BEDA #7 baking day

Hello everyone 

I made a few sweet things this morning- all with old, tried and true recipes.  

A double recipe of Banana bread- it made all those muffins and 1 tiny loaf , also a lemon dessert 

I printed off this recipe in 2000 and it’s still my go-to banana bread recipe 

The lemon dessert is an old recipe too.  I remember making it when my son Bobby was a baby and he will be 40 this month. 

It’s kind of like cheesecake but lighter and it doesn’t use cream cheese 

Oatmeal cookies - these are crunchy cookies and a lot like a granola bar 

Of course cooking leads to a lot of dirty dishes 

Thankfully most of them fit in the dishwasher and I washed a few more by hand. 

The kitchen is 100% clean now and we shouldn't need anymore sweets for days.

BEDA #6 - bunch of stuff

Hello everyone.  

We voted in our school board and city council election and then we had a late breakfast at 

Jimmy’s Egg

My husband ordered a big breakfast but I ordered from the smaller 55+ menu.  My plate was still pretty big, there is a scrambled egg under the 3 strips of bacon and that’s supposed to be a mini stack of pancakes but it was more than enough for me.  

This was the first sit down restaurant meal we have had in so much months and we really enjoyed it.  

Also,  my husband and I are both fully vaccinated for Covid too so I’m feeling braver about doing low risk things like eating in a not-crowded restaurant.  

We did several errands while we were out.  Ducky went to the doggie spa, we went to the bank and got groceries with a Walmart pickup 

I needed to get some groceries before our house guests arrive.  I’m not sure what meals will be eaten here but I’m prepared.  

And Ducky went to the spa so he won’t offend anyone with his doggie aroma.  

Produce I ordered to top off what we already have 

In general,  the Walmart shoppers do a very good job picking out nice produce.  

Our supper was a quick meal- and we had such a big late breakfast,  we never ate lunch and just skipped to supper. 

There were leftover mashed potatoes from Easter so we had a simple Shepherds Pie with some asparagus from this yard.  

And this photo is before I cooked everything 

Our guest rooms are pretty much geared for grandkids but I tried to set this room as good as it can be for 2 adults.  

I stacked the coffee tables that are normally toy tables and pulled apart the trundle bed so there is room to walk in the room.  

It is what it is- I guess our guests can pretend they are at camp 

Hope you’re all fine 

❤️Rhonda
