A,B,Cs Revisited

TGIF! This week was a bit rough for blogging.  I wasn't inspired to get into the kitchen. Our dinners were just to get us feed.  These feelings don't come often and I can already sense them fading away.  Recipes to come this weekend.  Bread anyone?  Until then here is a no picture (gasp!) post.

A is for Apple, what’s your favorite variety?


Honeycrisp is my absolute favorite. So crispy and sweet.

B: is for Bread, regardless of nutrition, calories, or whole grains what is your favorite type to have a nice big piece of?

I love Anadama bread. A little molasses and cornmeal makes the bread quite hearty.

C: is for Cereal what is your favorite kind currently (just one!) Currently-

Barbara’s cinnamon puffins.

D: is for Doughnuts, you might not currently be eating them but what kind do you fancy?

I am not a huge fan of donuts. They always give me a tummy ache. Homemade chocolate cake donuts though or apple cider donuts in the fall.

Over easy and I am not picky about the yoke breaking.
