This morning’s temperature was cool. So some warm hot chocolate hit the spot. And then I couldn’t resist making some bread. Don’t you love the smell of bread baking? It fills the house with that warm feeling and aroma. It just may warm the heart too. The smell elicits definite images of fresh bread even before it is done baking. The taste and smell invades your senses as you imagine enjoying the flavor. And that’s just what the smell does. Just wait for the taste!

Long process to make it? No! Sturdiwheat! It was in the pantry. Baguettes today. Opened the bag. Added the water. Kneaded the dough (THIS is one of the reasons I wanted to make the bread.) Later I formed the loaves and put it in the oven according to the simple instructions.

And now that smell has permeated the entire house. So easy. So healthy. So delicious.

I won’t be able to wait for lunch. I will be having some bread in a few moments. With just a touch of some marmalade. Wish you could join me. (I will be having more bread for lunch.)

These bread mixes are incredible. And nutritious. Check them out. You are in for a treat.

The drive along Lake Pepin between Minnesota and Wisconsin this weekend was really a showcase of spring. Flowers inching up from the ground. The shades of green as far as the eye can see. The warm sunshine. The welcoming songs of birds urging us to be out and enjoying the refreshing of life.

Take the drive! Stop at a scenic spot and have a picnic. Enjoy the lunch. Enjoy nature. Enjoy the time.

And with the lunch, how about some Oatmeal Raisin Bars? So easy. So good. So healthy. Sturdiwheat has it. Check it out. www.sturdiwheat.com. A great way to end the lunch before continuing on the journey downstream.

Make it a great day.
