Happy Tuesday morning, everyone!  How was your holiday weekend?

We had a good one.  It was nice and long.  The kids were off school on Friday and Monday, and my husband was also home for a lot of it.  I think everyone got really relaxed and now they’re all ready for a new week.

Everyone, with the possible exception of me.  Sunday was a lazy day in front of the pool, but other than that I’ve been baking up a storm, getting ready for an upcoming trip.  On Wednesday morning I’m hopping on a plane to travel across the country to Washington, to tour the Stemilt orchards and learn all about how they grow their fruit.  It should be fun!  I’m really looking forward to it, but it’s been a lot of prep to get recipes developed, made, and photographed so that they can keep on coming while I’m away.
