Sandy shared a Christmas morning tradition with us last night: Angel Tips! They are delicious! Here’s the recipe with a few shots.

Grandma Soogie’s Cinnamon Rolls
All of us in my family have always looked forward to Grandma Soogie’s Cinnamon Rolls that accompanied these three holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. It was the only three times a year that these delicious buns were served. One year, before Grandma lost the ability to write, I had her put the pen to paper and detailContinue reading Grandma Soogie’s Cinnamon Rolls

Gigi’s 8!
Silver Pagoda Mountain
We are back to touring. It’s always fun to take an adventure on a Sunday. Today we finally found Silver Pagoda Mountain. It may just become our favorite hike yet with the little creek leading the way up and a bell tower reward at the top. We made it!!
Peanut Butter Cream Pie, for Mikey
When I feel like baking or cooking, I’ll often go to my very favorite recipe depository, Tastespotting.com. We had been back in Beijing for a week and a half, and on Wednesday of this last week, I finally had the urge to enter the kitchen again. When I went to Tastespotting.com, this is a screen shotContinue reading Peanut Butter Cream Pie, for Mikey

Recipe: Broccoli Candy
Our dear friend Sandy Pascolini shared this recipe with us, and it’s so good we’ve been making it all summer long! I’ve adjusted her recipe to serve a crowd–which is what we usually have out here at the Kremb de la Kremb Cabin! Use the florets from 5 heads of broccoli. Douse and marinate for at leastContinue reading Recipe: Broccoli Candy
Spirit Lake, Idaho to Mt. Spokane, Washington
Yesterday we finally ventured on the back logging roads of Spirit Lake in hopes of reaching Mt. Spokane. Although there was no final reaching point to the ski resort, we did come close. The best part was the scenery as seen below:
