When Your Adult Kids Live Away do you Bake & Take?
Thanks for Reading my Newsletter! Please feel free to Subscribe & Share!
Murray & I have 3 adult children. 2 live away from us. When they were young I never really thought about them moving away! I suppose I just assumed that they would live near us, but that is not what happened. We are very happy for them that they are living good lives where there are. One of our kids lives in the same city as we do, which is wonderful .
When we go visit the ‘away’ kids, I always bake what I know they like & take it to them. I suppose that is my personal ‘love language’. When we are going to visit the grandkids I usually have half a suitcase full of cookies & ‘things’. I love when they dig into the suitcase for everything. Now that they are older they tell me the type of cookies they want me to bring! The last time we went this is what they wanted Chocolate Chip Cookies, Cinnamon S Cookies & Sprinkle Hamantaschen. I also took a loaf of Cape Seed Bread for the grown-ups!
I am so grateful for video calls either on FaceTime or WhatsApp. It makes it very easy to stay in touch and see everyone more often the only the times we travel to see them.
Do you every bake & take? My sister lives in California with her husband & when her Mother-in-law was alive I used to take a shoe box full of roly-poly to them for her! A time honoured activity that some moms do!
Not everyone bakes so they don’t take baking to their kids but I like to and am very happy my kids enjoy what I take!
This Week On The Blog
One of my fav cakes is Carrot Cake. I do not like all of them though. Sometimes they are too sweet. This recipe is from many years ago. I found it in Chatelaine Magazine. Triple Layer Carrot Cake. It was is a favourite of one of my kids!
This recipe is a fav of ours! A simple & delish dish that is a quick dinner & can really be made to your taste! Korean Style Ground Beef Bowl You can change the veg no problem, change the quinoa to rice or noodles & you can use any protein you want! The flavour is really great!
Here is a NEW recipe for a Brownie with a Biscoff Spread swirl! The Biscoff filling is chewy & the flavour is really amazing. Brownies with a Biscoff Spread Swirl
