Are you looking for a tasty tradition to celebrate Good Friday?
Have you tried making Hot Cross Buns with your bread maker (or stand mixer)?

There are several...
Just like soup in the winter, certain foods signal the start of summer for me. When our kids lived at home, we often went camping over Memorial Day weekend. Most of those memories center on spending time in the community bathrooms to stay safe during a rainstorm accompanied with tornado warnings. I remember desperately trying to grill shrimp in the rain one year. Nowadays, we celebrate with a backyard swimming party, lots of games, and the foods we crave most when summer starts.

Here's what we're having for Mother's Day My husband has a tradition of ordering dinner in for our family Mother's Day celebration after church. It's a nice break for all the mothers that doesn't require us to stand over a stove or in line at a restaurant. The party is at our house. Besides setting the table, my only job (self-appointed) is to make the desserts. Keep reading to see what's on the menu.
