With going back to school and all I have started to enjoy my life as a grand-parent. The reason is that while princess sees her friends at school because she is in early elementary school I go pick her up and see her friends parents and grandparents. What a treat for me to sit and chat for a moment. Here is a great recipe that we are sharing right now. I must say not the first time

A delicious sweet bread that bonds friends by sharing countless loaves of bread that all began from the same bowl of simple ingredients. Choose a few friends to start this wonderful tradition, they'll thank you for it!
