A Beautiful Wedding

On Saturday, 10/29 Ann Gengel and I had the pleasure of helping out at the wedding of Tracy Maas and Jason Wetzel.  The event was held at the Mayowood Stone Barn in Rochester.  Karen (mother of the bride) and Tracy planned every detail and decoration.  Their creativity and hard work made for an amazing day and evening for all of the guests.  

The S'more Bar where guests could pick up the "fixings" to make their

 own treat at the bonfire.

Fall Baking

Farmhouse Apple Bread is so good and simple to make.

Recipe:
3 eggs, beaten
2 c. sugar
1 c. oil
1 T. vanilla extract
3 c. all-purpose flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
3 to 4 apples, cored, peeled and chopped
1 c. chopped pecans (I used walnuts)

Combine eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla until well mixed, set aside.  Combine flour, baking soda and cinnamon in a separate bowl; stir into egg mixture.  Fold in apples and nuts.  Divide equally between 2 greased and floured 9"x5" loaf pans.  Bake at 325 degrees for one hour and ten minutes.
