As mentioned in my most recent post, I spent the past two weekends vacationing with family and visiting with friends. Subsequently, I also spent the past two weekends doing anything but baking. Today, I settled back into my normal routine and spent the afternoon happily re-creating dishes to share with you throughout the week.
While I write up those recipes, I hope you might enjoy a few photos from the time I spent in Northern Michigan. The northwest corner of the state, from Bear Lake to Frankfort to Platte Lake to Glen Arbor, are all places dear to my heart. Though I must also say, as a born and bred Buckeye, this will be the only time you will ever see Michigan in one of my blog post titles without the words “Go Bucks, Beat…” in front of it. I hope you all are having a lovely summer!

Cherry Republic: Another one of my favorite places to spend some dough. Or on this trip, Dad’s dough. Thanks for the treats, Dad!










Great pictures, sure enjoyed our time together in “that state up north!”
