Spring has Sprung!

Hello there spring. 

I've been waiting for you!

This has been the worlds longest winter, I swear! 

Every time we seemed to get some relief from the cold and snow we would get hit again. 

That's winter in Canada right ?

I'm sooo looking forward to spring that it's not even funny! 

Spring is my second favorite season. (Autumn is my first)

I love opening all the windows and letting in fresh air. 

There is something about the fresh spring air flowing through my house that makes me feel so zen. 

I am looking forward to spending more time outside with our puppies who have been cooped up for majority of the insanely cold winter. They are going to love getting into a routine again! Walks and playing outside are their favorites. 

I'm excited to see green grass again, and flowers. 

Heck I don't even care if we get spring showers. 

Anything is better then looking outside at the miserable snow covered ground. 

I'm even looking forward to spring cleaning (and may have already started it!) 

So welcome spring with open arms and try to look at all the bright positive things that are going to happen this season! 

 

March Meal Plan Week #2

New Week ; New Menu! 

Recipes; 

Hamburger Buns 

Soup, Soup, Soup

Mac & Cheese 

Look Out For; 

Chicken Salad Recipe

Hamburger Buns

These buns are perfect not just for hamburgers, but other meals that require buns as well. 

These buns are my go-to for grill season and I wanted to share them with you. 

Once you make these I guarantee you won't want to buy store bought buns again! 

Place the following ingredients into the drum of your bread maker in the order listed; 

 yield; 8 buns 

2 cups of flour 

2 tbl sugar 

1 tsp salt 

1 tbl oil 

1 egg

1/2 cup of water 

1 tsp yeast 

Place bread maker on the dough/pasta setting and wait for the dough to be finished. 

My bread maker takes 2 hours to complete this setting. 

Place dough on lightly floured surface. 

Divide and shape dough into 8 bun shapes. 

Place on a greased baking sheet, brush the tops with a little bit of oil. 

Cover and let rise for 30 minutes in a warm place. 

Brush tops with oil again if desired. 

Bake in preheated, 400 degree oven for 10 - 15 minutes until lightly browned.  

The best hamburger buns EVER! 
:)

This is how I store my flour and sugar.

Plastic bins with air tight lids are ideal for holding large quantities of these baking goods.
