So, today my husband and boys are going camping, while my daughter and I spend two nights at a culinary and spa resort up in northern Vermont.

His and hers and everyone VERY happy. I’m even taking a cooking class this afternoon on Summer Starters. Can’t wait!

When we go on long car trips, my husband does all of the driving.

I never sleep in the car, but if he EVER pulled something like this 1) We’d be dead, because I am one very excitable shotgun passenger or 2) He’d be dead for pulling something like this.

If you have a long car trip ahead of you, pack some of these Cinnamon Mini Muffins for a snack.

The muffins are really yummy warm, but equally good the next day when they taste like mini crullers.

This is perfect road trip music. Play as loudly as the driver will tolerate.

‘What about Canada?’ I love that part.
