Last weekend my 50's home was full. It is so much fun to visit and get to know my guests. All enjoyed the treasures I have acquired and was asked to give a brief tour. I was told they spent hours stepping back in time and enjoying the items remembered from their childhood. As they rented the home, they made their breakfast with the vintage appliances. I was asked to come in and get a peek of the yummy recipe in the oven. Here is the recipe they shared with me:
Finnish Oven Pancake
Mix: 4 large eggs, 2 cup milk, 1 cup flour, 1/2 c sugar
In a cast iron skillet/pot, melt 1/4 pound butter by setting in a 425 deg. oven.
Pour mixture into the melted butter and return to 425 deg. oven for 30 minutes. Serve with maple syrup or jam.
It looked and smelled great. An iron skillet is on my list of things to buy. Enjoy!! Isn't it fun to learn new things!!!
My time was spent in my gardens. I can be available for my guests and also concentrate on landscaping, etc. I have drawn up plans for my gazebo but have to decide on the size. I want it to be large enough for weddings, ice cream socials and vintage car shows but cozy for an evening get-together on the "prairie".
I harvested my rhubarb and made two great pies. Tune in next week for the easy recipe....

SPRING BUZZ and a Recipe for Peaches and Cream Cheesecake!
At last...green is back. I have been spending allot of time on landscaping, planting flowers and gardens. The tulips are in bloom and perennials are peeking out to check weather conditions.
Promoting tourism in Wisconsin and the Empire Prairie has been my focus. This is such a beautiful area filled with so many nice people. I have attended many meetings in the past week and obtained contacts to use to increase my knowledge of tourism and networking. Communication and sharing of ideas is priceless. The Columbia County Economic Development Corporation provided a treasure chest of information.
Our area Networking group will be meeting next week to brain storm on how we can pool our resources to increase interest in our local businesses.
May is a very busy month with graduations and many family events. My Bed and Breakfast will be busy providing a warm and homey atmosphere to relax
and rest from the days celebrations.
I was host to the Poynette Chamber of Commerce meeting. We had a brief lunch followed by the plans for the summer months. I made a dessert I would like to share.
PEACHES AND CREAM CHEESECAKE
2 C graham cracker crumbs - 6 T melted butter - 1/4 C sugar
(mix and press into 9 x 13 pan/refrigerate)
4 - 8 oz pkgs cream cheese
3/4 C sugar
(blend w/electric mixer - add 3 oz pkg of peach jello and blend)
Chop 15 oz can of sliced peaches drained WELL and add to cream cheese mixture with spoon. Fold in WELL 8 oz carton of Cool whip. Add to crust and chill for 4 hours to set. I make this the night before. Very light and refreshing. Use brand names as the flavor is much better.
