Coffee Break!!





My mother worked as a cook at a logging camp, feeding 40 men everyday 5 days a week! I feel like I'm cooking for 40 men ! Thankfully I have the greatest mother that ever lived and she is here to help me feed my 4 men!


My boys are all done their school year and are now employed full time by my husbands company!! They are learning to build log homes! They are also spending from morning till evening with their father, something that has brought them closer and they are having the time of their lives!!


So what does all this mean? 4 lunches a day for 5 days and sometimes 6!! I no longer have leftovers and when I do, I don't have enough leftovers to make 4 lunches!! This is where my mother's cooking experience comes in.


The above picture is her cinnamon buns she used to make for the men who worked in the woods. 8 dozen to be exact! She whipped these up and I cooked them off, put them in freezer bags and into the freezer they went. Now my men have a nice treat for coffee break! Coffee and Meme's cinnamon buns!!


If possible I will get the recipe out of her and post it for you. She cooks the old fashioned way.....throw in what looks and feels good, mix it up, and cook it!! No measurements!!! It always comes out amazing!!
