This morning I was invited to go out to my friends Garth and Deb's house to learn to make Dutch sugar bread. I was a good way to spend the morning. I wanted to learn how to make it for a few reasons. The first reason is it is, without question the most delicious bread I have ever eaten. I asked Garth once for the instructions and recipe but he said he swore to the man that gave it to him he would never share it with anyone. So unless I steal it in the dark of night or He will's it to me I will never get my hands on this stuff.
The second reason I wanted to go out and learn to make this bread was for my children. This time of year I become the most lazy school lunch maker. At the beginning of the year I am great, the children have healthy snacks with a variety of choice, by December they get a sandwich that, if they are lucky has peanut butter spread on half of the bread. maybe they will have a cheese string, and possibly a yogurt tube. On really bad days I just open the cupboard and grab three or four random things I see. One time (for my own personal amusement) I closed my eyes and just grabbed a few things and shoved them into lunch bags. A can of soup, panko crumbs and vanilla extract seem exciting and interesting to try.
So now after a bit of a rest from the craziness of every day, I will recommit to trying harder to pack them food they will enjoy and is nutritious.
