Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

This is the time of year when I start really thinking about brunch food. It’s probably because Easter is the biggest brunch holiday in my family and I’ve added this Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake to my repertoire.

An almondy cake base with a cream cheese raspberry filling and a crumb mixture made with slivered almonds and buttery crumbs???

I am definitely going to have a hard time not picking at this cake ALL WEEK LONG.

Time to share some with neighbor friends!

Spring Bucket List 2021

I started making this Spring Bucket List last year with the intention of sharing it, but COVID happened and everything changed. We spent a lot of time at home. I spent a lot of time in my yard. Spring slowed down for a bit and we were able to soak it in with a slower pace of life.

My word for 2020 was GROW and I took that seriously with my garden. Here’s what I drew in the Spring section of my Currently Workbook last year.

This is what I am working with this year with my Spring Bucket List. Hopefully, things will progress here in California and we will be able to have more freedom back in our life after lockdown.

It will be so nice to be able to look forward to things again.
