BIZZY BAKES

While our friend, Louise brings cheer into our lives throughout the year, she particularly does so when she organizes the SOCIAL EVENT of the year, our online picnic with the most outstanding variety of foods.  Louise can be found  at  Months of Edible Celebrations  where you will find the fascinating information and delicious recipes.  It is a treat to visit there each day so go on over and enjoy yourselves.

I am using this for two events.  Lyndsey from Tiny Skillet is my partner in  Taste & Create where we cook from each other's blogs.  She has such a wonderful variety of dishes that I kept changing my mind as what to make, until I realized, I missed the deadline to post my contribution.  That helped me decide.  I selected something quick and easy to make that looked scrumptious. Inside with creamy cheese... For the picnic, I have the letter U and this fit in beautifully for this Unique Flan.  Each year, the charming Louise from Months of Edible Celebrations. Unique describes this fascinating site.  Louise stresses food holidays, history and recipes plus.  When, I go there, I don't wan to leave.  You should look for yourself.  I am sure you will be entranced. Now, I am going to share with you the foods coming to this picnic, of course, with us.  We have to eat all this good stuff, at least online.  I will fill in the...
