Fall is in the air and it brings out the baker in me. Today I made Sweet Milk Bread and Dutch Apple Cake. Hope it is as tasty as it looks.


I did make the cake last year and the recipe is on this blog but the bread is a new recipe. We just tasted the bread and it is yummy.

Sweet Milk Bread
Ingredients for a 1-lb loaf:
5/8 cup water (for Welbilt machine, no extra water is needed)
3/8 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 1/2 teaspoons Red Star brand active dry yeast

Directions:
Place all ingredients in the bread pan, select Light Crust setting, and press Start. After the baking cycle ends, remove bread from pan, place on cake rack. Allow to cool 1 hour before slicing.

Last Friday Katie and Izzie came for an overnight with Grandma and Grandpa Buck. We had a great time. Friday on the way home we stopped for dinner at Wendy's and then off to the grocery store so Katie could get some push ups. She has come to love them and Izzie is finally getting figuring out how to eat one.

Saturday morning we headed to town to get a pretzel at Target.(another favorite activity) After we ate our pretzel we headed to Olson Park for a little playtime. We were very surprised when we arrived to see that they had a splash pad. Obviously, it has been a long time since we were there.

We had no swim suits but we did have some fun.



There was also play equipment and a petting zoo. Sadly, the petting zoo was not open and so we had to walk around the outside to see the animals.

Following a nap we headed back to Waukee for dinner at the Pizza Ranch. Sunday we went to the St Boniface picnic. What a great time. Lot's of fun things for everyone to do.
