Now and then I post about places that I frequent. This one is one of my absolute all time favorites. I have been going to this bakery since 1992 and has been in the family for over 50 years. This place has created so many great memories for me just because of having their baked goods over the years. Places like this you can’t duplicate, especially in today’s times.

This is a little bakery called Friendly Bake Shop and is nestled in the heart of the Village of Frankfort located in upstate New York’s Mohawk Valley. This is their 4th generation of spreading love through their baked goods.

They truly show their love for what they do through their products. The recipes haven’t changed one bit. No preservatives or additives, just pure homemade awesome tasting donuts and bread.

The donuts literally melt in your mouth and the bread is indescribable. All you need is a pat of butter on a slice of that wholesome goodness and you are in heaven.

If you are ever driving this way through the Mohawk Valley, this place is definitely worth trying. You won’t regret it.

Leftover Salt Potato Cheesy Goodness

I get bored of eating the same thing, not every day but even once a month. I love taking leftovers and turning them into a first time recipe. For instance, salt potatoes. All though they are so good, sometimes you just need to change things up a bit. So I took leftover salt potatoes, cut them up into small pieces and put each one in a muffin tin. I drizzled olive oil on top, sprinkled cheddar cheese, and Italian seasoning.

Ingredients

  • 1 – 12 Cooked salt potatoes, 1 for each muffin tin slot(however many you want to make)
  • 1 tbsp of cheddar cheese
  • a drizzle of olive oil(I prefer Specially Selected Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil) a GREAT product for the price)
  • 2 shakes of Italian seasoning

If you’re thinking about giving up, this is your sign to keep going. No matter who or what gets in your way don’t stand down. If your own thoughts are deterring you from what you need to get done, change your train of thought.

There’s no one on this earth that can stop you from doing what’s best for you. Occasionally, outside factors may creep in and try to alter your thoughts and beliefs. That’s when you have to listen to the vibes that your heart and gut instincts are sending you. They’re connected. Listen to them.

Life is only as complicated as we make it. Keep it simple. ~ jg

There is Peace in Silence

People say, ” you can never be in complete silence because of the noises that are going on around you.” There is some truth to that but you can silence your mind and tune those noises out. The noises go way beyond the audio you hear. They are a derivative of its source. Life that goes on around us is the creator of the noises we hear. Noises affect our mental psyche. It alters our thinking, behaviors, and overall our stability in life. The stillness you get from silence creates the peace inside you.

Worrying is one source of what makes up the chatter and noises that consume your thoughts. It can be debilitating at times. If you can learn to worry less about the things you have no control of, it’s only then that you’ll see that the noises in your mind start to fade. Quieting your mind isn’t easy. Anxious feelings will consume you at first but if you can surrender those feelings of anxiousness and worry, the silence will become peaceful.

That is when the healing begins.
