This post was chosen by my children. They decided that this was the recipe that I needed to share with you this week. This is their favourite salad! We have already made this salad twice this month. Both times my second son was the head chef. He made this salad with utmost care. This week he teamed up with my daughter to create a beautiful summer picnic for all of us. Did I ever tell you that I am loving life with teenagers...<br />
<br />
<i>Here is our picnic day and salad recipe, too...</i><br />

1. In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, Belgian endive, red onion, baby arugula and cherry tomatoes, and half of the cheese. Toss the salad with enough vinaigrette to coat. Season the salad with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the salad on a platter</div>

One thing that I have noticed since I began photography, is that by focusing my lens, I direct my eyes to find things that I would normally just walk by and miss. There are so many wonderful things around that we simply do not notice. I believe in life, it is the same. I think that many times we just walk by and don't "focus in". <br />
This week I determined to "aim my lens" at life and capture in words the moments that I might have otherwise just walked by or missed. At the close of everyday, I jotted down five points for which I was grateful. Honestly, my writing was generic on my first try. A one word simple point number one, a simple point number two, a simple point number three, a simple point number four and a simple point number five.<br />
As the second evening rolled around, I reflected on my own abilities. I thought perhaps I would again write the same generic items: A simple point one, a simple point two...<br />
But, to my surprise, when I picked up my pen, to "focus in" on the day, all the amazing things...that I might have otherwise walked by...began to fill my page. They were not so <i>simple</i> points.<br />
By the end of day five, I was amazed. My simple points of gratitude were not so simple at all but, actually spectacular. <i>Seriously spectacular</i>. Is this my life? And to think I would have just walked by these things if I had not decided to take that written snapshot.<br />
I highly recommend taking a moment every evening and "focus in" on all the little moments that fill your day. What will you see when you "focus in" ? Will you see just the rain? Or will you see...<br />

Spring began last week. We have already gone stargazing, camped out in our yard and one of my children has gotten a sunburn. We have killed mosquitoes and have been tempted to go swimming in our lake (hmmm, maybe not yet). We stumbled upon a rattle snake, to later realize it was just a milk snake. And I can not tell you how many times my daughter has said to me, "It is so hot, why is it so hot? Aren't you hot?" No, this is not hot my dear little Canadian children. And that is just the first week of our Canadian spring.<br />
Today we are going on another adventure. We are on our way to the Muskoka Region of Ontario. My husband and his band have a radio interview. I love to travel, so we decided to all travel north together, about three more hours north. Why not?<br />
These muffins I packed for our adventure. They are delicious. I used fresh honey that my sister in law picked up at a local farmers' store. 4 out of 4 children stuck in a car agree these are amazing! We all highly recommend these muffins for your next breakfast morning...or road trip.<br />

I have not posted many photos from this winter. I think I could not bear to be optimistic about snow. And ice. And cold. I tried...but I could not do it, I hope you understand. <br />
But as the sun began to make it's appearance this week, I decided to photograph the last clutches of winter. So, down to the lake I went.<br />
My son was very eager to see the melting ice up close...and yes of course he fell in (and that is why his shoes and socks are off for most of the photos). How is it where you live? Do you have any signs of winter still?<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Some of the most beautiful things in life we miss and walk right past. In my pocket, I put a small folded piece of paper. On that paper I have written a name. It is a name of a person I almost didn't take the time to get to know. It was a name of a person I had once avoided. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I work with the elderly and I love what I do. Most of the time, I make instant friends with those I work. But others take a little more time. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">One person, in particular, made me nervous. I will call her...Madeline for this story. Every time I walked by her, she would rush from her chair and </span>confront me. Five inches from my face she would shout, "Why are you here!?!" What are you doing!?!" Being a master of dealing with difficult situations, I would avoid her by quietly tip-toeing past.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But one day I had an unavoidable confrontation. The bell choir that I conduct was about to have a concert. I had an audience of about 30 people...and a chime choir of 10. All of a sudden, I heard shouts coming from the audience. Turning around, I saw Madeline...and I needed to quickly calm her down.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I walked up to her. Immediately, she raised her fist to strike. </span>My bell choir gasped. Trying to shake off my own fear, I calculated how hard a 70 year old lady could punch anyway. I stepped closer again. She shouted again. Now, just a few inches away I reassured her and let her know she would enjoy the show and everything was OK. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2leJdaFVymRhau-rhLHFOOCOYVE3nokCiY8stHvkjdEfXX244lDHRpCzCksGm75X5ImjThL8v-6j1VXa4k2Z7wYyN1-HGV5qgKk7ofLld1PNkS0PjVr8pZU2yx9sO0OGF6JJMZ3MN38E/s1600/cloud3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2leJdaFVymRhau-rhLHFOOCOYVE3nokCiY8stHvkjdEfXX244lDHRpCzCksGm75X5ImjThL8v-6j1VXa4k2Z7wYyN1-HGV5qgKk7ofLld1PNkS0PjVr8pZU2yx9sO0OGF6JJMZ3MN38E/s1600/cloud3.jpg" height="472" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I did not see Madeline for one week after that incident, but when she saw me again, I braced for more of the same. Somehow though, things were different. This time she followed me and asked to join my drum program. She sat just watching everyone at first, but then she joined in. When the program finished, and everyone had left, she remained. Then she began to talk (not shout). She told me about her family, about where she grew up and her children. And I listened. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
Then this same lady, the many months before, who would shout at me as I walked past with my guitar, asked if I could sing her a few songs. So I did. For thirty minutes I sang. The entire time Madeline stared silently at the floor. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As I stood up to leave, Madeline lifted her head. She smiled at me for the first time and quietly whispered, "<i>Thank you.</i>"</span><br />
<br />
Until this day, Madeline confronts me whenever I walk by her, with my guitar slung over my back. But she does not shout. She asks when the music will be and if she can come along. And every time I say, "<i>Yes</i>". And every time, she smiles and says, "<i>Thank you, I really enjoy coming</i>." And I smile back and say, "<i>I really, truly enjoy being with you, too, more than you will ever know.</i>"<br />
<br />
Some of the most beautiful things in life we miss. I think we miss them for many reasons. <br />
<br />
So, in my pocket I carry a name. I hope to never forget Madeline and her beautiful smile...<br />

Happy Victoria Day! Today we had a small picnic to celebrate. In Canada, Victoria Day was established to honour all present and past ruling Monarchs of the British Empire, which Canada is a part. The holiday is held dear to Canadians as it marks the beginning of summer planting, the beginning of the final month of school, but most importantly, it heralds the beginning of the glorious warm months ahead. <br />
<br />
Being an American, transplanted in Canada, I am always willing to celebrate. Any holiday is good with me. Why not celebrate the Monarchy of Canada. On this day, tradition calls for fireworks, bonfires, a pack of 24, and being with family (which by the way I do think is all very grand). But, I would like to propose a new tradition. How about serving tea cakes with tea? Sound very Monarchy-like, doesn't it? What do you think? Why not give them a try! I hope you love these treats like we did.<i> </i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span></span>Ingredients:<br />
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened<br />
1 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling cakes <br />
2 large eggs, room temperature<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
3 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour <br />
1 teaspoon baking powder<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg<br />
1/2 cup sour cream<br />
<br />
Directions: <br />
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy and
well blended. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, and mix in vanilla extract. In a
separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg and
add to butter mixture, alternating with tablespoons of sour cream and
mixing well. Wrap dough in plastic wrap or sheets of wax paper and chill
4 hours or overnight.<br />
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.<br />
Dust a cutting board with flour and roll out dough until it’s about 1
inch thick. Cut out cookies with a 3-inch round cookie cutter or use a
drinking glass about the same size. Put tea cakes on a lightly greased
baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until
lightly browned. Remove cookies from baking sheet and cool on a rack.
Store in an air-tight container.<br />

Ingredients:<br />
4 mint tea bags<br />
8 cups of boiling water<br />
1 cup of raspberries<br />
1 lime, juiced<br />
1 cup water<br />
1/4 cup sugar<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
1. In a medium size container (I used a saucepan), pour boiling water over the 4 mint tea bags. Set aside to brew.<br />
2. In another small saucepan, over medium heat, combine 1 cup of water, sugar, lime and one cup raspberries.<br />
3. Allow the mixture to come to a boil. Lower heat to allow the mixture to simmer for a 5 minutes to ensure that the raspberries are cooked through and to infuse the taste of raspberry throughout the sauce.<br />
4. Remove raspberry sauce from the heat source and mash with a potato masher or fork.<br />
5. Remove tea bags from the brewing mint tea.<br />
6. Through a medium mesh sieve, pour raspberry sauce into the mint tea (This step is to remove the large chunks of pulp).<br />
7. Allow the tea to come to room temperature then refrigerate.<br />
8. Serve cold.<br />

After five long months of winter...the world outside seemed to change almost over night. As I was driving my children into town, I was amazed at the bright green grass along the way. I was sure it was <i>special</i> green grass that had just been planted. Our world has been grey and brown for so long..I had honestly forgotten what new spring green grass looked like.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Though the Canadian winters are long, spring has an almost magical effect. It can make you forget that just a few weeks ago were seemingly endless days of snow and ice.</div>

Today is a grey day here...and so was the day before that...and the day before that...and the day before that. I am still waiting for the flowers to bloom outside...and wondering when spring will finally truly come. I suppose, if you really look, you can find beauty in "grey-ness"...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But, when I saw these pictures in my daughter's camera. I smiled...and forgot about the grey world outside. I hope you enjoy them as well.</div>

I hope that you have enjoyed the past six weeks of <i>Yeah! It is Spring </i>Pancake Celebration here on <i>A Pair of Rose Colored Glasses</i>. Upon, finding out this was truly the end of our pancake adventures, my children were gravely disappointed and were eager to recommend other possible celebrations ideas...like six weeks of waffles or perhaps six weeks of crepes. But for now, this is the end...so, I wanted to create something extra special. <br />
Last summer, my parents, visiting from Florida, picked, pitted, bagged and froze every single sour cherry from the three cherry trees beside our house. It took <i>days </i>of work, but their perseverance paid off by giving us enough bags of sour cherries to last through a long Canadian winter. With one bag of cherries remaining, I made these pancakes. Half of the cherries I dried overnight (to bring out the sweetness) and the other half went into the cherry sauce topping. You don't need to dry your own sour cherries like I did. Dried Cherries can easily be found in grocery stores (also dried cranberries would probably work fine). In addition to cherries and white chocolate <i>in</i> the pancakes, I have added recipes for two sauces to<i> top</i> the pancakes with: white chocolate sauce and cherry sauce. These sauces make a wonderful addition to the pancakes...and add to the <i>celebration</i>. The white chocolate sauce is best prepared the night before, so as to thicken. If white chocolate is not your thing...these would work just as wonderfully by substituting the white chocolate with dark chocolate or milk chocolate in both the pancake and the sauce.<br />
For my children, this was a bitter sweet ending to a lovely six weeks of pancakes. Discussing the weeks of pancakes they have had, the White Chocolate Sour-Cherry was among the top of the list. We hope that you will enjoy these pancakes like we did. I have put all the other recipes from the past six weeks into my "In Recipe" tab at the top of my blog...<i>Happy Spring!</i><br />

The lake behind our house is still half frozen as we wait for the spring to make its appearance. But, I am thinking that my little pancake celebrations are helping change the climate. These pancakes were a nice change from the everyday pancake. I loved this pancake a lot. Peaches remind me of the warm south...so when I saw this recipe in <i>Taste of Home</i> I wanted to try it. The sauce is my own creation. One favourite way to eat peaches down south is with cream. The cinnamon in the sauce is a throw-in for my mom...because half of my breakfasts, as a child, contained cinnamon and sugar in one form or another.(Which by the way I still love) These pancakes were very delicious! I hope you give them a try!<br />

My littlest son, 8 yrs old, expecting pancakes, ran down the stairs bright and early to see which flavour was being made today. "Banana, "I said. "Yuck!" he said, "I hate banana pancakes."<br />
Honestly, me too, I am not a fan of banana pancakes...but something about this recipe caught my eye...and I am very happy it did. These were a very big hit. My eldest son and my husband declared these their new favourite pancakes. They loved the addition of the macadamia nuts. And my littlest complainer, even ended up saying, "Yum! I love these! Can I have some more of the orange butter on top!"<br />
<br />
For this beautiful spring day...I give you... <br />
