Good morning Friends,

It's all hustle and bustle here on the SouthShore, as we dive into the new school year! Today is the first day of school for the kids and they are scrambling around trying to get everything together before the bus pulls up the drive. 

To kick off the new instructional season, I have planned a fantastic breakfast treat! Once again I've been hard at work, in my kitchen, ironing out the kinks to a perfect recipe! Please feel free to send me your comments, and tell me what you think! Have a great day everybody!

I love you all! 

Bec
