Today is bake day in these parts. \u00a0I’m doing as much ahead of time as possible and found a recipe to bake and freeze that will be great for a grab and go breakfast when we take Jordan and Yankee\u00a0to the airport for their flight to ski country. \u00a0Don’t worry. \u00a0We’ll get to spend four quality days together packed with activities before they go.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0– Fill pans 2\/3 full and bake 20 to 25 minutes. \u00a0Cool in pan for 5 minutes, and then remove. \u00a0Top with glaze and sprinkle nuts and additional orange peel, if desired.<\/h3>\n
