Coffee Cake and a cup of Tea!

I can't believe it already Friday.  I have stopped for a few minutes this morning to have a cup of tea, and blog my heart away....  We are leaving today for our little cabin in the woods and hunting and my husband is so excited!!!  I am praying he gets a big buck, God willing......   I have made buritto meat to take with us and a coffee cake.  It is so easy.  I am going to post the recipe for any of you who wants a change for breakfast or even a snack.

This is my son's favorite.  So he will be so surprized!!!!  I hope I get a bite....LOL!  I am packing up all the needed things for at least a week of hunting and wow!!!  we take alot of stuff.  We really need to simplify even more.  We camp rustic with an outhouse and water from containers.  There is no electricty, but we do have a small cabin to stay in.  Well I call it a cabin.  It is a 12x12, we have a bed in there and a few chairs, and a small kitchen area.  It is great though to sleep inside and have a place to get in if the weather is bad.  Ohhhh I too am excited.  Well better get back to getting busy! Bye for now.
