Weekend Fun

What a Weekend Full of fun for everyone!

How was your guys weekend?

It was such a beautiful weekend so we spent the day out and about.

Still loving these boots that I got from Italy.

Our first stop was the Asian store.

It was our first time there.

It was so exciting to shop in a big Asian grocery store like this.

Just expected.

It was amazing.

Lots of Asian goodies that I usually don't find elsewhere.

The grocery store was big enough.

Not as spacious but just enough.

So glad I found these!

My new favorite snack!

Seeing these just reminded me of my time in South Korea.

Good memories!

They have a whole Aisle full of Filipino goodies!

I'm in-love!

...And a lot of Seafood.

Being here in the US.

I don't expect seafood everywhere.

Usually they are already frozen, but seeing fresh ones just makes me so happy.

Exotic ingredients!

..And of course Fresh Produce.

They have a lot of good stuff!!

Authentic homegoods.

I have never seen this broom sold in other Asian stores.

Our little haul.

Well it maybe not that little, it was all I wanted for now.

PAN ASIA store in Overland park.

I highly recommend!!

Our next stop was Lees Summit.

Hubby wanted to take the boys Arcade.

My husband loves old school games.

It's actually good!

With these days everything so digital and touch screens its good to keep introducing

the boys with old school games.

Arcade Alley in Downtown Lee Summit.

It was a great time!!

Have a great week!

I am such in a Baking mood these days.

Now that I'm pretty much done unpacking and just doing little bit of cleaning here and then..

I still have some Apples to use so I decided to make Bread this time.

I love love Bread, It's the easiest food to eat for breakfast of just for snack.

Not everyone loves bread in the house but it still quickly get eaten.

This bread is definitely one of the easiest to make.

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
2/3 cup +2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup + 1 - 3 tablespoons milk
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper, with ends hanging over edge of pan. Spray parchment with nonstick spray.
Mix brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl; set aside. Toss apples with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and remaining teaspoon cinnamon in another bowl; set aside.
Beat butter and remaining 2/3 cup granulated sugar together with mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on medium speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time; add vanilla extract.
Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together in another bowl, then add to creamed butter mixture and beat until blended. Mix 1/2 cup milk into batter until smooth.
Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan; add half the chopped apple mixture.
Sprinkle half of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture on top of apple layer.
Pour the remaining batter over apple layer and top with remaining chopped apples, then the remaining brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.
Lightly pat apples into batter; swirl brown sugar mixture through apples using a knife.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. Watch bread and cover with foil during last 10 minutes of baking time to prevent overbrowning if needed.
Let loaf rest in pan for 15 minutes , then remove from pan using edge of parchment and place on wire rack to cool completely.
