My bub’s is a freshman in high school. His classes every Wednesday start an hour later….. I don’t know why….but I know that I have loved having one more hour to start my day with him every week. We have gone to breakfast….stopped for coffee…and it is a hour that we can talk without any interruptions. You know teenage boys…they don’t just pour out themselves all that easily….and this hour every Wednesday to just chit chat has been such a highlight to my week. I promised him and myself to not discuss grades, school….or things that might bring up a confrontation…but just to talk. Sports, girls, friends, food, summer, golf, winter….anything really. I have loved watching him grow into a young man this year….stepping up to the responsibilities of attending a college prep school. School is challenging….but he has met every challenge head on…giving it his all. He is becoming a leader….and it is such a reward to watch him be confident and steadfast in himself.

We have started many a Wednesday at Starbucks. He likes the coco and bagels…I like the coffee cake. One morning we discussed “why is it called coffee cake when there is not any coffee in it?” Because it taste so dang good with coffee….he didn’t want to try…for fear of a “coffee” taste. Finally I encouraged him that he would actually like it…cinnamonny and butter goodness.

Your’e right mom….I do like it. Well hot damn—mom was right….can I get that in writing?

You could make these in a muffin pan if you don’t have this mini loaf pan….just test for doneness a bit earlier.
