Persimmon and Walnut Sticky Bread needed to be on my list. This time of year is very busy trying to organize the social calendar around the work schedule. Mix in the family, stir in all the added things that fall on the “to do list” and you will discover your own perfect recipe.
It may add to our already very busy or hectic schedule. Please take some time for yourself. Work hard at making the most of your time. Add in a workout schedule to help reduce stress and offset the added calories that this time of year has in full doses. If your able to combine some of your tasks, it will help.
Combine Tasks to save time
Here are a few suggestions:
- Open a bottle of wine and enlist help wrapping gifts. Divide and conquer. Turn on the stereo and tell stories while wrapping.
- Order a kayak or paddle lesson for your family.
- Each night after dinner grab family and go for a short walk.
- Go see a movie with family or friends.
- Make a lunch date with family or friends in between running errands or shopping.
- Call a family meeting and pick out a friend/nonprofit in need of help.
- Grab a bottle or thermos of coffee and meet to watch a sunset.
We all need to relax. Focus on what really is important. Cherish the time that you have with family and friends. Our best days ever are our time spent with our loved ones. Typically this involves food and great conversations while eating.
All of my best days have a cocktail and food mixed in somewhere. The Persimmon Walnut Sticky Bread may also be made ahead of time and reheated for serving for breakfast or dessert. Add a dollop of cream to this bread and your set.
