Summertime has officially arrived and not a moment too soon.  High’s were in the mid 80’s that afternoon and I have been itching to make a frozen concoction in my ice cream maker that hasn’t seen the light of day since last summer.

While the boys were out fishing, I prepared this incredibly simple recipe of vanilla frozen yogurt.  I’ve been wondering how this recipe would turn out and well, it was delicious!  Sweet and creamy with a bit of tang.

If you do happen to make this, I would love to know what you think.

A little over five years ago we fell in love.  Hubby and I that is – fell in love with Roslyn, Washington.  Have you heard of it?  It is one of the most beautiful, little towns you can come across.  Deep history, friendly folk and sweeping views all rolled into one. Not to mention, this is where Northern Exposure was filmed.

Hubby and I purchased a “little slice of Heaven” here in Roslyn.  It is (to us) the perfect piece of land for our Airstream to stay when we come to visit.  I am really looking forward to sharing with you, everything Roslyn has to offer.

When I woke up on our first morning here, the stillness outdoors was amazing.  The sun’s rays were just emerging and things were starting to happen. I was happy.  Calm.

Relaxed.

Breakfast was simple (really!) crepes stuffed with lox, fluffy scrambled eggs, melted Gruyere cheese topped with creme fraiche and chives.  The basic crepe recipe can be found here.

SunCountry Golf is a wonderfully maintained 18-hole golf course set amongst the Cascade Mountains and provides the perfect relaxing weekend get-away as it is located near the heart of the Cascade Mountains 90 minutes East of Downtown Seattle.

SunCountry offers up amazing views and a fantastic, meticulously maintained golf course.  The RV spots are generous for your rig and tow vehicle and accomodating with full hookups as well as clean and spacious washrooms nearby.

Owner’s Jim and Cherie were so sweet and gave us a grand tour of their golf course.  They explained to us how they implemented the course and how the 18 holes came to be approximately three years ago.  They have truly created an absolute haven.  They also installed a wind turbine which at first, I thought was a piece of art (it is so beautiful).  Jim explained how that turbine powers all of the pumps on the course.  It is so refreshing to meet people who are very conscientious of our environment and who take steps to help our environment.

Here is a little tidbit from SunCountry Golf’s blog:

” Hello Sun Country Golf Fans! We are now onto the 2011 golf season and this marks the 3rd year of the new 18 holes. The grass grow in is now complete and the greens are fantastic and the fairways will be the best ever. The snow has finally disappeared and we are now officially open as of April 18th. Don’t miss the start of the season and be sure to take advantage of our new Early Bird Specials.”

If you are a golfer, this is a definite destination for you!  Only 90 minutes from downtown Seattle, SunCountry Golf  makes for a wonderful weekend getaway.

We absolutely enjoyed our time here.  After some golf, I prepared for the boys a very simple salad of red asparagus, lox and brie cheese.  Recipe follows shortly . . .

Well we did it.  Towed our Airstream into a meadow for some great photo opportunities.  For the entire week before our endeavor, I was very worried about the drive in —  but in the end, the Airstream bravely (and slowly) towed over gravely, potholed, bumpy, uneven road and ended up here:
