Absolutely Mouth Watering!

On Tuesday, April 10, 2018, the residents at The Commons spent the morning on Paraklay Way taking part in our weekly Cooking Creations program.  This week we baked cinnamon croissants.  First we started off making a delicious cinnamon butter that you can put on almost anything, but today we spread it on buttery croissants to bake.  Be prepared to smell the cinnamon in the air as they bake!   We encourage you to make this recipe, as our residents loved them and we know you will not be able to eat just one!
