Gold Lake Resort
A YMCA camp? Yeah, really. I’m serious. Stop looking at me like that. Let me explain:
This resort used to be a YMCA camp.
Each cabin has been renovated to include log beds with feather tops, bathtubs carved out of rock, stained glass windows and the camp counselors have been removed for your enjoyment. Very cool.
As if that wasn’t cozy enough, just steps from your front door are rock hot tubs built into the side of the mountain with a view of Gold Lake. What could make this any more enjoyable? Some light snow, your man bringing you a hot cocoa by the fire that he built and then reading poetry to you. (OK so the poetry thing might be pushing it, but the rest sounds good right?) Oh, and don’t tell him that there are no TVs there, or be sure to go during a bye week.
Gold Lake Resort also boasts a Spa and Alice's Restaurant (awesome food)
It's ok if you want to sing...

OK, so you’ve gotten a little distracted by the wedding and it’s all you ever talk about. Your fiancé is trying to be good and pretend he cares. This morning make it up to him. Go to his apartment and make him the best breakfast ever and don’t talk about the wedding. A word to the wise: learn something about his favorite sports team and pretend you care. He will be ever attentive to you if you make what’s important to him, important to you.
Stop by the grocery store and get:
1 stick butter
½ dozen eggs
One of those tiny bags of flour
Vanilla extract
1 package strawberries (or your favorite fruit)
1 bag powdered sugar
This is the best souffle wanna-be/ pancake ever!
From Disney's Family Cookbook (A little kid focused but our favorite recipes; unique and easy.)
Puffed Pancake
Preheat Oven to 450 degrees
Place 3 Tablespoons butter in a pretty pie dish (or the only plan he’s got at his apartment, clean whatever that is off it first)
Place pan with butter in preheated oven until it bubbles (watch that it doesn’t burn)
Meanwhile, Whisk 3 eggs, 2/3 Cup milk, Sift in ¾ Cup Flour (ok he may not have a sifter- it just makes it fluffier)
Mix in ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Remove the pie pan from the oven (It’s Hot!) and pour in pancake mixture.
On a low shelf bake pancake for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile slice 1 cup strawberries (or your favorite fruit) and sift powdered sugar over it.
Cut into large slices and serve it with Sports Center.
