<p>I was born and raised in Cadillac and while growing up here there was not much to do. You basically had like three options, go to the movies, bowling, or do an outdoor activity like swimming, hiking, taking out a four wheeler on the trails, fishing, skiing or snowboarding. You get the gist of it and a lot of people couldn&#8217;t afford the fancy outdoor toys including my family.</p>



<p>I spent a lot of time outdoors, hanging out with the neighbors and riding my bike. Thinking back on it, I now realize how few activities Cadillac had compared to the places I’ve lived since. It kind of makes me sad.</p>



<p>After a number of years away, I moved back last year and I&#8217;m rediscovering my hometown through fresh eyes and finding that there are so many things to do now compared to a decade ago. </p>

<div class="wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-layout-2 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex">
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Camping</h3>



<p>Cadillac offers great places to camp with a tent or camper, there are even cabin rentals on the lake! </p>



<p>Right between the lakes you have <a href="https://www2.dnr.state.mi.us/parksandtrails/details.aspx?id=474&amp;type=SPRK" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mitchell State Park</a> that offers many sites as well as some cabins. The benefit of staying at this one is you&#8217;re right between two lakes and across the street from <a href="https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/places/v-centers/carl-t" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carl T. Johnson Hunting &amp; Fishing Center</a>.  The center offers hiking trails and numerous events throughout the year. This summer you can take a <a href="https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/things-to-do/calendar/2025/07/12/fly-fishing-seminar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fly fishing</a> seminar in July. Be sure to check out the other numerous <a href="https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/things-to-do/calendar#g=44.250389|-85.3994346&amp;distance=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">activities</a> available this summer. Another benefit of staying at the state park is the accessibility to nearby restaurants, and most importantly, coffee. Also, downtown Cadillac is just on the other side of Lake Cadillac about 10 minutes drive away.</p>



<p>Another campground to check out on the lake is <a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/hmnf/recreation/camping-cabins/recarea/?recid=18860&amp;actid=29" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hemlock Campground</a>. I haven&#8217;t stayed at Hemlock, but I&#8217;m definitely curious to try it. It looks perfect for campers that like a bit more privacy.</p>

<div class="wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-layout-3 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex">
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Outdoor Activities </h3>



<p>One thing that hasn&#8217;t really changed, but has significantly improved is all the outdoor activities you can find in Cadillac year round. During the summer months you&#8217;ll find:</p>



<ul>
<li>Hiking</li>



<li>Fishing</li>



<li>Boating</li>



<li>ATV Trails  </li>



<li>Kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding</li>



<li>Disc golfing</li>



<li>Golfing</li>
</ul>



<p>The <a href="https://cadillacmichigan.com/project/orv-atv/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cadillac Area ATV trails</a> are ready to welcome you with updates way signs, 2 trailhead staging areas, and more than 100 miles of mapped scenic ride miles. Don&#8217;t have an ATV? No worries, there are a number of rental facilities to help you out.</p>



<p>For those that love biking, you&#8217;ll want to <a href="https://cadillacmichigan.com/explore/biking-trails/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ride the 200+ miles of multi-terrain trails</a>. There are trails for families, fat-tire biking, and road biking.</p>



<p>Our personal favorite outdoor activity is kayaking with camping coming in a close second. When I want to get out on the water I tend to drop our kayaks on the Big Manistee River. <a href="https://cadillacmichigan.com/project/paddling/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Local outfitters</a> can fit you with a kayak, canoe, and even a float tube if that is more your style.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Head Out To The Farm</h3>



<p>Growing up, I had cornfields, dairy farms, as well as berry and pumpkin patches. But over the years, things have changed, and now visiting a farm is an experience in itself. Here are a few spots to check out:</p>



<div class="wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-layout-6 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex">
<p><strong><a href="https://www.mimapleleaffarm.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Maple Leaf Farm &amp; Creamery</a> </strong>&#8211; Play with baby goats, attend a class, and most importantly, buy some delicious goat cheese.</p>

<p><strong>Backyard Blossoms Greenhouse</strong>: I just discovered this one this year through a facebook post. Located in Tustin just a few miles from US 131 this Amish run greenhouse is simply adorable. Flowers, garden plants and indoor plants are all available as well as other gardening needs. It&#8217;s worth a visit just for the vibe. 19418 220th Ave, Tustin. They are open seasonally Monday-Saturday from 10a-6p. On your way to the greenhouse do yourself a favor and stop at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/YodersofTustin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yoder&#8217;s of Tustin store</a>. Their bread and bakery items are top notch. Grab a sandwich if you are there around lunch time. You wont be disappointed.

<p>Once everything is blended to creamy perfection, pour it over ice and sprinkle some shredded coconut. It’s fruity, smooth, and just chill enough to make you forget about checking your phone for a while.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Summer is almost here, and we have a delicious <strong>lemon blueberry popsicles</strong> recipe for you to try!! I found this recipe to make my own popsicles at home and had to share. These look absolutely delicious and so easy to make.</p>



<p>You can buy a <a href="https://amzn.to/3Rplkxd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">popsicle mold on amazon.com </a>and make popsicles all year long. Hey, there&#8217;s no time frame on a delicious popsicle so if you want to make them in the middle of the winter there is no judgement here.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This would be a great recipe to make with the kids. Have them choose the fruit they&#8217;d like. They can measure and pour the items into the blender, push the button (I bet they&#8217;d like watching everything blend together) and help pour the fruit into the molds.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter"><a href="https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/lemonblueberrypopsicles.jpg"><img decoding="async" width="630" height="479" src="https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/lemonblueberrypopsicles.jpg" alt="lemon blueberry popsicles" class="wp-image-8479" srcset="https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/lemonblueberrypopsicles.jpg 630w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/lemonblueberrypopsicles-300x228.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /></a></figure></div>


<div></div>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">Image and recipe reprinted with permission from www.canadagirleatapaleo.com and HealthyApeture.com.</h6>



<div>You can use any fruit, but for this recipe we&#8217;ll be making lemon blueberry popsicles. As a rule we tend to use seasonal fruit or whatever we find in the freezer from previous fruit harvests.&nbsp;</div>



<div>&nbsp;</div>



<div>If it&#8217;s summer or fall and you have access to a local farmer&#8217;s market be sure to check for fruit that is in season.</div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">FRUIT and FRUIT COMBO POPSICLE IDEAS</h3>



<ul>
<li>Blueberry Raspberry</li>



<li>Vanilla Cherry</li>



<li>Strawberry Mango</li>



<li>Apple Cinnamon</li>



<li>Peach</li>



<li>Mango Chili</li>
</ul>



<p>For combos that include vanilla or a spice you&#8217;ll just have to measure with your heart. I haven&#8217;t tried all these combos, but my theory is, if it&#8217;s good as pie or ice cream its probably just as good as a popsicle.</p>



<p>Go wild, create your own unique flavors. Have each kid pick a fruit and toss them all together to see what happens.&nbsp;</p>



<div>As long as you keep the measurement to 1 cup of frozen fruit with additional added flavors (cinnamon, cardamon, vanilla, pepper, etc) you should be able to mix it up however you&#8217;d like.</div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lemon Blueberry Popsicles Recipe</h2>



<div>This recipe makes four popsicles.&nbsp;</div>



<div>
<h3>Lemon Blueberry Popsicles Ingredients</h3>
<ul>
<li>1 cup frozen blueberries</li>
<li>4 ice cubes</li>
<li>4 tbsp. coconut milk</li>
<li>3 tbsp. lemon juice</li>
<li>2 tbsp. honey</li>
</ul>
</div>



<div>
<h3>Lemon Blueberry Popsicles Directions</h3>
<ol>
<li>Blend all ingredients together in a blender. If it is too thick to blend or there is not enough to fill the cups completely, you can use a bit of cold water to level it out.</li>
<li>Pour or scoop blended mixture into popsicles and freeze until fully frozen, minimum 2 hours.</li>
<li>To remove from popsicle molds, run under hot water until they loosen up and pop out.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Eat immediately. They can stay frozen longer just leave them in the popsicle mold.</li>
</ol>
<p>The hardest part of this entire recipe is the waiting. Honestly, 2 hours is barely enough so the longer you can wait the better they should be. 12 hours would be awesome, but I totally understand that waiting that long isn&#8217;t always an option.</p>
<p>I mean, not to tell on myself or anything, but sometime the &#8220;popsicle&#8221; might be eaten straight out of the blender.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t judge. I just call it a really thick smoothie. Hey, whatever gets us through the day.&nbsp;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you entertaining overnight guests during the holidays? These sheet pan <strong>blueberry pancakes</strong> help you whip up a batch of berry cakes in no time at all.</p>
<p>The recipe calls for unsweetened almond milk, but if you can substitute with any type of milk you like. If I don&#8217;t have any almond milk on hand I&#8217;ll just use the regular milk that is in the fridge.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-39388" src="https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/SheetPanBerryPancakes_horizontal2.jpg" alt="sheet pan blueberry pancakes" width="730" height="487" srcset="https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads//SheetPanBerryPancakes_horizontal2.jpg 730w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads//SheetPanBerryPancakes_horizontal2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads//SheetPanBerryPancakes_horizontal2-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px" /></p>
<p>Of course, these are best served with warmed maple syrup. We are fortunate to have friends that tap their maple trees and gift us with this sweet gift.</p>
<p>Try to buy maple syrup from a local vendor instead of the store. Store bought maple syrup can have high fructose corn syrup and other additives tossed in. You&#8217;ll want the pure, straight from the tree syrup for the best flavors.</p>
<p>We also like to add some whipped topping to these blueberry pancakes. So. very. good. and great for a crowd.</p>

<h2>Sheet Pan Blueberry Pancakes</h2>

Cook time: 20-25 minutes<br />

<h3>Sheet Pan Blueberry Pancakes Ingredients</h3>
<p>2 T. mild-flavored extra virgin olive oil, divided<br />
½ large ripe banana<br />
1 c. rolled oats<br />
1¼ c. unsweetened almond milk<br />
1 T. pure maple syrup (+ more to serve)<br />
1½ t. baking powder<br />
1 t. pure vanilla extract<br />

In case you can&#8217;t tell I absolutely love strawberries and enjoy finding new ways to serve them. This one takes a bit of extra planning.

<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-8488 aligncenter" src="https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Strawberries-with-Lemon-Curd-www.thezestandzeal.jpg.jpg" alt="Strawberries with Lemon Curd" width="730" height="1095" srcset="https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Strawberries-with-Lemon-Curd-www.thezestandzeal.jpg.jpg 730w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Strawberries-with-Lemon-Curd-www.thezestandzeal.jpg-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Strawberries-with-Lemon-Curd-www.thezestandzeal.jpg-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Strawberries-with-Lemon-Curd-www.thezestandzeal.jpg-274x410.jpg 274w" sizes="(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px" /></p>
<h6 style="text-align: center;">Image and recipe reprinted with permission from https://www.foodfanatic.com and HealthyApeture.com</h6>
<p><strong>INGREDIENTS</strong> (serves 8)</p>
<p>2 pounds of organic strawberries, chopped<br />
1/2 cup maple syrup<br />
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice<br />
2 teaspoons lemon zest<br />
3 eggs<br />
1 can coconut milk (full fat)</p>
<p><strong>DIRECTIONS</strong> (to be made a day in advance)</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">Combine maple syrup, lemon juice, and lemon zest in the top part of a double broiler and place over direct heat.&nbsp;</span><span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">Heat, stirring until mixed well.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">Beat eggs with a fork.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">Add eggs to the lemon mixture and return to top of double broiler.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">Place over simmering water and cook until thickened.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">Cool on the countertop before placing in the refrigerator to chill overnight.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">Also, place a can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">The next day, open the can of coconut milk and scoop out the coconut fat. Pour the liquid into a container to use in a smoothie or in another recipe. Do not use the liquid in this recipe.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">With an electric mixer, mix the coconut fat until it resembles whipped cream.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">Add one cup of the whipped cream to your chilled lemon curd mixture and stir until well blended. Reserve whatever whipping cream remains for another use.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">Layer whipped lemon curd sauce with chopped strawberries.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Mmmm, doesn&#8217;t that sound so very good. I bet it would be tasty with blueberries or raspberries as well. So very good.</p>

<p>The ingredient list may look a little intimidating, but my guess is that most of these items will already be in the pantry. Our pantry has been pretty limited lately, but we still had most everything we needed.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dried dates and fresh blueberries were about the only thing we lacked.&nbsp; I love it when I can create recipes from items I already have at home.&nbsp;</p>

<h3 class="p2"><span class="s1">Blueberry Almond Granola Recipe Directions</span></h3>
<ol class="ol1">
<li class="li2"><span class="s1">Pre-heat oven to 375°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a <a href="https://amzn.to/2WIrXj0">Silpat</a>® baking mat. Set aside.<br />
</span></li>
<li class="li2"><span class="s1">In a <a href="https://amzn.to/34qNNdd">large mixing bowl</a>, whisk the melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined. Add the oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, dates, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are lightly coated in the butter mixture.<br />
</span></li>
<li class="li2"><span class="s1">Gently fold in one cup blueberries, and then transfer the mixture onto the prepared <a href="https://amzn.to/34w2Cvj">baking sheet</a>. Spread the granola into a thin, uniform layer.<br />
</span></li>
<li class="li2"><span class="s1">Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and give the granola a good stir. Return to oven and bake for another 10 minutes before stirring again. If necessary, return to oven for another 5 minutes or until the oats are golden brown. <strong>Do not overcook or the granola may become bitter.</strong><br />
</span></li>
<li class="li2"><span class="s1">Remove from oven and cool completely. The granola will become nice and crispy as it cools. Once cooled, serve with Greek yogurt and the remaining fresh blueberries.&nbsp;</span></li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am so ready for spring. It has been a really long winter and I&#8217;m eager for warm weather, thunderstorms, spring flowers, and more importantly fresh fruits and veggies. I don&#8217;t know why, but lemon and blueberry flavors always remind me of spring.</p>
<p>Now, blueberries wont be in season here until later this summer, but I&#8217;ve had pretty good luck recently finding nice berries at the grocery store.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/BLUEBERRY-LEMON-SPRING-TREATS-2.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-7173" src="https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/BLUEBERRY-LEMON-SPRING-TREATS-2.jpg" alt="Lemon Blueberry Spring Treats" width="400" height="600" srcset="https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/BLUEBERRY-LEMON-SPRING-TREATS-2.jpg 400w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/BLUEBERRY-LEMON-SPRING-TREATS-2-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></a></p>
<p>These look so pretty to serve and are so incredibly easy to make. These are my favorite kinds of desserts. Easy to make and pretty to look at.</p>

<p>If you have unexpected company and need a quick dessert this is the one to make. Seriously, you can have it done in about 5 minutes.<br />

<h3>INGREDIENTS NEEDED:</h3>
<p>Phyllo cups (found in the frozen section with the phyllo dough)<br />
Prepared lemon pudding<br />
Blueberries<br />
Powdered Sugar</p>
<h3>Directions To Make The Lemon Blueberry Spring Treats:</h3>
<p>Put a dollop of lemon pudding in the phyllo cup, top with blueberries and sprinkle with powdered sugar.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it. Done.</p>
<p>Really, does dessert get any easier. It&#8217;s almost homemade and looks so pretty to present to your guests.<br />

What I love about this recipe is that it is so easy to switch up in so many different ways. You can change the filling or change the berries. You could even change both.</p>
<p>Love chocolate? Put some dark chocolate pudding in the cup and top with raspberries.</p>
<p>How about a cheesecake filling with chocolate drizzle and a beautiful red strawberry on top.</p>
<p>There are so many different varieties of ways that you could serve this dessert. I love that its very flexible and you can really use what you have on hand as long as you have the phyllo cups. Always a good idea to have a box of phyllo cup in the freezer.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll never know when unexpected company will stop by.</p>
