I came up with this recipe when I was on my way to a potluck and wanted something sweet and special
but didn't have a lot of time.
A blessing way is a traditional Navajo ceremony which honors the pregnant woman's right of passage into motherhood. Like a baby shower is for to honor and celebrate the coming child, the blessing way is a time to honor and celebrate the mother. This ceremony usually done when the mother is close to giving birth she is showered with loving touch, good food, soothing music, and sacred gifts.
