Pancakes

I can't believe I've been blogging for about a year and have yet to post a true breakfast recipe!  I am definitely a breakfast person.  Most mornings, I don't think I'd get out of bed if it were not the allure of breakfast calling me out from under my warm and cozy blankets.   Not to mention the fact I'd be a shaky, cranky mess come noon if breakfast weren't part of my day.  So I've never been able to understand the people who don't eat breakfast.  So for all you non breakfast people out there, if you had this stack of pancakes to wake up to, you'd probably hop out of bed a little quicker now wouldn't you?  What if I told you whipping up a stack was a cinch and takes hardly any time at all? 

Pancakes are so easy and quick, they are really idiot proof.   If you can mix, you can make these.  I like to assemble the dry ingredients the night before so that all I have to do is add the wet ingredients, mix and cook.  This batch makes about 12 pancakes.  I like to make the whole batch on a weekend and freeze the leftover pancakes to eat for the rest of the week.  All you need to do to to have them during the week is take out of the freezer and pop in the toaster (I sometimes put it through twice to heat it up all the way through) and voila!  Pancakes for the week!  Getting up has never been so easy!

Pancakes

1 3/4 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons cooking oil

In a large bowl, stir flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.  In a medium bowl, beat egg slightly; stir in milk and oil.  Add egg mixture to flour mixture all at once.  Stir until slightly lumpy.  Pour onto a lightly greased pan.  (I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to make the pancakes uniform size.)  Turn when pancakes start to bubble.

Letters to Bunny

Wow.  I didn't think I would ever be writing these letters, but I am so happy I am!  When I was pregnant with your big brother, we called him Pumpkin when he was in my belly and now I have started calling you Bunny, so that is why I call these, Letters to Bunny.  I didn't think I'd be writing these letters because it took almost 5 very long years to have you!  Now that you are here, I'm still in disbelief, but so happy I get to be a mom all over again!  Thank God! Being a mom is something I wanted to be my whole life.  When we had your big brother, Nate, it was the happiest time!  I knew right away that I wanted to have another baby.  Unfortunately, it wasn't so easy for me to get pregnant.  I didn't understand why.  We did lots of things to try to have a baby.  I went to many doctors, took many tests and x-rays, and after awhile of doing all these things, I kind of lost hope that I would ever be able to have another baby...

Citrus Cookies

In my promise to bake more to perfect my baking skills (or to hone the lack thereof), I have taken to baking citrus cookies.  The first recipe came in my January Everyday Food magazine for Lemon Icebox Cookies.  I made these probably a month ago, they lasted a couple of days and I have to admit, every night I go into the kitchen wanting something...and it's those cookies.  Tonight, Joe was gone which means I don't have to make dinner.  But I still wanted to do something in the kitchen, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to bake. Of course the first thing that came to mind was those lemon cookies.  Problem was, I had an overabundance of limes.  I considered using the same recipe and substituting lime for the lemon, but visions of powdered sugar lime meltaways danced in my head so I hopped on the trusty laptop and found a Martha Stewart recipe for Lime Meltaways.  My inadaptness at baking really shined through tonight.  I di...

Autumn Lovin'

Yes, I realize that we are almost half way through September and I have yet to publish a post for this month.  My apologies.  To make up for it, I have a double post of good fall recipes for you.  Here you go: Fall. I love it for so many reasons. The first reason being how everything outside is so beautiful. Trees are dressed in brilliant shades of warm colors. I love the crisp air. I love pulling out the sweaters and jeans. I love tailgating. There are so many wonderful things about fall, I haven’t even gotten to the food yet! I absolutely love fall foods. Low and slow stews, caramel apples, mulled cider, warm donuts…I could go on but I’m afraid I’d drool all over the keyboard.  What do you love most about fall? Game Day Cookies So here are the ingredients: first cool weather of the year, first weekend of college football and your husband is hosting a poker party. What does that add up to? Baking of course. I decided that those ingredients were the pe...
