Pancakes!


Well the end of the year is upon us and that means holiday season is coming to an end. I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season filled with lots of love and joy! As our family celebrates Christmas, this past week and weekend were full of baking and cooking and didn't leave me much time to get a recipe together to share with you all. The kids are also home from school for winter break and my trusty go-to for hot breakfast they love are pancakes, so I decided this would be perfect to share with you all. This recipe originally came from my dad, who made pancakes almost every weekend when I was little. I have played around with it a bit, like I do with every recipe, but I have found my little adjustments make the fluffiest and tastiest pancakes out there. The kids love them so much they have requested them for school functions and I have made over 100 at a time to fulfill the requests! Make this the next time would want a hot, easy breakfast and your family will be asking for it for years to come!

What's cooking in my kitchen this week:
Pancakes

What you'll need:
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
3 Tbsp oil
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

How to make it:
In a large bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and sugar.


Add milk, eggs, oil, and vanilla and whisk until smooth with no lumps.



Let pancake batter rest for about 10 minutes. Heat pan on medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, spray with non-stick spray and pour batter using 1/4 cup measuring cup.


Once pancakes have bubbles on the entire  top and edge looks solid, flip and cook other side about 2-3 minutes more.


Continue until all pancake batter is gone.


Makes about 16 pancakes. Serve with syrup and enjoy!

Octodogs!

Image
This past weekend we were down a couple kiddos for various reasons and were left with mainly our youngest ones. A favorite dinner for them growing up has been octodogs and while reflecting that we almost don't have any little kiddos anymore, I decided that I should make this dinner one last time before they completely grow out of it. What I love about this meal is that it is quick, healthy, and full of fun for the kids! If you have picky eaters who don't like veggies, this is an easy way to get them to eat those veggies that we moms like to make sure every dinner gets. Because this dinner is so easy to make, you can get the kids involved with making it, which makes it that much more special to them. Make this the next time you are looking for a kid-friendly and fun meal to make and they will be sure to love it! What's cooking in my kitchen this week: Octodogs What you'll need: 2 packages hotdogs 1 (16 oz) box small shell noodles 2 (12 oz) jar Alfredo sauce 1

New Kitchen!

This last week was super busy for us as it was official move day! As with any move, things went smoothly and then there were things that didn't go according to plan, but we are now in our new house! The lack of sleep and sore muscles are totally worth it. Have to get back to the unpacking now, but as promised last week, I have pictures of my new kitchen to share. I'll be back next with with recipes to share! Breakfast bar and island. Where all the cooking is gonna happen. Our front door and pretty flowers that greet you! Sunset from our deck. Did you know? On this day in 1868 Kit Carson, American frontiersman, died.  His last words were supposedly "Wish I had time for just one more bowl of chili."

Sunday dinner

Image
Ask my kids what's for dinner on Sunday night and they'll all tell you "Green Chile Casserole" as this is almost always what dinner is. This is for a couple different reasons. The first being it feeds us all with leftovers, second it only has seven main ingredients, and lastly, due to the few ingredients, it is under $25. Any time I can get dinner for about $3 per person, this is a huge win for my food budget! This recipe also happens to be near and dear to my heart as it has been in my family for three generations. It also is quick and easy so with all the craziness of Sunday nights getting ready for the week, I can still make a good, home-cooked meal. Hope you and your family enjoy this as much as we do!  What's cooking in my kitchen this week : Green Chile Casserole What you'll need : 2 lbs ground beef 1 package corn tortillas 2 cans medium green chile enchilada sauce (1 can 28 oz/ 1 can 19 oz) 1 can (16 oz) green chile & lime refried b
