Well, we're in Montana
And much like the rest of the Northern states
We are COVERED in snow!
It's gorgeous
and now I can much appreciate it,
as we are finally here!
We drove this year
from Los Angeles
and only 2 hours north of L.A.
we began to hit snow!!
Here are cactus in their winterwonderland:
And since we're here in our warm home
watching it snow ALL DAY
(literally! It's not supposed to stop ALL DAY!)
I thought I'd try Inga and Kelley's Choco-Mint Cookies.
They are a hit!
Everyone is thoroughly enjoying!
Thanks for the recipe, Kelley!
When we stopped in Utah to have breakfast with friends
on our way home, I received a precious lil' gift
from William Sonoma! Looky Looky!
It was a Rudolph, Santa and Frosty pancake mold pack!
They're so cute!
And we made EGG NOG pancakes...
Quite yum!
We got the recipe from a coffee table book:
Southern Living: Christmas Cookbook
Eggnog Pancakes
Prep: 15 min Cook: 10 min.
1 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
1 1/2 c. refridgerated eggnog
1 large egg, beaten
1 Tbsp. veg. oil
Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl.
Combine eggnog, eggs, and oil in another bowl;
add to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Pour about 1/3 c. batter for each pancake.
Cook pancakes like you do any other pancakes!
Anyway...
They really were good! We each only ate one- as I used about 2/3 c.
to make them big enough to fill the Christmas molds.
With a touch of maple syrup they were fantastic!
Alrighty...
Well I'm off to eat a cookie
and see if I can help with prep for the coming festivities.
