Pumpkin Pancakes

The obsession continues! 
Pumpkin this and pumpkin that, Id even eat pumpkin with a bat! 

Well when I start rhyming like Dr. Seuss its probably time to just post a recipe, sooooo...shall we?

My friend julie has been begging me for this recipe for a week now. 
I originally had planned to post it last week right after i made them for everyone, but between prepping for halloween festivities & taking a much needed trip to Santa Cruz for my sons 16th birthday things got crazy. 

So here ya go Julie! Recipe time! 

Once again i feel the need to remind you all im not big for measuring things. I am an eyeball & see what works kind of cook so i will be adapting my own recipe to the general pancake mix recipe for you all to follow but i prefer a little thicker batter so get creative if you are a rebel like me hehe. 

So after you have the batter to your liking follow these steps and make sure to adjust to your own preference. I love pumpkin flavor so this is a very strong pumpkiny flavor. 

2 Heaping Cups of pumpkin (not pie filling) 
1 Cup brown sugar
1 Tsp pumpkin pie filling

Whisk all ingredients into pancake mix until smooth 

I like to make big pancakes so i use the 1 cup to drizzle batter into hot buttered pan & then some. 

Each side takes about 1 1/2 - 2 minutes 

I hope you all enjoy them as much as we did and as always please leave feedback or questions if you would like.

Keeping a Pumpkin Plant

My oldest daughter Harmony brought home a pumpkin plant from school last week (Open House) and I got very excited!
1. Because My sister in law had planted some pumpkins when she lived in this house and I regret pulling them up when we moved here 
2.Fall is my favorite time of year! 
3. Ive been wanting to make pumpkin pie like my great grandmother made. 

Here lies my problem. I know nothing about caring for them, and this includes when and how much to water them. So I've been googling away like mad for tips to keep these baby's alive. Have any tips for me? Share em! I'd be greatly obliged. Do you have a green thumb? Share your pics and you could be featured in a future blog post!
