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. 

Angels Yam CakeBake

Happy 7th Birthday to the baby of the bunch! My Angel girl (that's her nick and middle name) turned 7 today and being low on funds and energy I decided to do a cake that was as unique as my youngest child. And man, this is some unique stuff I'm about to share! I can almost guarantee that this probably has never been done before (my twisted little mind is a plethora of unique) and while it may sound as odd as a duck wearing a raincoat, I can assure you it tastes FANTASTIC! 

1 can Princella Yams
1/2 Bag of Angel Food Cake
Molasses
Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
4 tbs Butter/Margarine
2 tsps Flour or Corn starch

Preheat oven to 350°

In cake pan empty can of yams & distribute evenly across pan (mostly drained)

Drizzle molasses and condensed milk over yams until all of them have a drizzle.

Combine butter, brown sugar, cinnamon , and flour until creamy smooth and then spread over yams.

Place in oven and bake for 10 min. Take pan out and fold angel food cake mix into yams. Place in oven again and bake until mix rises and is golden brown.

Please excuse the angel food white mess around the pan , i am not known for my neatness.

Crockpot Sweet Pineapple Brown Sugar Pork Chops

Happy Sunday everyone!

Hope your weekend has been good to ya.

Matt & I spent some quality time perusing recipes this weekend for my crockpot.

He is a picky eater but trying to eat better recently.

So hes opening up his palate (so to speak) to foods he may or may not have tried, and may or may not have liked before.

Case in point. Pork!

I found this little gem over at Momswhothink.com (check it out, Its a great site!)

 Im not a big fan of Teriyaki sauce anymore so I did tweak her recipe a bit .

My tweaked version is below.

Ok enough chit chat...Heres the good stuff!

Original Recipe is here

http://www.momswhothink.com/crock-pot-recipes/sweet-pineapple-brown-sugar-pork-chops.html

Ingredients:

6 boneless pork chops

1 large can pineapple slices (including juice)

1 bottle of Hoisin Garlic Sauce

3 Tablespoons dark brown sugar

Directions:

1. Place all 6 pork chops in your crockpot.

Pour the hoisin sauce, pineapple slices with juice, and brown sugar on top.

2. Cook on low 6 hours and serve over rice.

I used the leftover juice from the crockpot to boil the rice in and OMG ....It was sooooo flavorful!
