pancake is ready to flip!

No one was hungry for supper last night so I decided to make myself some pancakes. And no, not from a box mix, homemade pancakes are super simple and so much better!

Get the game day party started with Tyson Any’Tizers! #tysonanytizers

Tyson Any'tizers

I'm going to admit this right up front, I could care less about watching football, or any sport for that matter, on the tube.

Cake is often on the list of good luck foods to eat on New Year's day, yes most specify that it should be round cake but to me; cake is cake is cake.

The first month or so after Christmas usually ends up being pretty lean times around here. This year is no exception, even though we didn't go overboard with the gifts. That means I haven't been grocery shopping as much as I would like and the fridge is getting a little bit boring. To cheer us up, … [Read More...]
