Eggnog Pancakes


These pancakes make me feel fancy.



Eggnog Pancakes
Recipe from Joy the Baker
Makes enough for two

1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3 Tablespoons butter melted until browned
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk

The Best Bread


I have a new favorite bread recipe. This bread is super easy to make and only has four ingredients. I had to make sure I planned ahead since there's a lot of rising that needs to happen with this bread. The actual hands-on process is very easy and not nearly as time consuming as all the rising that takes place with this bread. This bread is simple and satisfying and is sure to leave your guests impressed. Seriously, I don't think I've made a better bread. It is a very nice, simple, white bread that is great with a nice southern dinner or just to snack on during the day. I would suggest planning on giving one of the loaves away since this recipe makes two. Yes, I think you could eat both loaves. Yes, I think I could eat both loaves. But we both know we should share and not indulge too much.

Fruit Salad

This post is mainly to show off the nice camera on my new phone. This salad was very light and didn't make me feel weighed down like those cake batter cinnamon rolls did the other day. I used the 'vintage' setting on my camera to give the pictures that nice...vintage look. I think it's a nice change.
