Out of all things......Foot Powder!

So my husband has bugged me for over 2weeks for some more of my nice foot powder. With The holidays behind me I can now concentrate better on what needs to be done around here. New schedule at work also has me very busy. Tonight he reminded me once again! So here it is. I made it with cornstarch, baking soda, eucalyptus, peppermint and tea tree doTerra Essential oils. Ready to see if it is going to work well for him since I made it a little different. I like making stuff like this and what's even better it is all natural. Until next time my friends. Blessings!  

Nummy Pumpkin Pancakes

Happy Saturday! So many things going on in this wild brain of mine. Fall is here and I am one excited girl about it (bet you couldn't tell with all the exclamation points right?) After all it is my favorite season! And what better way to begin it with something pumpkin, hello! I got these just right and at this point I am not tweaking anything about their moist, sweet, perfect goodness! Well I am sure by now you are wondering how I made these lovely beauties, that please the eye as well as the tummy, so here goes the recipe. I'm kind of a simple gal so if you have questions for me, just ask. I am here to help you if need be. Now I am not an expert but I have worked enough in the kitchen, read a lot and just love to play in my kitchen. Sooooo....without further a due, I present to you.........pumpkin pancakes.

 The Pumpkin Pancakes :D

 

You will need: 

1 c. flour

3 T. sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

2/3 c. milk (a little more if the batter seems to thick)

1 egg

2 T. unsalted butter (melted) or canola oil

1/4 c. pumpkin purée 

In a large bowl place the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and spice.

In a medium bowl blend well milk, egg, butter/oil, and pumpkin.

Mix wet mixture with dry ingredients. Do not over blend. 

Place spoonfuls of batter on pre-heated griddle.

* Make about a dozen 4" to 5"  inch pancakes.

Enjoy them with creamy butter, maple syrup or agave, chopped pecans and some whip cream if you would like. 

Trader Joe's maple/agave blend is excellent on them but use sparingly because it is super rich. Raw pecans are also great of them. I buy mine at Trader Joe's as well. And I must recommend my favorite whip cream by Land O' Lakes. It makes these super yummy and pleases my tummy. 

That's it! Easy peasy and well worth the work. So no more salivating, get to work! 

Until next time, have a great day beautiful peeps! 

The lovely outdoors just got better!

An outdoor bedroom? I knew at some point I would achieve this but since we have lived in this historical home it encourages me to do more things like this. To explore with space. To let my mind visualize and create in and with my surroundings. What blessings my Father has bestowed upon me! How great is thy love for me. He gives the desires of our hearts, truly! So I will take this and use it for His glory. To love, dream and bathe in His goodness! 

He and She Creations

My hubby and I have become quite the team in the kitchen. This is a gourmet version of, what I knew as a girl as migas. We sautéd sweet bell peppers, onion and zucchini. We then crisped up some white corn tortillas on low heat to perfection. Beat some eggs with a little milk, salt and pepper. They all became one and was it the best topped with pepper jack and mild cheddar cheese. We'll be making these again!! 

Simple

Sometimes in life there are moments that we have to be silent. It's better that way! Like Thumpers mom said on Bambi "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all." She was right about that. Practice listening today! Be blessed!! 

Sunday pleasures

Breakfast is served! Yummy Belgian waffles with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. All my hubby kept saying in between bites was "Mmmm.....". Today is a day to enjoy family. Praise together, pray together, eat together and laugh together. That is what is going to happen here today!! Blessings! 

Saturday morn

Staying in bed and indulging this greatness from cover to cover.   Nothing pending, so might as well!! :)
