it's been a while...

Too much to catch up on at the moment, but I have a new venture in the making...check out Yartsy.com for a taste of what I have been creating in my spare moments! And pass it on if you know anyone who would like a custom hat or two ;) Thanks everyone!

The annual Easter Egg Hunt!

Thankfully Easter is not just about bunnies and chocolate...here's to the love of family and friends, and the FREEDOM we have through Jesus!

Have a very blessed Easter everyone!

Ebleskivers

Beautiful, fluffy danish pancake balls, one morning in March! An ode to Mrs. Thomson, my landlord from university days, who first introduced me to these. I found the pan at a garage sale. The instructions on the recipe say to use a knitting needle to turn the little balls (hee hee). Eat them warm with jam, like we did!

Mrs T's Ebleskivers

2 cups buttermilk
2 cups flour
2 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp sugar
4 Tbsp melted butter

Separate egga & beat whites until stiff. Mix all ingredients together until smooth, lastly folding in egg whites. Heat pan to medium heat & put 1 tsp oil in each cup (yah, that's why they're so good, little fried pancake/doughnuts;) Add 2 tsp batter in each cup. Cook 1 min, then turn with a knitting needle to cook the other side. If you have any left, freeze and reheat in the oven (but you probably won't!)
