Break Time!

LOVING the fact that we get a week off for Thanksgiving! The crazy thing is that I somehow have managed to plan a lot more stuff than I originally thought. If I do actually get all the things done that I need to, it wont be much of a break, but whatever.

We are having Thanksgiving dinner with two families here in Rexburg. The Kingstons and the Stevesons. Both families have kids so we should be sufficiently entertained for the day. I'm sad we won't be seeing any family for the holiday so I called and got recipes for my favorite dishes and am planning on making them, and making a LOT so I can have loads of leftovers! SO EXCITED!

Thought these were funny enough to share. . .

Welp, time for bed. Looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow and not going outside if I can help it! It snowed a TON and as always, is super cold and windy.

So I have posted about German Pancakes before, but not German Pancakes with BUTTERMILK SYRUP! I found the recipe here. I have had buttermilk syrup only one other time in my life, and I loved it then too! Never having made the stuff before, I will issue one warning: It gets super bubbly and frothy as you boil it, so make it in a LARGER saucepan. I only have one (One day I'll graduate to a nice set of pots and pans, when I'm nicer, more mature, etc) smaller saucepan, not sure the proper measurements, but after it boiled over just a couple times, I had the most delicious syrup and even some left over to have on waffles tomorrow!

Now this isn't the healthiest of syrups as it calls for a cube of butter and almost a cup of buttermilk, but its delicious and oh so worth it.
