Dutch Babies

When we go to the Original Pancake House we always order Dutch Babies…oh so yummy. And then my brother (aka my brother in law Kyle) got a recipe to make them. Number 1 they are better than the pancake house, and Number 2 MUCH CHEAPER!

Dutch Babies Recipe:

1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
dash of nutmeg
dash of cinnamon

MIX very well.

While you are mixing your batter preheat your oven to 400 and put 2 Tablespoons of butter in a pie pan. Once the butter is melted put your batter in the pan and cook for 15 minutes. They should rise pretty big. Once you take them out of the oven sprinkle with powdered sugar and lemon juice. We also put strawberries and syrup on ours.

You can split the above batter into 2 pie pans, but we like ours a little thicker and taller so we use that recipe for just one pie pan.

I took the kids to see Kung Fu Panda yesterday. It was SO good. I highly recommend it. Lots of good lessons for kids to hear throughout the movie. And it was funny. I laughed quite a bit. Today I think we are going to go see Wall-E. We will see how our day goes.

My oldest came home from camp yesterday. He was so ready to be home. He was SOOOO tired. It made my heart happy to hear him talk about the alter calls and the time in prayer that they spent. It had a great impact on him. He came home with some things that make his mouth light up. I think I am going to have to try them out!

We still have not found a puppy yet that we want. But we are looking. We talked to a breeder at Tony’s work. I need to do some more research Australian Cattle Dogs. But they seem to be good dogs. Who knows what we will end up with.

Here is my Ben. Yesterday in the store we were holding hands and he said “mom do you know why I am so special?
, and I said no ben why are you so special, “because you are my mom” He could have asked for anything at that point. Totally melted my heart.

And this little girl. She always makes me smile. She always says thank you for things, and please, and I love you mommy. Seriously can it get any better than that! She is my little princess.
