Yesterday, I had the honor of being Darren's mom, Kay's, escort to go through the Jordan River Temple. My husband, Darren, did her brother, Don's, work at the same time. What an exciting day!We spent the weekend at our cabin since the kids didn't have school on Monday or Tuesday. Our neighbors, the Baum's came up with their family and we had a great time playing the Great Dalmuti, snowmobiling, watching the Olympics and eatting! Rachel is a fabulous cook - except when it comes to microwave popcorn, but that's
another story!
I put her in charge of breakfast because we were hoping she would make us her famous, "French Toast Casserole," but instead she made pumpkin pie pancakes with apple cider syrup and they were sooo..... good! She said she got this recipe from another one of our neighbors, Julie Peterson, but I give her the credit for this recipe because she was the one who made it for me!
Pumpkin Pie Pancakes
Combine 2C. flour, 1t. cinnamon, 1/8t. nutmeg, 1 1/2C. canned pumpkin, 1C. milk (or more to thin,) 1/2t. vanilla, 4t. baking powder, 1/8r. cinnamon, 1/8t. nutmeg, 3/4C. sugar, 3 eggs and 3/4C. oil. Then pour onto a hot griddle. Rachel had us put a spoonful of whipping cream on top and then pour warm Apple Cider Syrup over the top. Yummy!!
Apple Cider Syrup
Combine 1/2C. sugar, 1T. pumpkin pie spice, 1C. apple juice or cider, 1t. lemon juice, 1/4C. butter.
To top this off, Rachel made us the BEST tortilla soup I have ever had for lunch! She can come to the cabin anytime and cook for me ....as long as she doesn't put the snowmobile helmets so close to the raging fire.... again, this is another story for another time! She said she got this recipe from another one of our neighbors, Raelynn McCormick who got it from another neighbor, Holly Jones - but they didn't make it for me, so Rachel gets the credit!
Tortilla Soup
Boil 2C. chicken and then shred and put into a large pan. Saute 1 chopped onion and 3 cloves of garlic, then add this to the chicken. Add 3 - 14 oz. cans of chicken broth, 2 cans tomato soup, 1/2C. green salsa, 1 lime juiced, 1 can of corn - drained, 1 can black beans - drained, and 1 bunch of cilantro - chopped. Heat throughly and serve with tortilla chips and a sprinkle of cheese.
While Rachel was making this recipe I watched her put a lime in the microwave for about 10 seconds. I just had to ask, "What in the world are you doing?" because I had never seen anyone cook a lime. She told me it makes it easier to get the juice from a lime if you microwave it for a few seconds. Sure enough, after she cut the lime in half and started squeezing it, the juice just flowed from the lime. Thanks for the tip Rachel!
I'm so excited to have these new recipes to add to my collection of "Fast and Easy Recipes." We are having a barn dance in the big blue barn tonight for a bunch of the youth from our church, so I will be spending my day sweeping dirt, scooping poop and setting hay bales out for the party!
