So I’m looking into purchasing an e-reader for my upcoming birthday. I do love the feel of a book in my hands, but I’ve got to keep up with the times, people! And as you know, I heart technology.
Now I need your advice! I’ve done a fair amount of researching and asking around, but can’t decide if there is one that is better than the other.
PLEASE HELP!
Do you have an e-reader?
Which one do you have and would you recommend it?!
Oh, gosh. I just uploaded these pictures to my computer and all I can think is…
When can I go back?!???
True love in a weekend.
Hi friends! This week’s link-up brought to you from the beautiful waters of Skaneateles, NY. I am always amazed by how beautiful it is at sunset and we were there late afternoon into the evening to enjoy the view. The weather was perfect, cool and refreshing, with the sun supplying warmth for our skin.
We ate clams and lobsters, hot dogs and hamburgers, and enough sides to last us for days. My mom made a shrimp pasta salad and her famous artichoke dip. There was also a good amount of chips and Helluva Good (which I can never say no to!). This was truly the close of summer for me, and I’m glad I got to spend it at my favorite place on earth. It’s weekends like these I wish Boston were closer to home, but luckily a car ride away gets us there when we need it to.
How are you spending your last few weekends of summer?
Next weekend I’m headed down to North Carolina for a visit with my best friends from home. Our lives have scattered us all over the country so we’re hopping on planes and heading to Charlotte for a reunion (on my birthday to make it extra sweet!). We’ll have smiles and lots of laughs, and hopefully some more warm weather to hold onto before fall rolls in. This week needs to go by fast, I can’t wait to get there!!
Linking up with a {little} dash of ash!
These pancakes are GOOD.
These pancakes are daaaaaang good.
My mom made these this weekend while we were home visiting the ‘Cuse. They are super easy to make and your taste buds will thank you. I couldn’t be more in love with raspberries as a fruit, so it’s safe to say these might be my favorite type of pancakes to date. Of course I’m also partial to chocolate, so my mom’s chocolate chip pancakes are also among my favorite and most dreamed of choices for breakfast.
Here’s the recipe for these beauties…
Cottage Cheeses Pancakes with Raspberry Maple Syrup
Ingredients:
1 cup cottage cheese (large curd)
4 eggs
1/2 cup flour
6 Tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp sugar
Raspberry Mapple Syrup:
1 cup Vermont Maple Syrup
2/3 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (we always use fresh!)
2 Tbsp raspberry jam
Directions:
1. Whip cottage cheese in KitchenAid or similar mixture. Add the flour and eggs and start the mixer again. With mixer on, add melted butter. This should be a thick batter.
2. Test a small amount of batter on grill. Add a small amount of flour if it needs thickening.
3. Cook pancakes until golden, then flip and cook for an additional minute. Do not overcook. These pancakes are moist and should spring back to the touch.
4. For the raspberry maple syrup: Combine ingredients in a non-stick saucepan. Hear on low until raspberries defrost- stirring occasionally. Stir in the jam which helps the syrup mixture thicken. Heat until the syrup boils, then turn off the heat and let sit. Syrup is ready to spoon over pancakes after the mixture has set for a few minutes allowing it to thicken.
ENJOY! They’re amazing!
