German Pancakes with Blueberries!

This was our delicious breakfast this morning!  I had to share this easy peasy recipe with you!

Ready for the simplest recipe ever?

Put 1/4 c. butter into a glass 9x13 pan and turn on oven to 400 degrees.  Put the pan in the oven so that the butter melts.  Then mix together the following:

1 c. flour

1 c. milk

6 eggs

Pour into the pan and bake for 20-25 mins or until golden!

Serve with fresh or frozen fruit, syrup and powdered sugar for the most delicious breakfast ever!!!

Where's Waldo???

 Here is my littlest one as WALDO!  I saw a picture of an adult Waldo costume and thought, hey I bet I could make that for my almost 2 year old!!  So I whipped up a hat with beige fleece and added red ribbing around the edge.  For the little poof on the top I cut strips of red felt and sewed them on.  He already had a white long sleeve shirt so I just added some red duct tape to it to make stripes.  I ran out while making it so I need to get some more and finish around his arms and around the back.  His glasses used to be pink so I colored them with black marker and since he is almost two he decided to rip the glasses apart so we had to improvise with some elastic which is actually better because they stay on!!

GOTTA LOVE HOMEMADE CHEAP COSTUMES!

Halloween Decor.......

Here is most of my interior Halloween decor!  I had fun putting it all together this year!  Most of the items are things I have made over the years or things I have picked up at stores for up to 90% off!  (Thank you Pier 1)  Halloween is so much fun and I think I have rubbed off a little onto my children!  They love to come home and see what the house looks like!  They also love to come home to the smells of pumpkin breads, zucchini breads and various cookies that seem to get baked year after year!  I LOVE IT! 

Hope you are having fun decorating too!!

Excited for Fall!

 HAPPY FALL....well, in a week!!

Wanted to share some things with you today!  Isn't this a fun wreath?  It is a wreath my sister made for me a couple of years ago.... But today I added some fall-ness to it so I added the little pumpkins I picked up at Walmart and some left over orange ribbon I had laying around.  I love the simplicity of it, perfect for my black door!

So yesterday I told you I had a freezer meal day with 4 friends.... it was AWESOME!!!!  I ended up with 9 meals!  I found this great blog that has many different freezer to crock pot recipes that ALL sounded so DELISH!!!  But I only chose 3 to start with.  We did the roast with veggies and can I just say it looks gorgeous in the bag!!!  (Sorry no photos...camera died and I had to get the bags into the freezer!!) we also did the brown sugar chicken which when put together smelled so good!  And last we made the turkey, apple, cheddar meatballs which also look scrumptious!!  Go to her blog and look at all the recipes she has! Can't wait to try more!!

Just want to say that I am so excited for this new season of FALL!!  I also look forward to blogging once again :)

Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches!!

Hi!!  So after a 6 month break I am back!  Today 4 of my friends got together and did freezer meals and freezer treats!!  We made these ice cream sandwiches!  They are simple to make......... Store bought cookies, some ice cream and any topping of your choice!  So I say they are homemade because I put them together but they are made with store bought items :)  My kids will walk in the door from school and INHALE these!  These are perfect for the last little bit of warm weather before the fall....well, actually they are good anytime!!  I will post about our freezer meals tomorrow!
