They were putting the Christmas candy up in the grocery store today. Already! However, I was happy that all the holiday baking things were on sale. Raisins (which Steve eats more of than a household of toddlers) and pecans were on sale, as well as cinnamon and vanilla, all of which we go through really fast because it seems like every recipe we like uses them!
I made the Chicken Spaghetti Squash "Pizza", which turned out well, and as expected tasted better the second day. We added more tomato sauce than it called for when we warmed it up, and it tasted even better after that!
We also made these Pumpkin Banana Spice cookies, which were really good! We added cacao chips to half the batch.
Steve made banana pancakes this morning with two bananas, 3 eggs, 1/8 tea. baking soda, and 1 tea. cinnamon. They were ok - more like banana than pancakes, but filling for breakfast. They said cook 2 minutes a side, and it took much longer than that! If we make them again, I think putting the bananas in the food processor with make them more liquid and less chunky, which might work better. As everyone says, they aren't REALLY pancakes, but they might kind of give you the IDEA of pancakes (especially if you serve them with bacon!)
Right now I am making the crock pot chicken soup again - this time with carrots, broccoli, potatoes, zucchini, and an extra can of diced tomatoes. I aso put "apple buttered sweet potatoes" in the crock pot.
2 large sweet potatoes, cut in chunks
3 apples, sliced
1 C apple butter (we just got ours at the farmers market - nothing but apple, cinnamon and cloves!)
1 C coconut milk
1 1/2 tea. pumpkin pie spice
Cook 6-8 hours on low.
It's going to be DELICIOUS. Maybe with some pecans on top!
