baking and such

Friday night we had dinner by the Christmas tree and watched Curious George, A Very Monkey Christmas. I am a huge Curious George fan myself so I actually sat down and watched too. During the movie Little Tuck decided to scoot, reach, and thrust himself over to the tree to check things out.

For dinner we made Eggnog Pancakes which were DELICIOUS! I wanted to share the recipe so others can make these delectable treats. 

Eggnog Pancakes

1 1/2 c. flour

1 T. sugar

2 1/2 t. baking powder

1 c. eggnog

1/2 c. milk

2 T. butter

1 egg

1/8 t. cinnamon

1/8 t. nutmeg

Mix dry ingredients (I sifted them all together). Mix wet ingredients and stir them into the dry ingredients. If batter is too thick, add milk/eggnog until desired consistency. Pour warm syrup on and eat 'em up!

We had a lazy Saturday and stayed in our p.j.'s almost all day. It was very delightful I must say. Grey and I decided to bake some cookies. 

Matthew put in his request for Potato Chip Cookies. These were a favorite in my house growing up and now Matthew is a huge fan! They are super delicious and I wanted to share that recipe as well.

Potato Chip Cookies

1 c. butter

1/2 c. sugar

1 t. vanilla

1/2 c. crushed potato chips (i use plain ruffles or lays)

1/2 c. chopped pecans

2 c. flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter, sugar, and vanilla. Add crushed potato chips and pecans. Stir in flour. Form into balls using 1 Tablespoon each. Place on ungreased cookie sheets and press flat with the bottom of a tumbler dipped in sugar. Bake for 16-18 minutes. (Make sure you keep your eye on them because they brown fairly quickly depending on how thin you make them).

Enjoy! Grey sure did.
