I heart Organic!

Tonight, I did one of my favorite things EVER! Go to Trader Joes and buy organic!!! Something about buying Organic, and I know some of it is mental, but I JUST adore it, I feel better about myself. Michael doesn't understand why in the world I adore organic... I try and explain to him, like I know what I'm talking about in order to encourage him to buy the food I put in the cart...
I tell him things like " They aren't grown with the pesticides that cause cancer" " It makes you feel better!"

I really try.
but I did make it out of there with $33 with mostly organic products with I am very pleased with!


Enjoy your Wednesday night and buy organic!

Saturday Morning harvest festival breakfast with my pa!

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions :
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and oil.

Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture all at once and stir just until smooth (don’t overmix).

Let batter sit for a full 15 mins. to allow the flour time to absorb moisture from the liquid.

Pour batter onto hot griddle.

The batter is VERY thick and will need to be spread out into a circle quickly using the back of a spoon.

Turn when bubbles form on top of pancakes and cook until second side is golden brown. Makes about 6 pancakes.


*Note: These really come out thick and fluffy! If you want the batter to spread a little easier, you can increase the buttermilk to 1 C. and they will still come out good. Recipe is easily doubled or tripled (I haven't tried it more times than that).*



AND!

Pumpkin Spiced Latte


INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
3 cups hot whole milk
4 teaspoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS
