Panpakes.

I know, recipes can be a blogging buzz kill, especially if no one actually makes them, haha. But you honestly need to try these pancakes. Easily the best tasting, fluffiest things ever. They are BEST with butter and strawberry syrup, or nutella and strawberry syrup.
Please do try these.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• cooking spray

• Directions

1. Combine milk with vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to "sour".
2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk egg and butter into "soured" milk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side

Enjoy!
(and yes... i meant to write panpakes... not pancakes.)

Sunday Delish-dish!

Recently I've been in LOVE with cooking a lot each Sunday. Last Sunday we made a really good roast, with mashed potatoes and rhodes rolls! YUM!
Today, we used a recipe from my friends blog!

Marinated Rosemary Chicken

1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 Tbsp. olive oil
4 cloves of garlic, minced
4 Tbsp. dried rosemary (we only did 3 Tbsp and there was still a LOT)
1 3-lb. broiler/fryer chicken, remove skin and cut up

The recipe calls for you to marinate it over night and grill it afterwards. But we just thawed the chicken, dunked it in the marinade, poured some of the marinade on it and cooked it in a pan. We cooked it for about 30 mins at 350 degrees. Half way through, Shane took off the foil and poured the rest of the marinade on. 

In the end it was DELICIOUS! We devoured this with more mashed potatoes (i love those things), and more Rhodes rolls (i also LOVE those). Along with some strawberry jello to add color because I could not think of anything else haha!

So :) try it out! Its reeeeeeeeeeeally nice!

Here is a pictoral. (from a phone, you can tell.)

Plus I had rootbeer for the first time in a long time and WOW!... It hurts my nose!

My roommate made them a few times, and I devoured them.
Here you go:
FUDGE
-16 oz Choco Chips
- 1 can Sweet Condensed Milk
- 2 tsp. Vanilla
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Combine in a sauce pan, melt.

COOKIE
-1 c. shortening
-2 c. brown sugar
-2 eggs
-1 tsp. vanilla
-1 1/2 c. flour

Mix together.

Save 2 cups of cookie mix, press the rest into a cookie sheet. Pour fudge over top. Then crumble the remaining cookie dough on top.
Bake @ 350 for 15 mins.
You will die of happiness!
I'm off to make this right now! Bye!

Peppers, Crafts, Windows, and Fishies

Hello all.

I was able to get a picture of my cardiscarf!
A sly sly cardigan is hidden in that scarf!

Also I want to tell you about Valentines Day! Shane and I woke up and decided to skip class for the day. So we slept more and woke up and made crepes. It was so fun any yummy :D. Then we made our way over to Petsmart to buy our fishies! We now own 1 frog (febby) and 3 fish (jorge, mulder, and scully). We had our other frog die and our snail. But life moves on right? Haha. Then after work we went out to Le Nonne (a very nice Italian Restaurant!) It was such a fun and nice day!
Then my birthday was on Wednesday! Shane was so nice and got me lots of cute stuff! I wanted an old window from an antique store that I can fix up and make a cool craft idea I had, along with sandpaper, paint all that stuff in order to fix it up. He got me a very vintage wire bodice coat hanger! It sounds weird but its way cute haha! See!

We are going to plan our future home decor around this beauty!
I am so lucky to have Shaney. He is so cute and patient and so so so funny! I love him :)
Then after a long day of FUN, I chose to go to Firehouse Pizza for dinner, and when Shane and I walked in I was greeted to my SURPRISE party!!!! WOO! I've never had a surprise party in my entire life!!! It was so fun! Jaime, Peter, Andrea, Tina, Nicole, Megan and Chels were there! So we ate delicious pizza, cake and fazookies! Sooooo yummy! See! Shane's the best :) it was a fun fun birthday. Now I'm officially 20 years old!

As far as crafting goes, I'm proud to announce that I am getting very far along in a lot of my crafts! First, my window! Under the old old paint, there was this weird layer of plastic type stuff. It makes it hard for the paint to stay on the corners of the windows, but I've done all I can do. It'll end up looking good :)

My beard pillow plan is coming along nicely :). It takes a long time to make each "hair" but its coming along and soon I will start working on the girl's hair (my hair). Next step after that, sewing them onto pillow cases!

The other night Jaime and Peter came over and we made dinner for them! They usually make it for us (they are so nice haha poor guys) so it was fun to have them over! We made Stuffed Green Peppers!

I'm pretty sure everyone liked them :D, except Shane. He took a couple bites of "not quite cooked all the way" beef, and I didnt tell him of its status. So he had a tummy ache for a while. BUT he got better! :D

Thanks to Shane's friend Branigan, we have discovered more good music! The Tallest Man on Earth! Its pretty cool :) I like his voice live more however. So if you want click here and listen to one of my favorites.

Well I'm off to watch Jurassic Park with Shaney :)
Farewell all!

Adios :)

Here are the cute little cupcakes before baking! Mandy got the little cups for me at my bridal shower! They are so cute!

 Here they are after baking and icing and sprinkling :D

OKAY! Here are the "hair do-eys!" The top one is for little people, like younger than 5 or something.

 And the one on the left if for older people! I'm planning on connecting them to headbands, slip combs, and clips! These are my first two, so there are a few things sticking out randomly which I will fix. But they came out so well! I am seriously so happy! My pillows arent coming along as nicely, but these made my day haha.

 And here is my dear hubby face :) very tired, right before we came to Subway cause I was craving a rootbeer (its 1 in the morning). What a kind sir he is!

I was going to post pictures of the kindergarten birthday party, but I dont know if its legal to put pictures of the kids up, so I'll find out haha!
Well goodnight! I need to let my husbando get some sleep :) BYE!
