Some days turn into kitchen days…
I think I like those best!!! We got home yesterday morning from a camping/house-sitting
extravaganza and I spent most the rest of the day on and off in the kitchen…
Buttermilk Pancakes are my new most favorite pancakes. I didn't measure too much, but the rough recipe is at the end of this post… And as we were out of maple syrup and happen to have a dabbling of blackberries and strawberries ripening, I made a berry jam to pour over them...
I guess jam was in the air, because before it was even mid-morning our neighbor reached over the fence to handed us three bags of small early peaches; saying "they aren't big, but they would make a good pie…"And although I do love peach pie, these peaches plumish size shouted peach butter far louder than peach pie...
Later I had potato pizza on my mind, and decided to give it a go…
I used the potatoes to make a white sauce instead of a typical pizza style sauce…
I also used green onions, lime and Romano cheese...
It was good, but could have had a little more bite to it.
So I dumped fresh minced garlic and chard on mine to help fill out the flavor...
Lastly, my dear sweetie-pie and I made a batch of thumb print cookies...
She is such an amazing help these days… especially in the kitchen;
it's like having another adult at work...
A fun excited adult, full of ideas...
Anyway, it was a cooking day… and a cookie day… I love days like that.
Hope you all had a nice weekend!
