Harvest Pancakes!

I was feeling a bit O' Fall in the air and came up with these tasty bits that leave you feeling warm, full, and NOT ready to crash out on the couch the rest of the day...

We start with a cup of Krusteaz (made extra soupy to allow addition of other dry ingredients) : 

   

A handful of chopped up blue berries, black berries, pumpkin seeds, and rye flakes(or oats):

A dash of cinnamon and served with turkey bacon and eggs (and home made whip cream): 

TA-DONE!

Short bread cookies!!!

I found a lovely short bread recipe:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup salted butter
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
And you bake it for 35-40 minutes at 275 degrees "until lightly golden". This makes 4 dozen cookies.

The results were great, and nothing burned! ;) 

Lobster Mushrooms

 

As I was out looking for lobster mushrooms the other day...

 I took a few pictures so that even if I didn't find any mushrooms,

 I wouldn't come back empty handed from my hike. 

 (I have no idea what this is)

(Funny looking bee fly)

(Old mossy stump without a single mushroom in sight)

(Thistle)

 

                      With no mushrooms in sight I plan to go in search of them again later this week (possibly in a slightly more remote neck of the woods...), I will share my spoils (In the form of pictures) with everyone as soon as I can get my hands on some... :3  

Happy Wednesday!!!

Berry Picking

I went berry picking last month in Sedona with my boyfriend and a good friend. These kinds of excursions always produce fun memories and lovely pictures:
