Pear Pancakes

Happy Fall yall! I can’t believe Fall is here. I love this time of the year when the weather starts turning cooler (but not too cold) and the leaves start to change. I also LOVE the Fall fruits and vegetables. I got my first Acorn squash at co-op  this weekend! Today I have a fun Fall fruit item for ya.

I know its been some time since I’ve posted. A lot has been going on in my neck of the woods. Kyle proposed 2 weeks ago and we’ve been planning planning planning!377658_10151006594236179_1987364812_n

So far it’s been fun but there has already been some bumps in the road. I want to enjoy this time and not worry about the small stuff. I have to keep reminding myself that. Kyle and I have been together for 4 years so it’s been a long time coming for us. We couldn’t be happier about planning our wedding. Yes, Kyle has been helping too. He really does like to help pick out the details and have opinions about different things. I’m thankful that he wants to be involved in the process.

Ok, so back to the food. The other week I picked up some pears at the Locally grown co-op. I wanted to try something fun to incorporate them into a meal. So I decided on pancakes! I’m so glad I did.

I started by chopping up a pear into bite size pieces.

I then sautéed them in a teaspoon of butter and added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar.

I sautéed them until they were nice and soft.

I added them to my normal pancake batter.

I heated up the pan and cooked them till done.

They ended up being thicker than normal due to the pears.

Yum, these are so delish!

How do you incorporate Fall fruits and vegetables into your diet?

Day 1–Have a Headache Already

Happy New Year to everyone! Day 1 of the detox started today. It’s been pretty tough,I’m not gonna lie. I went to Whole Foods and Walmart yesterday to get all the fruits and vegetables I needed for the week. I’ve had a headache all day due to the lack of caffeine. I really don’t drink but maybe a cup and a half of coffee and a glass of tea a day. But I sure did miss it today. This morning I got up to help in the nursery at church. I made the Antioxidant smoothie. You can find the recipe here . It was really good, a little tart but not bad. When I got to the church I got a cup of unsweetened green tea (no caffeine) so I could convince myself it was a cup of coffee. The tea and smoothie held me over till about 11:30. I made a nice little salad for lunch with water with of couple apples thrown in. My salad had spinach, avocado, cucumbers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and pumpkin seeds dressed with balsamic vinaigrette I did get pretty hungry this afternoon so I made the roasted chi...

Vanilla Bean Almond Butter

I don’t know about you but I LOVE nut butters. I have never made my own because I didn’t realize out easy it was. I’m telling ya, everyone can make nut butter as long as you have a decent food processor and there's not turning back. I’ve had some left over vanilla beans from the vanilla I made a while back and wanted to use them, so I decided to use them in the almond butter. I made this about a week ago and it’s already half gone! It’s like a yummy creamy dessert. Once you try fresh pure nut butters you will never go back to store bought. Only 3 ingredients and no added oils! So here it goes: Start out by toasting your almonds until they start to smell yummy. Pour your almonds in the food processer and start to process. You will need to process for 8 to 10 minutes and stop several times to scrape down the sides, so be patient. Stage 1 Stage 2- Powder Stage 3-The natural oil starts to come out and its starts to ball up. Stage 4-Almost there, just a f...

2011 AR Cornbread Festival

Saturday was the 2011 Arkansas Cornbread Festival in Little Rock. I entered the competition thinking it would be a fun activity to participate in; I had no idea how big of a festival it was going to be. The number of attendents kept increasing which made me more nervous as the competition neared.  The last count I had heard was 1000 people and  I thought, how am I’m going to fix enough cornbread for that many people?  I knew that they would only be getting a 2 oz sample cup but still, that's a lot of people. I spent Friday afternoon and evening baking cornbread. They suggested that we make 4 13x9 in square inch pans worth of cornbread, I ended up shooting for 5 just to be safe.  My cornbread was called Citrus Corny Cornbread. It originated from my mom’s corny cornbread recipe that I grew up on but I put a little twist on it by adding orange juice, orange zest, and cream cheese. After 3 trips to Walmart and o...
