Dark Chocolate Banana Almond Pancakes-Yum!

I just love pancakes! You can add whatever you like to the old basic
pancake recipe and it's usually fantastic. This combo was particularly
great-
To the basic pancake batter I added 1/3 cup almond meal. While each
pancake cooked I sprinkled a little chopped chocolate & added the
bananas before serving with real maple syrup. Let me know your fav
pancake add ins!

More catching up- Easter Sunday Sweeties

Is this guy posing or what?! So cute :) We had a wonderful morning at church and then had a quick egg hunt at home before going to the Hamilton's for lunch.

This is Julia and Gabe in the nursing room at church. Julia and Gabe share the same birthday! She is so cute and her mom and I have had fun chatting on Sundays since we seem to have them on the same schedule as well!

Weston really enjoyed his first egg hunt and caught on quickly- especially when he realized there was candy in the eggs!

Discovering his special basket

Gabe loved his little duck from Omie :)

More from NC

Weston enjoyed playing in the beautiful backyard and especially the trampoline!

Kurt and Julie were so sweet and sent us on a little trip watching Weston for most of the day, to Blowing Rock- an adorable town that was fun to walk thru and take in the beautiful sights. The drive there was also amazing and we enjoyed being able to have time and quiet to talk :)

Back in Business!

We have internet as of this morning! yay! posts and pics coming soon :)

Happy half-birthday Gabe!

This little guy is such a treasure! So sweet & smiley all the time.
He's a joy to be around- we celebrate your little life and the amazing
6 months we have had with you so far!

Cashew Chicken Salad

We don't have Internet set up here at the new house so North Carolina
& Easter pics will have to wait- so here's a yummy salad we had a
couple weeks ago!

1head romaine finely chopped
3 cooked chicken breasts chopped
1 cup each toasted cashews, mandarin oranges, & sliced cucumber
Sprinkle with black sesame seeds for fun & dress with ur fav dressing :)

I used the "goddess" dressing from Trader Joes ( don't like the name
of the dressing) but it was super yummy with these flavors!
