To make pancake art just empty out an old ketchup or condiment container and fill with batter. No mess. Or, fill a zip lock bag with batter and cut a very small hole for more delicate designs.

Beavertails

In anticipation of Winterlude I wanted to do a post about how to make beaver tails. I began the project with a recipe in mind but then I thought of how much more fun it would be if I simplified things so my daughter could make them with me. And so we invented "The Pillsbury Beaver Tail" I'll include the original recipe I tried in the post but I actually enjoyed the Pillsbury beaver tail much more.

The Pillsbury Beaver Tail

It doesn't get any simpler then this, and that is way it was so much fun to make with my 4yr old daughter.

Ingredients

1 Pkg Pillsbury Country Biscuits

 vegetable oil (for frying)

1/2 Cup sugar

1 tbs cinnamon

1) Buy some Pillsbury country biscuits.

2) Heat up about 1/2" of oil in a pan and mix cinnamon and sugar in small bowl.

3) Take all 10 dough circle out of the package and using a rolling pin, flatten them as thin as possible into a beaver tail (oval).

4)  Place dough in oil two at a time turning once. They only require a few seconds per side to cook or until golden brown so keep a close eye on them.

5)Remove from oil and place on paper towel.

6) Sprinkle both sides with cinnamon and sugar mixture and enjoy!

 Cinnamon and sugar is a wonderful way to enjoy a beaver tail but some other toppings you might enjoy are:

 Maple butter

Nutella

Bananas 

Apples

Strawberries                                    

                                            Scratch Beaver Tail       -       Pillsbury Beaver Tail      

                                                          

Here is the recipe I used to make the first beaver tail from scratch.

Valentines Day Food Frenzy

Here is a little gem I want to share with you about making food "fun". Go out and buy some cookie cutters!!!  I'll touch on this point later though in another post.

For now, lets check out some of my favourite Valentines day themed treats for kids and loved ones alike. Everyone needs to feel special sometimes, and if that means twisting your child/partners bacon into a heart before you bake it, well now they know how you really feel :)

The Paper Mama

Try this with cukes, or zucchini, etc...

One Charming Party

 Cute Food For Kids

 Spoonful 

Life In Wonderland

Made With Love By Me

AND....

Use marble for heart shaped cupcakes.

Poppies At Play

Use package of Pillsbury Grands Homestyle Biscuits, spoon on pie filling, bake according to package.

Cooking On The Side

I would probably make mine as a heart pop and cover them completely in chocolate. I'm not a huge rice crispie treat fan but something magical happens when you cover them in chocolate. 

 You can't go wrong with chocolate strawberries!

Enjoy:)

February Football Food!

Hello everyone! Lets start February off with a few of my favorite crowd pleasing appetizer and meal ideas in the spirit of football. I linked all of these to their source, but I will admit that I rarely follow the recipe. I use these as a guide line but I like to simplify most of them unless it will sacrifice taste. Don't Forget your classic main staples like chili, pulled pork, and pizza.
Enjoy :)
