Alabama Game

This weekend Matt an I went to the Alabama vs. Western Carolina game. We went with our good friends April and Nathan! We had so much fun and it was the perfect weather! We started off our morning at Rama Jama's(where i may or may not have had a chocolate milkshake with my breakfast!) and then ended our long day at Dreamland! I also got to see 2 very special people Paige, one of my Pledge Sisters and really close friends! As well as Lauren, a girl I lived with in the Yellow House, sophomore year! We also ran into one o our campers, Hank, who was being escorted onto the field with Brody Croyle. did we take a picture with Brody, nope! only with Hank! While we were in Tuscaloosa I realized how much I missed the town and all the fun things to do. I told Matt that we have got to be better about going to Tuscaloosa to do things! After being in Bryant Denny he decided that we have to buy season tickets/ go to every home game next year! We shall see! All in all it was a great weekend spent with awesome friends! And I can't forget those two huge losses that Oregon and Kansas State produced to help us regain control of our own destiny! Roll Everyone is what I say to Baylor and Stanfod!!

Pumpkin Pancakes

I saw this recipe on a friend's blog the other day and since I LOVE all things pumpkin I made them! They were so awesome I have made these twice already!

Pumpkin Pancakes
Prep Time: 8 minutes
Yields: 12 (4 inch) pancakes

1 cup all-purpose flour(I used self-rising the second time around and try we're much fluffier!)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice(I just shake the container 3-4 times)
2 large eggs(originally you have to separate the eggs but mine were plenty fluffy w/o beating the egg whites.)
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup pumpkin
1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions:
Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture.
Combine eggs, milk, pumpkin and butter; add to flour mixture, stirring until incorporated.(If you separated the eggs fold the egg whites in here)
Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto a hot, lightly greased griddle. Cool pancakes until tips are covered in bubbles and edges look cooked; turn an cook other side.

I will tell you that these are not sweet! There is only 1 tbsp of sugar. I was skeptical of the taste at first but once I added syrup I was in LOVE! If you love pumpkin you will love these pancakes! This is the 3rd recipe in the month of October that I made with pumpkin: pancakes, muffins, and oatmeal!
