Special Gift Offer

Okay all of you Foodie Fans out there, are you ready for something completely different from this site? 

No?  Me either, just kidding........ I have a contest for ya'll to check out.  I will be presenting a randomly chosen blog buddy to receive a $20 gift code for an online store called CSN Online. 

All I ask you to do is to click on this link after leaving me a comment that you have done so.  I will be checking with the store as I'm pretty sure  that they can track this kind of thing.  So if you leave me a comment that you clicked it and they say no, well, no entry.  I know ya'll wouldn't do that to the cowboy chef/poet, but just in case I thought I'd better put the warning in there.

So the place to go do some window shopping or real shopping is a place that has everything from pendant lighting to fantastic cookware.

Check it out, leave a comment here and get entered to receive a $20 gift code to be used at their online store.

Shiny! Funny enough, I'm actually looking for new lighting for my dining room right now, so I really appreciated the link. I may not necessarily buy from them, but I'm getting some great ideas.

Eggnog Pancakes

Eggnog Pancakes 1 1/2 cups eggnog 2 eggs 2 tbsp canola oil 1 tbsp vanilla extract 2 cups flour 2 tbsp baking powder 2 tbsp granulated sugar 1 tsp salt Beat eggs with whisk until fluffy.  Add eggnog and whisk together with eggs until frothy.  Add oil and vanilla and whisk together.  Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.  Add dry ingredients to wet and mix with wooden spoon just until no dry is showing.  Add to griddle on medium-low heat with spoon.  Turn after bubbles are popped in about 1/3 of the pancake.  Serve with butter and syrup. The kids absolutely loved these.  This is my adaptation of a traditional pancake recipe.  The vanilla is something I've always added.  Another option that I like to do to make it healthier for them is I substitue 1/2 cup of the flour with rolled oats
