Pumpkin Pancakes.

I had a great sleep last night and woke up refreshed and ready to take on this day determined to be super productive.
Last year Iowa Girl Eats made some pumpkin pancakes that were pretty divine. However, her recipe used a whole wheat pancake mix, and unfortunately I didn't have that on hand this morning. I love my mom's pancake recipe more than anything (even Swedish pancakes) so I wanted to incorporate the two. Folks... this is an Erica Carlson original recipe and it is delicious. I do not have to give credit to any other blog for these puppies! I am feeling pretty proud right now :)
 I ate all 4 of these...
 I love having coffee while cooking breakfast... gives you that extra boost


 phew! perfection.
 so fluffy, pumpkiny, cinnamony and delicious!

Pumpkin Pancakes
Recipe from the kitchen of ERICA!
Makes 8 pancakes

3/4 C Flour
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 Tblsp sugar
1 tsp apple pie spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
MIX then add:
1 Tbls oil
1 egg white
1/2 C skim milk+ 1/2 T vinager (let sit for a min to make buttermilk)
1/4 C pumpkin puree

YUM! Say hello to fall... 

My family loves pancakes. My favorite Sunday's would be the ones where after church we would have breakfast for lunch. My mom would mix up the batter, get the sausage ready and make a fruit salad. As soon as we would hear the garage door (signaling my dad home from closing up the church) my mom would start the griddle. There was always so much anticipation waiting for the pancakes to be done. Today I am grateful that we ate as a family everyday. Life is built around the table. Phones are away and there is no where to hide. 
My mom is in Utah on a girls trip this weekend and my dad LOVES pumpkin pancakes. Dad, I wish you were sitting around the table enjoying these with me.

Dan and Pam +

 One of our favorite weeks of summer came and went: When Dan and Pam visit. This means lots of family time at Big C. Everything is a game and there are lots of laughs-- never ending fun. It always goes by so fast and it’s sad to see them go.  This year we did something super different and took a 24 hour trip to show off Duluth to Pam. J is the best trip planner and when she sent me the itinerary I knew it was going to be a good time.  Here we are in our little hostel room. I slept like a rock thanks to half a sleeping pill. Seriously. I slept over 9 hours and didn’t even wake up to go to the bathroom!  Found just a couple rocks to skip 😂  Here we are at split rock lighthouse. We were too cheap to go into the actual park and get the tour so we listened to a podcast on the way home instead haha  The fog hadn't burned off yet and it made for the most beautiful backdrop.  Perhaps the highlight for me: burrata and wine on the rocks of gooseberry falls. We ...

Wolfpack.

We had a good day with these lifetime friends of mine. PHS class of ‘04.  Linds is so good at getting everyone together. She planned this whole day and then everyone took the day off work/ got kids out of activities and sports and made the effort to see one another.  Friendship of 35 years is a true gift. I feel like these girls watched me grow up. From playing boxcar children in the basement to jr high shenanigans/ all the trips to Treasure Island to studying abroad together in Italy to visiting each others first homes/ attending weddings /welcoming in motherhood and most recently keeping up on Marco Polo I am thankful for these gals.     Recreating a picture from 7 yrs ago 😂  As we were saying our goodbyes we looked down and BURST into laughter. Must be a 40 yr old thing.  Memories upon memories with this crew.  xo. edc.

goodbye summer 2026

I headed back to BHP today after what may have been the best summer ever. If you would have asked me a week ago if I was ready to go back I would have said no, but I think God does a good job of preparing our hearts for big changes if we allow him to, and I truly felt prepared walking into school today.  My classroom has a ways to go to be ready to welcome in students to meet the teacher night on Wednesday-- but I know I'll get there.  Routine is good, and I packed my lunch last night, laid out my clothes and after work today headed to the grocery before grilling up some chicken for dinner. I needed something to remind me that I love feeding my family well, being somewhat organized and nights at home after a day away. Here are some summer lasts: Mornings on the front porch with coffee + 1 kid + a game?!?!? THE BEST Also a LOT of Rummikub lately a Friday morning of cinnamon chip scones might be the best way to start the day family bike ride on the Brown's Creek Trail 12 miles w...
