Pumpkin Pancakes

Original recipe found here.

This recipe was requested by my sister.  I found the recipe online and gave it a try.  The pumpkin pancakes were amazing.  I am not a big fan of pancakes, they don't have great flavor.  Pumpkin pancakes are a lot different.  They have a very subtle pancake flavor, but nothing that is overpowering.  I definitely recommend these pancakes.  I made my dough the night before and refrigerated.

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

3 tablespoons brown sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground all spice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups milk

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 egg

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoons vinegar

In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt, stir into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Breakfast Egg & Sausage Casserole

This is a breakfast, or dinner dish that my mom has made in the past.  It is one of my favorites.  I substitute the sausage with ground turkey, and the eggs with egg substitute.

Ingredients:

4 slices white bread, cubed

1 lb sausage or ground turkey

1 tomato, chopped

1 bunch of green onion chopped

12 eggs, beaten

1 cup shredded cheese, use any cheese you would like

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt & Pepper to taste

Mix together all ingredients and put into a 9 x 13'' pan, sprayed with non stick cooking spray.  Refrigerate overnight.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake for an hour or until firm.
