Morning Sweetheart ~

Hope you all had a lovely day!

We started our day off with pancakes, our Sunday morning ritual, but of course on this special day I had to make them heart shaped! And we had faux mimosas ~ O.J. with Sparkling Cider garnished with a strawberry

I'm a big fan of The Wilson Farm

Here's the very best Pancake Recipe ever, from their cookbook ~

Using a whisk, beat together; 1 egg, 1 cup milk, 3 tablespoons melted butter

Sift together 1-1/2 cups flour, 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3 tablespoons sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon

Stir the dry ingredients into the liquid until moistened

Heat frying pan over med-high heat, butter lightly, and cook pancakes, turning once after bubbles form on top.

Optional: 1-1/4 cups peeled, chopped apple (1 large)
or other fruit & up to 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Serve with warm maple syrup ~ yum!

Sure to make everyone feel loved ♥

A Bountiful Trip ~

I think this blog should be called "On a Whim," because that's pretty much how I operate!

Big Girl and I decided to skip out of town for an overnight trip to visit the Big Guy. He works for an antique auction house, and there was an auction. I got a table, but now that I'm home it's not going to work where I had hoped - too high

On the way home we punched in the address to The Wilson Farm, and Linda (hubby's GPS) got us right there ~ I love her! What a great invention

I have been making all kinds of delicious things from their cookbook forever, but have never visited the farm. By the way, the cookbook is excellent!

Everything was displayed so beautifully, so I had to take pictures (we were not camera ready after sleeping on couches in Big Guys bachelor pad.)

Peonies bundles in every hue of pink

Pickled everything in Ball jars

And berries ~ yum!

We came home with lots of yummie treats, and we will definitely be back soon! My little local farm down the street will get me by until I can visit again
