Egg Nog Pan Cakes

What an delightful treat to eat during Christmas break!!! I tried egg nog pan cakes that I got the recipe off the back of a carton of good old egg nog up here in Edmonton. And it was so smooth and creamy and yummy!!! All you do is add 2 more eggs and a cup of flour a teaspoon of vanilla mix it all up and there it is! EGG NOG PAN CAKES!!! Yummy. Definitely something I would never would have thought of on my own account.  The best thing to have on Christmas morning for a nice break fast. And to top it off a nice glass of egg nog too!!! Hope you try it out and enjoy it too!!

Peanut Butter Balls

It is that time of year when you indulge and break your dieting for sake of goodies. I just made the best first batch of peanut butter balls and I did awesome for my first try. I will take a picture later on upload it. Although it was a mess and I am not one for getting sticky hands and such so I won't be making these so often. Or maybe I just might because my husband loves them so much! Here is the method on how to make them. So to start here is what you will need for ingredients: 2 Cups of Rice Crispies, 1 Cup of icing sugar, 1/4 cup of margarine, 1 Cup Peanut Butter, 1/2 Cup Coconut & 2 Bags of Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips.

First mix together in a bowl your rice crispies, peanut butter, coconut and icing sugar. Mix really well. (Another way to do this is melt peanut butter in sauce pan and then pour it over top the ingredients and them stir together, then chill in fridge for a bit).  Once your mix in the bowl is all incorporated well all through out then make into at least inch size balls. (As your making balls take your margarine and put into a pot and melt it then once melted dump chocolate chips in until melted as well then turn dial to 1.

Then to dip take tooth picks and dip balls into chocolate onto a cookie sheet layered with parchment paper and let sit in freezer for a bit to get chocolate hardened.

Tips: One good ingredient for balls especially for Christmas balls add to chocolate a little bit of peppermint or mint extract.

Crawling Kid

Aaliyah is not 10 months old. She has been crawling for at least 3 weeks now. I am not getting much done around the house now especially since now she knows she can crawl she does not want to be inside her exersaucer or her high chair, she wants to crawl. So I am always forever watching her more than I am able to get anything done around the house. I'd give anything to live in a house with out stairs, so I wouldn't have to worry about her falling down stairs or climb up them with possibly falling as well. I am happy that she is crawling for sure, but not when I have to run after her when she hits the corner near the down stairs basement. She makes me so nervous, now that she is older too she does not sleep as often as she did when she was new born. She has 1 nap a day now. I'd love for her to sleep more often so I could get things done around here.  I still love her lots for sure. Just wish I had some more time to get things done.

Alrighty, it is official. I have made a fan page for my upcoming poetry book. It is so fun and exciting. I have all my poems pretty much copy righted and all that official stuff that needs to be done. Would like to say sorry for not being on here enough to be blogging. Between being a stay at home mom and wife and trying to keep house and doing stuff with regards to my book I do not get a chance to be on here much. It is more of a privilege for me to get a chance on here. I love being on here, but everything I have going on right now is so very time consuming. So anyways sorry to cut this blog short, but I do have to go, but before I leave here is the link for my fan page: http://www.facebook.com/AshleySMorin

Review of Breaking Dawn

My husband took me to see the movie today, YAY!  On another note, I was disappointed in the movie in some ways. I did like it, but I just do not like that lack of scenes put in the movie from the book, it seems as though a lot of scenes were made up to fit the movie better. I am really sad to not have watched the movie and be excited to see some of the scenes from the book on screen. Although the scenes that were made up were good, but just was not Breaking Dawn.  On a more positive note. I cried at the beginning when they get married. I wasn't sure why. I thought it was because people cry at weddings, but then I got thinking, every wedding I have been to, I have never cried at any of them. So I think it is just the fact that there are no more books written for the series and no more movies series and after all the parts of Breaking Dawn are filmed that there will be no more twilight series. I really like the books. I am sad to see it come to an end, although not quite to an end yet until the last part of Breaking Dawn is filmed and in theaters. It is just a really sad thing. Maybe I am just an old sap when it comes to this kind of stuff, but that is just me I guess. I really have come to love Jacob more as he matured through out the years of filming. I did not like him at first. I thought he was a nerd in twilight, then new moon he looked better, then was an ass for not being there when Bella needed her most, but then I realized he was as hurt as Bella was when she lead him on and then BAM, because Edwards wants to be a wimp and kill himself she leaves him, when there were obvious feelings going on still between her and Jacob that were left undealt with. I understand why he is so mad at Edward and also at Bella for choosing to want to be a vampire. But now that Bella had that baby, he wins he imprinted on their baby.  It's a win win., Bella can stop feeling bad for making Jacob hurt for wanting him always around when it hurts him to see her with Edward.
