One year ago

We traveled to Baltimore to celebrate a birthday just how children would.

I made this card to celebrate our anniversary this year.

Face in the Sky

I found this face on I-25 heading down to New Mexico.

Gingerbread Spice Dutch Baby

I tried another wonderfully simple recipe from The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook:

Ingredients:

2 large eggs
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon molasses
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground ginger
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of fresh grated nutmeg
Pinch of salt
1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Maple syrup, serving
Powdered sugar, serving 

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the eggs in a blender and blend until smooth and pale in color. Add the brown sugar, molasses, flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, salt, and milk and blend until smooth.

Melt the butter in a 9-inch ovenproof skillet over high heat, swirling it up the sides to evenly coat the pan. Pour the batter into the skillet and transfer to the oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pancake is puffed up. Remove from the oven, dust with powdered sugar, and drizzle with maple syrup.
