I love the Fall

As I've grown older and more mature, I have discovered that my favorite season of the year has changed and matured as well. Growing up I loved summers, I loved going to the pool, swimming, grilling burgers and enjoying ice cream and popsicles. Now that I'm a bit older and wiser, I know that summer is full of dangers, the heat, the sun (skin cancer) and over charred foods. I love the Fall now. I love when the cool air is just cold enough to require a blanket but not so cold it takes me an hour to warm up in bed. I love the "snuggling" weather of the Fall, just before it gets so cold I don't want to get out of bed in the morning. I love pumpkin spice lattes, hot cocoa and hot apple cider time. I enjoy picking out my own pumpking at Bates Nut Farm and carving them with my family. I love making home made chex mix and eating it right out of the oven on a cold or rainy day. I love that it is the soup time of the year. This is the time of the year when I want to bake, even though I am really bad at it. Its a time for arts and crafts, sewing, scrapbooking and making holiday gifts for our loved ones.

So tell me my few and far between followers... what is your favorite thing to cook up on a rainy day? or what would you like me to try my hand at and post for you?

Banana Peanut Butter Pancakes

No pictures this time, because my roommate ate them all before I got out the camera :)

2 cups bisquick
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup milk
1 RIPE banana
1 cup peanut butter

mix well, might be lumpy. may need a touch more milk. you can eyeball it. or test your first pancake then decide if you need more milk.

I'm thinking I can double the banana in the next batch, we shall see how that turns out. My plan is to freeze these (when I can make a batch that doesn't get eaten right away) and take them to GWW with a few other flavors. I'm thinking these ingredients give our fighters just what they need to last them through the first battle or two :)
