ohh man. i need to get back on something. some kind of schedule. i don't know. i guess i've been feeling a little blah lately, not to mention i have a freezer full of girl scout cookies that make me feel like i shouldn't be making anything. i am not even kidding on the freezer full part. i do want to make things with them, though. i have been on a kick to make something chocolate and mint, lately.
did i do that today though? NOPE. i might call it the exact opposite- warm, spicy, cinnamony, with carrots?
oh, comes complete with a cream cheese icing. i had a couple extra carrots from when i made cheddar broccoli soup, so these seemed like a good idea for a quick snack of the sorts.
i got these from averie cooks. it is a pretty easy recipe, no mixer required! i added an extra egg to make them a little more cakey. they came out pretty tasty though! check it out! they are pretty spicy, with the addition of cloves, allspice, nutmeg and ginger on top of the cinnamon. the cream cheese drizzle makes them, though!
i love the way cinnamon smells when it's baking, too. everything smells awesome.
sigh. the countdown continues, in the mean time, to north carolina. 116 days left. the weather is on the fence of being nice or inclement. i've been able to go out running twice in the last week. i will complete my 5k soon....before the winter i made it to week 7 of 8, running about 25 minutes. i will run on the beach this summer. but it can't get here soon enough!!
i've just been working, other than that. i get a day off, and i just want to sit around. or run, like today, but it's supposed to get cold next week. speaking of next week, though, this sunday is my breakfast party! i love breakfast. this is exciting for me. you can eat it any time of the day, it can be sweet or savory, hot or cold....and pancakes and waffles are pretty much the best things ever.
and then there are things like this. i made this a few mornings ago, because i was in the mood for pancakes and blueberries. what a better combination? also, an excuse to use one of my skillets.
ron argued with me that "blueberry cake is not the same as pancakes," but i beg to differ. this is just a deep dish pancake! not sweet at all, like regular cakes, full of blueberries, and delicious covered in syrup! cut into eight slices, it was breakfast for several days! at least for me, anyway. i still have a couple of pieces left. (recipe here- also from averie cooks!)
imma make this on the beach, too. hurry up, july!!
thanks for reading!
