I had these pancakes three times this week. Because they’re so quick and easy (with so few dishes to wash), that they’ve been my go-to while I’ve spent my days training (and, so far, mostly being trained by) my eight-week old puppy. Plus, they are so, so good. (was that…
Over the past few days, I haven’t had as much time for The Scrumptious Pumpkin site as I’d like. I haven’t had much time for anything, actually. I’ve had my hands full with the new addition to our family: an eight-week-old beagle named Calvin. He is: two parts ‘boundless tornado of…
