Chilly Accessories

Chilly days are all about keeping warm with layers that you can take off once you get inside.  From scarves to adorable winter hats, accessories for the cold are no longer big & bulky but can be fashionable and useful.

Gingerbread Pancakes

Gingerbread is a flavor that really screams Holiday joy.  I know it’s a little early but since I want to start my Christmas shopping early, I need to get into the spirit  (also, the snow on the ground makes it feel more like December).  A hearty, delicious breakfast is a perfect way to get friends and family together.  Take your girlfriends, have a small brunch party with these pancakes and mimosas, then hit the mall!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground dried ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 1/2 cups water
 

Directions

  1. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside. Beat the egg in a separate mixing bowl with the vanilla and molasses until smooth. Whisk in the water until completely incorporated. Stir the flour mixture into the molasses mixture until just combined — a few lumps are okay.
  2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.

Halloween News

Happy Halloween every one! For my readers in New England, please stay safe & warm.  For those of you that are in warmer places, we hate you! :0) just kidding, but we do envy you right now.  We got hit with a huge snow storm and many are without power, and there is a shortage of gas across the state.  You can follow story updates on shelters, precautions, and anything you need at http://www.wfsb.com/

On national news, Kim Kardashian is filing for divorce today.  Yikes, is that record-short marriage in Hollywood?  (72 days!)Hopefully she had a pre-nup which I am pretty sure she did.  I got married the same day as KK so I hope there is not omen to that date! lol

Kim did seem pretty happy on Friday and looked amazing in her Poison Ivy costume and proves she can pull off just about any hair color.

Last Minute Costumes

So this year I did not plan well for Halloween.  Instead of wearing an extravagant costume, I am going to wing it and use what I have.  Here are some cool ideas for all of you who need last-minute easy Halloween costumes.

{Paris & Perez Hilton.  For Paris, you just need a blonde short wig.  Wear some designer glasses and a tight shirt and don’t forget the classic pose!  For Perez, just spray your hair pink and wear a graphic tee.}

{Hippie.  Don’t you love this makeup?  Pull out your tie dye shirt and ripped jeans and perfect your peace sign}
