Breakfast, Snow, and I think Winter's here!

We woke up this morning to the beautiful and very rare sight of snow! Monday mornings are hard to wake up and get off to school, but when I yelled up to the kids that there was snow, they hopped up and out of bed in a flash!

Brrrr, it's chilly out! I know it's not Alaska or the great white north, but it's cold for this California girl....I've lived in Vancouver, and it is definitely colder than here. Coincidentally, we were driving partway up Mt. Diablo, yesterday, and noticed that the higher up we went the colder it got.......little did we know that the road would be covered in snow, a few hours later. This is what the clouds looked like up there, yesterday.............

I'm telling you, this white stuff was covering the lower hills earlier in the morning, and on the ground outside our front door, even earlier! Love it!


And now for the breakfast menu..........here is the breakfast recipe I promised you all, awhile back. Next up, will be something chocolate!!


Dutch Babies (gluten-free)

7 eggs
1 cup milk
a dash of nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup butter melted in the bottom of your pan.


Mix all ingredients together on high speed in your mixer, so there are no flour lumps.
