Made-up pumpkin cakes

Blog entry by:  Big T

My little brother really wanted some pancakes, but we discovered that alas, there were no eggs to be found. 

In my brilliance, however, I had the amazing idea of using pumpkin as a substitute.

Fantabulousness ensued...

We added homemade granola.

Awkward photo moment. I couldn't stop laughing.

Our made up on the spot Pumpkin Cake Recipe:

1 Cup Pioneer Brand Pancake & Waffle Mix
3/4 Cup Milk
1.5 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
Butterscotch Chips (as many as you desire)
2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
3 Dashes (to taste) Cinnamon
1/2 Can Pumpkin Puree 
1/4 Cup Homemade Granola

Mix everything together, but don't add the granola or butterscotch chips yet. Preheat your pan & lightly spray with cooking spray or drizzle some olive oil onto the surface. Use a tablespoon to form your circular medallion cakes. Sprinkle granola and butterscotch chips onto the top of each little cake. There will be no air bubbles visible, so flip cake when it holds together & lightly brown other side. Be careful and don't burn the scotchy chips. 

No syrup needed, although we added a dollop of real cream! Eat up and enjoy!

Happy customer!

Even Baby T enjoyed it! We left the granola & chips out of his.

                        Nom Nom, sticky finger licking good!

Homeschoolers are engaging and fun

Sometimes it's hard putting "homeschooling" into words. After all, we do so much! Here's part of our year in a nutshell. Yes, this is only a snippet of what my family is involved in, but it's a pretty good sneak peek into our world.

If you are on the fence about homeschooling, I hope this motivates your family in the right direction.
