Quick & Easy Homemade Pumpkin Pancakes

I have the greatest from scratch pumpkin pancake recipe. Ever. The problem is I can NEVER find it. Every year the weather gets crisp and cool and I get a hankering for pumpkin pancakes. And every year I cannot remember where I've put it. Today, if I had turned the house upside like I usually have to, I'm sure I would've found it. But since I had a limited amount of time get my pumpkin pancake fix, I decided to explore my options.

I'm glad I did! My from scratch recipes calls for yummy things like spices and melted butter. It is to die for! But who has time for from scratch pancakes every time they want them? This version is the next best thing!

Simple Ingredients

2 eggs
1 c. Milk
1/2 cup cooked pumpkin (or canned pumpkin puree)
1 3/4 c. Bisquick Mix
1 TBSP Sugar
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
1/2 c. chopped nuts, optional

The Quick & Easy Part

Just mix it all up, pour it onto your griddle and flip when they start to bubble a little.

Supposedly it yeilds 2 1/2 dozen 4" pancakes. I must've made mine a good bit bigger!

Today I am thankful for pumpkins and lazy Saturdays with my family!

NOTE: I always have left over canned pumpkin puree from my Halloween party. I make a yummy pumpkin dip that only uses about half the can of pumpkin. I'm always looking for ways to use up that kind of stuff because I hate to waste. If you find yourself with leftover canned pumpkin puree, you can use it for these pancakes or for Festive Pumpkin Dip - found here.

You're going out anyway, why not do this makeup look instead.? You'll probably have a lot of people asking what you are. Just stand there, mouth closed, eyes blank and see who "gets it" first!

Studio Saturday

Let's start this post with a disclaimer. First of all, I know it is not Saturday. In an effort to keep myself on track I've decided to begin Foto Friday, Studio Saturdays and Sale on Sundays. {Who knows what might happen the rest of the week}
Thing is, last night when I'd have otherwise been tucked into a nice warm blanket on the couch with my laptop in my....er...my lap, happily blogging away, I was, in fact, on the side of the road in the middle of no where with a screaming baby while on my way home. So you're getting Studio Saturday now and Sale on Sunday...later....today.....while it's still Sunday. Unless I find myself stuck on the side of the road again trying to comfort a baby who's as tired of being in the car as I am, in which case I can't promise you anything.



Studio Satrudays, in addition to keeping me on my toes, is designed to give you a peek at what's going on in the studio. I'd love to tell you that this Saturday was a mad flurry of preparation for my upcoming Art Show in May but that would be erroneous on so many levels. What I did was go to a party. A Baby is Coming party, otherwise known as a baby shower, for a beautiful baby girl named Sophie who's due to arrive in March. I did get in the studio this week to work on custom letters for her nursery, a pretty little birdie and minky fabric playmat and some cupcake washcloths because everyone knows little girls cannot have ordinary washcloths.



There was a mountain of gifts! And let's face it, at this point, especially in the thrid trimester, the gifts are what it's all about. Your back hurts, if you look in a mirror your face is unrecognizable and if you do anything besides walk to the bathroom your feet swell to 10 times their normal size. But who cares about your feet? You can no longer see them anyway. Baby gifts somehow seem to magically take those ailments away even if only for a little while. Here's hoping Sophie's mom is still on the baby gift high with her feet propped up.
