Sunday School-Ideas

So things are getting a little busy around here on Sundays!  Due to some insane busyness I don't have a new recipe for you!

But I still wanted to share with you some old recipes so you can still have some great brunch adventures!

How about some crepe cake?  So delicious and gooey!

Some delicious cinnamon pancakes!  Makes me hungry just looking at them!  Perfect way to start a Sunday morning/afternoon.

And finally, you need something wash all this down, so how about a nice, fizzy, raspberry maple drink!  If you're feeling super adventurous you could even try to put this syrup on some fresh pancakes!  

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a lovely Sunday and while you're here check out the new Smashed on Sunday link-up!

Love,

Sunday School-Cinnamon Pancakes

Happy Sunday lovelies!

How was your week?  Were you up to anything exciting?

After a long week I always love a good Sunday brunch, these pancakes would be a wonderful addition to any brunch!



The are sweet and delicious and fluffy (thanks to some whipped egg whites).



They are a pretty extravagent breakfast that are super easy to make, which is always great!

recipe adapted from Erin Cooks

Cinnamon Swirl

1/2 cup sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

4 tablespoons butter (at room temperature)

In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients.  Using a fork mash everything together until it smooths out, at first it doesn't seem possible but then it all comes together.  Set to the side

Pancakes

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

4 eggs, separated

1 cup milk

1 cup orange juice

4 tablespoons butter

In a medium bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.

In a small bowl, mix the egg yolks, milk, orange juice and butter.

Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and whisk together.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they have formed stiff peaks.  The goal is for the whites to remain smooth and to not get "chunky" looking.

Add the egg whites to the rest of the batter and carefully fold in.  Do this by cutting through the middle of the whites and folding into the rest of the batter.  It will get nice and thick.



Grease a frying pan or a griddle and heat oven medium-high heat.  Add a swirl of the cinnamon filling and cook until the bubbles on top are popped or the edges turn golden brown.



Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes.  Remove from the pan and store in a warm place.



Cream Cheese Glaze

3 oz cream cheese

4 tablespoons butter

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

3 tablespoons milk

In a small bowl add the cream cheese and butter, mix together using a mixer.  Slowly add the powdered sugar and milk until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.

Spoon on top of the pancakes and enjoy!

Happy Sunday!

Weekly Wrap Up

Wow! What a week! There has been so much happening.

I got the keys to my first EVER apartment and I bought a car (guess that makes me an adult?)

It's pretty insane. I had the week off of wok so there were lots of work out pants and tank tops. There was a lot of eating, lounging, packing and MOVING!

It was insane!



I love that food trucks are blowing up in Denver! I got this delicious pizza at a food truck party, it was so delicious! And there was so much else going on, so fun!



Living in Colorado, there is so much great beer! I decided that this summer I'm going to embrace it, so me and a friend headed down to the Breckenridge Brewery and enjoyed a few drinks.



I wasn't always lazy, I did get dressed once or twice.



My friend is a bartender at Chili's, he makes me yummy drinks.  I went and hung out there for a while to read my book (I still have another 350ish pages to pound through by Thursday...sigh).



Here's the EMPTY apartment!  I just went over and hung out for a bit while it was empty, because it's mine and I could.  It was pretty fun :)



Here's my car!  A 1999 Subaru, so excited about it!

 



I have some idea of what the organization of my kitchen will be, so I put my dishes away.  This is my favorite cabinet :)



Brunch!  I love chocolate chip pancakes and I love good time with friends.



So if you ever come to Denver, it's a requirement to go to Casa Bonita, and it's not because of the food (beware of the food).  The experience is ridiculous!  Especially if you go with my friend Dan, he makes this experience so amazing (margaritas are also helpful :))



Look, I got dressed again!



Thrift find!  I kind of love this thing.  I want to put glasses and bottles on the bottom and then have the top be a "mail station" since it's right by the front door.  We'll see how it works.



I bought this jar at IKEA and am using it to store my many cupcake liners (idea from Pinterest).



I have a friend who is opening a small, consignment boutique and I went over to help her out.  I got to use a price gun, it was great!



Does your city have something like this?  It's called Canvas and Cocktails and you go to this place and they teach you how to paint, and you get to drink wine!  We were doing a take on a "Denver Starry Night."  Great fun.

So there we have it.  My week has been filled with fun, stress, craziness and a potential lack of hygiene (TMI?  Sorry about that, my bathroom is a little unorganized, I fully intend on shower tonight!).

Love,

Keely
