Even though Dan and I ran off to Hawaii and got married by ourselves, we do want to celebrate with friends and family. So this Saturday we’re doing just that.
Savory & Sweet is catering (mm, tri tip and polenta lasagna).
Coffee Zombie Collective is jamming.
And I… I am making the cupcakes.
Wait, did I just say I am making the cupcakes? Yep, I think I did. Uh oh… Not that I’m afraid of making cupcakes. That is, at least I wasn’t.

I’ve been working on a healthy recipe for oatmeal pancakes off and on for over a year. You can ask Dan, he’s had to eat most of them. I’ve had the flavors right for a while, but the pancakes still fall apart when I try to flip them. Needless to say, the recipe is not stage-ready.
So there I was this morning, ready to try one more time.

Where did December go? One day I was thinking “I should start baking for the holidays” and the next thing I know we’re celebrating the new year. What the heck? Anyway, so Happy New Year!
I feel all grinchy for neglecting my oven throughout the holidays. There was no baking around here. I mean, no cookies, no gingerbread, no nothing. Well, except I did bake biscuits on Christmas morning because, dang it, you should have biscuits on Christmas. But other than that my oven was all but ignored.
So if I wasn’t baking,… where did the time go? Excellent question. I’m so glad you asked!
