Pancakes with the Princess: May

May went flying by and I realized I was running out of time to host Pancakes with the Princess. Seriously - where did this month GO?

Since the Biggest Loser finale was on the schedule for this week, I asked my friends Greg and Angi if they wanted to come over for pancakes and then stay to watch the finale with me. We all love that show so much. (Greg and I water cooler talk Biggest Loser every week at work.)

They arrived in this massive deluge that hit Marion - but fortunately the power (mostly) stayed on and didn't interrupt our dinner.

Angi helped me with the cinnamon swirlies on the pancakes. (We did that version since there were just three of us.)
It was like a little art form. I was impressed with her swirling skills!

I don't usually have a ceiling cam while I'm cooking. LOL.


This was also the maiden voyage of my new griddle. I am so excited about this purchase! I found it about a month ago - on sale for $30 and I had an additional $10 off coupon. So it was a $50 griddle that I got for twenty bucks. Sure beats the snot out of making three pancakes at a time in my itty bitty skillet!

The official spread - orange juliuses, Amish breakfast casserole, and lots and LOTS of pancakes. Oh - and check out the cute new summer dishes. I mentioned those a while ago. I heart polka dots. Love my dishes!

Greg - making the most of every last drop of that orange julius.


We went ahead and made up the rest of the batter because they do make great leftovers. We were proud of our artwork!


Greg thought it was appropriate to have round two during the Biggest Loser. HA!

It was so much more fun to watch the finale with my friends. I am blown-away-inspired by Olivia and Hannah. Loved seeing them in the final two and LOVED the outcome. Those girls are just the real deal, and I could not have been happier. I didn't even care who won once it was down to the two of them. GREAT season.
