Pancakes With Crunchy Edges are Life...

Who doesn't enjoy a pancake with a crisp edge? 
You know...the crispiness that only 
your mom or grandma could achieve.


When I saw this meme on the internet, I laughed out loud because it's something my sister Stacey and I talk about all the time. We would go to diners and restaurants and request pancakes with crunchy edges. The waitress would say okay...but return with regular ol' pancakes with soft edges. 
I gave up. I decided if I wanted pancakes like this, I would just make them at home. When looking at the meme's comments, I noticed that most people stated that only their parents or grandparents could achieve this crunchy goodness. Quite a few of the comments in the meme questioned how to achieve pancakes with crunchy edges? 
I chime in with "It's really not hard to achieve."
All you have to do is add a few drops of cooking oil around the sides of your pancakes while cooking them. It can be vegetable oil, butter, or bacon fat... The pan has to be hot and you drop the oil around the edges once the pancake has formed. That extra oil fries just the edges and you get that crunchy outside when your pancake is complete. 



                                                  
               

That's it. If you make 30 pancakes at a time like I do for my family you will get plenty of practice... XOXO Steph :)

My Love For The Cosi Signature Salad

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of having a Cosi Signature salad, then I'm sure you will agree with me, as it is my favorite salad with a dressing you can drink. (kidding) I miss living in the big city so I have to improvise. And with a huge thanks to  The Brown Eyed Baker  ,  I was able to recreate it down to that awesome drinkable dressing.  This is the first salad I’ve eaten with fruit in it. It has pistachios, red grapes, gorgonzola cheese, pears, and dried cranberries. I added leftover cooked chicken because I was starving and I didn’t want to be hungry later. My hubby sliced up a boiled egg in his. No egg for me. I had one already this afternoon. The chicken was a great companion to the fresh fruit.                                         *Note: The Original Cosi salad does not have chicken or eggs.             ...

Steph's Doing What Now?

I'm at a crossroads in my young adult life  and I want to  try something new.  I'm a mom, a low-key music producer, photographer and videographer... I also have a Full-Time job working the graveyard shift as a telecommunications operator. I try to incorporate EVERYTHING into my life that I want to do so there is never a dull moment. I went back to college, got my degree, produced and directed a music video, even wrote a few songs...all because I wanted to. Why should celebrities have all the fun and not the "other" brilliant minds in the world?  Did I mention that I am THE ULTIMATE foodie? All these years of doing things, and trying things and I thought one day...How do I fit food in here? I mean I love food.  No, I really Love food... More than anyone else? Probably. I was told by my trusty co worker Isabelle that I have been deprived in my childhood. (Her words not mine). I have missed out on a lot of good things in the food world. I come from a mom who is a d...
