Brian's Fluffy Pancakes

Michelle's husband, Brian is the Pancake King.  Frequently when we visit, he makes delicious pancakes for us.  Recently, when we tended the kids, I enlisted their two oldest children to help me "steal" Dad's recipe.  It was written on the side of the flour container.  So, Gabbi typed it out for me and Jaron wrote it out for me. 






 Brian's Fluffy Pancakes

3 cups flour

2 T. sugar

2 T. baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1/2 cup oil

3 cups milk

Heat griddle to 350.  Mix ingredients together and pour onto hot griddle.

Crockpot Thai Chicken Curry

 Michelle tried this recipe and sent it to all of us to try.  It is a delicious and healthy version of curry.  I will definitely be making it again.



Crockpot Thai Chicken Curry

1- 14 oz. can coconut milk

1 cup chicken stock

2-4 T. Thai red curry paste (I used green, but I think red would be better)

1 T soy sauce

1 T  maple syrup or brown sugar

1 T minced fresh ginger

2 teaspoons fish sauce (opt.)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into pieces

1 small butternut squash, cut in cubes (you can buy it cubed)

1 onion, chopped

1-2 chili peppers, opt.

1 large bunch of kale, torn into small pieces (about two packed cups)

Serve with cilantro, chili peppers, and lime (all optional)


Place all except the kale into the crockpot and stir together well.  Cook on high for 4 hours.

After 4 hours, stir in the kale and let it sit while you cook the rice or cauliflower rice or quinoa to serve.

Serve with cilantro, lime, and chili peppers if desired.
