Gingerbread Cookie Pancakes & Some News

Guyyyyyyyyyyyys!!!!

You know when you have that friend that goes out and finds herself a boyfriend and then totally ignores all of her friends after that?

Well, I am totally guilty of being THAT girl for the past few days!

The REAL question is…how much did you guys miss me??

But no seriously, I guess since I went “Facebook public” with it the other day, I guess it’s the perfect time to introduce to you guys who’s responsible for whisking me away from the blog the last few days.

*I promise he’s not another nut butter*! πŸ˜‰

I shall call him Broccoli Rabe Babe πŸ˜‰

Sorry ladies, but sadly BB doesn’t have any brothers πŸ˜‰

And just in time for Pancake Sunday, I walked into the kitchen this morning with motivation to make some pancakes for my vegetable-lovin’ man.

But not just any pancakes…

With the weather getting colder, and the neighborhood full of houses decked with icicle lights, I knew it was time for a good solid recipe that screamed Christmas!

    i guess i'll let it slide. boys are SOMETIMES worth it.

  12. What a hottie πŸ˜‰ hehe Congrats on the “facebook official”… my man-friend and I finally made the jump to official “bf/gf” status. When he introduced me to someone as his girlfriend on Saturday, I think my jaw dropped. Yeah, big step for two commitment-phobes πŸ˜‰ hahaha But seriously, he looks like a great guy! And he’s lucky to have someone as AMAZING as you!!!! πŸ™‚

    Now pass me some of those pancakes!

  13. So happy for you! Delicious food = the key to a man’s heart πŸ™‚ [[among other things of course]]
    a good reason for blog absence, i think i’ll let this one slide, haha

  14. Aw, awesome reason to ignore everything else πŸ˜‰ Love the picture of you two, you both look great. Especially together πŸ˜€
    Your pancakes look amazing! I totally didn’t need help craving pancakes, but now I really want pancakes for lunch, or even dinner would be awesome, haha.

  17. Penguins? Pancakes? Sprinkles? A cute guy? AND a beaming, joy-filled Heather? This post is full of a bunch of my favorite things!!! I’m sooooo happy for you friend, and take as much time away from the blog as you need to nurture your budding relationship… I miss the courting, lovey-dovey, passion-filled beginning of a relationship (not that I would change a thing with my almost-4-years in guy, but you know what I mean!), and I say LIVE IT UP, GIRL!! πŸ˜‰ <3

  18. Congrats, girl. He’s a cutie! I love the sprinkles on top. My grandma’s Christmas cookies scream Christmas!

  19. Robyn :) says:

    Congratulations πŸ™‚

    One dish that screams christmas to me is Kolachy cookies. I make these every year.

  20. You know I’m beyond happy for you! What a cutie! As for the pancakes, I swear you were reading my mind the other day. I totally blog stocked you looking for this recipe! It is on my list to make ASAP! Enjoy your time away from here…you are missed, but as long as you’re happy, I’m happy!
