Pear, Parmesan and Honey Crostini

-
Looking for a quick appetizer? These Pear, Parmesan and Honey Crostini can be made in just 20 minutes and are a uniquely-flavored vegetarian snack option.

Not only is it really simple (yay), but it combines ingredients that you may not otherwise think to pair together. Essentially you cut the bread, place cheese atop of bread and into the oven. While the cheese is melting, cut up pear and crush walnuts, remove the bread from the oven, sprinkle on the toppings and BOOM DONE. Easy peasy snack or appetizer.

So go ahead and bring it to your holiday party, or don’t. If it were me, I would make it and then eat it all myself. And by “I would”, I mean that I already did that. Enjoy!

The BEST Basic Pancake Recipe

-
Image
For years, I used a box mix to make pancakes. It was easy — just add water (and maybe an egg, depending on the fanciness of the mix) and pour the batter on the griddle. Then the internet came along and showed me that I could make pancakes from scratch and at a fraction of the cost of a mix. And, surprise! The pancakes actually taste better. First, we must master the basic pancake. And while whipping up a batch takes no time at all, there are some rules to pancake creation to make sure your pancakes turn out fluffy and delicious every time: Ingredients 2 c. all purpose flour 1 T. baking powder 3 T. white sugar 1/2 t. salt 2 eggs 1-1/2 c. milk 2 t. vanilla 1 T. butter, vegetable oil or coconut oil Instructions: Preheat a griddle. If you’re using an electric griddle, preheat to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl add flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix well. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add eggs, milk and vanilla. Stir to combine. Remember,
