Do you really get a free Tootsie Roll POP when you get the Indian shooting the star?

I’ve always wondered that.

Recipe – 1 German Apple Pancake

I found this recipe in Cooking Light Magazine and tried it out last Sunday morning. It was pretty yummy!

Batter:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1 cup eggs (3-4)
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Apple Mixture:
1/2 cup sugar, divided
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 cup thinly sliced Granny Smith apple

1 Tbsp. powdered sugar (for top when finished)

1. To prepare batter, combine flour, baking powder, 1 Tbsp. sugar, salt, and nutmeg into medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add egg. Let stand 30 minutes.

2. Preheat oven 425 degrees

3. Coat sides of 10-inch oven proof skillet with cooking spray. Combine 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; sprinkle evenly over bottom and sides of pan. Arrange apple in an even spoke like layer in pan. Sprinkle apple with remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Cook over medium heat 8 minutes or until mixture bubbles. Slowly pour batter over apple mixture.

4. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 (do not remove pancake from oven); bake an additional 13 minutes or until center is set. Carefully loosen pancake with a spatula and slide onto a serving platter. Sift powdered sugar over top. Cut into 6 wedges; serve immediately.

Coke tastes better in glass bottles.

I’m trying to be healthier lately because if I’m in good habits now, it will be easier to keep them later. And now is always a better time to start than tomorrow. I like healthy food and when I have time, I’m super healthy, but a few things get in my way sometimes.
3 words: chips, dessert, soda
I’m good at giving up chips, I’ll start eating them again but then I can give them up easily.
Dessert is my all-time enemy, I love anything sweet and I love to bake. But I am all for low-fat desserts and am willing to try new healthy recipes.
I’ve given up soda before but it’s a bit harder because soda goes well with so many foods and when you’re out to eat, it’s hard to sip your bland water when other people have a yummy drink in front of them. I really should give it up again…
besides, it tastes better out of a glass bottle.

Tea: I love it. I usually like loose leaf tea but it’s hard to find in stores and I usually have to buy it online. So the next best thing is Good Earth (or “Good Times” as jared refers to it) My all time favorite is Sweet and Spicy. It’s especially good if you have a cold or if it’s getting cooler outside. YUM!!! I’m so glad it’s finally starting to cool off so that I can curl up and have tea without sweating 🙂 

What’s your favorite kind of tea? Or drink if you’re not a tea drinker…
