To me she looks so much older, I don't know if it's the hair or that she's about to turn 8! What do you think? McCall also wanted a messenger bag and not a backpack this year "...'cause the 6th graders have these, Mom." When we were school shopping she saw this top (www.nordstrom.com) and HAD to have it. The shirt has ruffles on the bottom back of it. She knew right off that's what she wanted to wear the first day. She also has this Henley that she adores and calls it her lucky shirt (cause it's green). I hope I haven't created a monster!!
I really should know how to focus!
Silly Elizabeth is always trying to crack us up!
I asked McCall what she wanted for dinner and she of coarse said Swedish Pancakes. So I thought I'd share my very favorite recipe for them out of the many different ones I've used. I love this one because on top of tasting great I don't have to butter the pan like some recipes. We put fresh fruit, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, whipped cream, syrup, etc. in them but our favorite combo is fresh Strawberries and bananas with cinnamon sugar and a bit of whipped cream.
Swedish Pancakes (Crepes)
4 eggs
1 c. flour
1 T. sugar
1 t. salt
1 c. milk
a little bloop of vegetable oil
Whisk eggs, flour, sugar, and salt together into a smooth paste. Slowly whisk in milk until just combined, then add a bit of oil (just to keep them from sticking) and stir again. Ladle or pour the batter onto the griddle over medium heat, and tip pan to swirl batter into a thin circle. Flip when edges look dry. Place whatever fruit or combo you like down the center, roll up (we fold burrito style) and enjoy!

Super cute hair on Lizzy!
So our family tradition (on my Mother's side) is Swedish Hotcakes. Same difference. I'm glad someone else makes them. They were my absolute favorite, and luckily, my boys love them, just not Brandon.
We do flour tortillas with fresh tomato and avocado, scrambled eggs, etc. I was thinking it might be good in them (Swedish pancakes). Have you tried anything more savory than sweet? I know traditionally they are sweet.
Hey Ashely-McCall is so cute, she is the same age as my Bekah who turns 8 in January and who also could not be seen with a backpack but had to have a messenger bag. I have a ton of buttermilk syrup (soo yummy you have to try it) that I need to use up and now I have the perfect recipe to use it on, my kids will love it. Thanks for the idea.
Ashley, your daughter is so cute!! I remember starting school...I keep joking with my husband that I need to go school shopping...he just laughs! :) Anyway--your family is darling. Take care!
Thanks for the recipe...I love to cook and am always looking for new ones!
The girls hair looks good. Hopefully they like it. There really is something about a hair cut making kids look older. Wish we could keep them young forever! I wish we could eat at your house every night. You always have good ideas and yummy recipes.
Your girls are so cute. I can't believe how old McCall looks in that picture. They grow up way to fast. Lizzy's hair is darling.
