Pumpkin Soda Pancakes

Saturday mornings used to be sorta lazy.

Meaning, there was time to get up, have some coffee, and the Mr. would make a "traditional" breakfast, as the cherubs like to tease him about.

But now, we have baseball and ballet and other what-nots that start earlier than I'd prefer

and our lazy Saturday breakfasts have sorta gotten . . . lazy.

But this morning, I decided to make pancakes before everybody scurried off to their activities.

Since both of my cherubs like pumpkin, I decided to do a quick pumpkin pancake.

I've posted before a quick pumpkin waffle and a pancake, but this is even easier!

That's great for a Saturday breakfast!

Pumpkin Soda Pancakes

2 cups buttermilk pancake mix
1 bottle pumpkin pie soda

Heat a pan or griddle with a bit of oil or Pam.

In a bowl, stir together the pancake mix and enough soda to make the batter the consistency it should be. I used nearly the entire bottle . . .there may have been 2 or 3 drinks left in the bottle. Stir well.

Drop by 1/4 cupful onto the hot pan or griddle. Cook until bubbly and "dry" around the edges. Flip over and cook on the other side until golden brown.

Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup; but I actually liked it plain!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice!

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK. Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity. It is a wonderful experience! And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant. It's delish! So back to the casserole. After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe! The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret! It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr. Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure! When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy! Especial
