Buttermilk Caramel Syrup for the Last Day of Summer Breakfast

So, it's the Sunday before the kids go back to school.  I want it to be an awesome, laid back kind of day before the early morning tomorrow.  (well laid back for them since I'm doing the work;)  I also let them have a repeat for dinner tonight and my son choose the Ultimate Sriracha Burger.  (good choice)  I saw this syrup on pinterest and said I have buttermilk I need to use, why not?!  I know the kids were clamoring for my famous sprinkle pancakes.  (actually a friend of mine made them first, but my son's friends and cousins adore them and I have to make them if they are here for breakfast.  It's only as taxing as regular pancakes, which for some reason I find very taxing.  Perhaps it is because I'm most emphatically not a morning person and I feel there is something obscene about working that hard with a cup of coffee in hand.  Now huge amazing breakfasts I have no issue with, just so long as someone else is cooking and cleaning that whole thing up.  Now how do I make the sprinkle pancakes.  Well I add sprinkles,  Duh!  I add some the batter and give it a stir.  The sprinkles instantly dissolve into strings of color.  Don't mix too hard.  I was running low on sprinkles so I went light on this batch but you can see them in this picture.

Once they are poured on the grill, give a good shake of the sprinkles over each pancake.  I often have quite a few sprinkles, colored sugars, etc, and let each kid kind of design their own.  I know I'm such a cool mom.  lol



So on to the new syrup.  I think it tasted great and was easy to do, even with coffee in hand.  It wasn't as thick as I would have liked, but boy was it sweet!  So, if you are looking for a way to switch up the morning pancake/waffles, give this a go.
forgive the blurry picture, but that was most likely how I was seeing it:)

Pork Schnitzel with Dill Cream Sauce

Image
I am not the biggest fan of pork chops. I like pork tenderloin, bacon, ham, etc, but chops not so much. I do dig a good pan sauce however so I still was kind of excited. I do like good schnitzel, yes pork schnitzel, but this recipe did not produce that wonderful schnitzel I like. The sauce was pretty yummy and the boys didn't complain about the s so it must be my issues (again:).  My husband picked it off Pinterest and since it was from allrecipes.com I have no problem posting it here. (I am always a little concerned about allrecipes. I have had a few really good recipes, several fixable and a few bad recipes from them.)  I totally forgot about sides when I was at the store, so I cooked a half a box of whole wheat pasta I had cluttering up the pantry and tossed it with a bit of butter.   (and then dill sauce ;) And I steamed some broccoli too.  The boys rated it a 4 & a 4.5, I am torn because the sauce was a 4.5 for sure, the pork more like a 3 for me so....

Mollet Eggs Florentine

Image
Anytime I think I think I'm pretty good in the kitchen, I try to peel a boiled egg!  I have no idea how anyone can get those perfect, smooth eggs.  Mine look like surface of the moon or somewhere they test bombs!  It was meatless Monday, so in order to keep the boys from rebelling completely, I decide to make an egg dish. (they get some protein that way)  They looked beautiful, and except for the complete pain in the butt part (peeling the eggs) it wasn't too hard to make.  It was well received by my husband(he really liked it actually) , but the boy didn't care for it much.  (too much green IMO)  I thought it was good too despite the fact that I was ready to kill someone after "peeling" the eggs)  It is Jacques Pepin recipe I found on pinterest.   Only thing I might suggest is when he says to shake the pan to crack the eggs, I think he means gently move the eggs until they crack.  I had two casualties after the "shake"  That was ok, the girl wasn't

Ravioli In Mushroom-Walnut Cream Sauce

Image
I found this recipe in the to try file and it looked good, and was quick and easy. Perfect for meatless Monday. Now that mushrooms aren't a veto ingredient for my son, I was totally psyched to have this.  I searched for the source of this recipe, and i found it on the olive garden website. This wasn't where I got it from, but it read identical. While this wasn't an omg dish, I totally dug the heavy mushroom content.  I said 3.5. The boy, who still doesn't like mushrooms, said 2.5. My husband started out at rating it a 3, but when I saw him scraping his plate to get the last if the sauce, he agreed it was a 3.5.  I'm fully aware that my love and lack of mushrooms skewed me in favor of this dish. I made sure to stir the mushroom/walnut mixture. I was afraid it would burn the nuts. I think next time, I would start the mushrooms for a bit before I add the walnuts.  And the dish felt like it needed salt, until the end where it seemed all the parm was lurking, so I guess
