Pumpkin Pancakes with Caramel Syrup

My roommate Jessi (Taylor) Hulme made these for me one morning... and I fell in love with her for these - they are simply amazing!

Pumpkin Pancakes
2 c Bisquick
2 T Brown Sugar
2 t Cinnamon
1 t All Spice
1 12 oz can Evaporated Milk
1 c Pumpkin
2 T Oil
2 Eggs
1 t Vanilla

Mix together and serve with the caramel syrup and whipped cream!
Caramel Syrup
1 T Karo Syrup
1 c Sugar
3/4 c Buttermilk
1 t Baking Soda
1/4 c Butter
1/4 t Vanilla
Pinch of Salt

On Med/Hi place all ingredients in a large pan. Bring to a boil and stir continuously for 4-5 minutes. The longer it cooks, the thicker it will be, make sure not to over cook.


These are amazing! I doubled the batch for an apartment of 5 guys, 2 girls, and myself. It's not the healthiest thing ever but a well worth it splurge.

Circles and Prayers

Life moves in really interesting ways. We think we know what is going to happen next and then we turn the corner and find that we're on a country road versus Broadway. It's good, just never what is expected. I find the closer I get to serving a mission, the more thankful I am for the Lord's tender mercies. I'm serving going to go serve in Rosario in less than 3 months and I've started dating someone. With this a little more zest is in my life. We both have received separate, interesting, experiences that confirms my need and choice of a mission being positive and yet I am very thankful to get to share this experience with Jeremy. He makes me laugh every day, remember who I am and what potential I have by setting good habits in my life. I wouldn't discount this as just another 'learning experience' because in my book those are never... shall we say the most pleasant? But I will say that I feel he can greatly help me prepare in ways that I wouldn't have on my own. I love this funny life so much! I keep getting a stronger and stronger feeling for how intently my life is being watched "not even the sparrow's fall goes unnoticed" (paraphrased). Ahhhhh life is just simply wonderful and that constant feeling from the Spirit just confirms that now more than ever!
