Beatrice sandwich! And some of the very best pizza we have ever eaten behind us 🍕@pizzeriabianco
These two are obsessed with “Fancy Like” and mostly obsessed with watching @walkerhayes dance to Fancy Like with his family 😎😎 It’s currently their top pick for the bedtime song🎶 and here’s a snippet of what went down last night! #fancylike
“Mama— take a picture of this face…” he says. And I’m grabbing my camera and trying to contain my laughter as I think to myself, “I’m just the absolute luckiest to know this kid.” 💛 Everyone needs a mister Conrad in their life.
When you convince (bribe?) the entire family to take a family photo with the real camera 📸 ps- spot the camera remote😂
Sometimes I raise my voice. Sometimes I beg. Sometimes I make ultimatums. Sometimes I hate bedtime to the freaking goodnight moon and back.
But then they’ll grab my chin and cheeks and lean in close to tell me they love me. And they’ll thank Heavenly Father for “no witches and no robbers” during their bedtime prayers. And insist on giving each other 17 silly hugs before the lights go out because “I’m gonna miss her so much when I sleep.”
I’ll take the 48 minutes of squatting between their beds for back scratches and the unexpected trip to the potty 12 minutes after the last potty trip if it means they keep this bond forever. Witnessing their complete love and sisterhood changes me. Even when I say I hate bedtime with my three-year-olds, I’m such a sucker for this stage of life with them.
A few photos from life lately over here - enjoying family time and life in Arizona. Thanks for being here while I’ve kind of been away for a little while… haven’t been doing well physically (some health issues) but that doesn’t mean I haven’t stopped taking one too many photos☺️
The game of “Who Can Stand on Mama’s Back and Wiggle Their Feet Around Without Falling Off!” …which is really just code for “mama would like a back massage” but they think it’s crazy fun and my back knots are screaming happy so everyone wins. #momhacks
One wall and pipe at a time, the home renovation is coming together. 💛 #renovation #homedecor #wallpaper (wallpaper is @riflepaperco🌸)
Just over here holding all my (not-so-little) babies close and stepping away from pretty much everything else. Trying to cuss less and write more. Often feel on the cusp of big breakthroughs I want from my life (yay!) while simultaneously giving too much power to my anxiety (ugh). Clinging to my evening prayers and favorite yoga class and busting out the Christmas music a season early. My footing might be terribly wobbly at the moment and who wants to hear the girl on the verge of nervous tears dish out any kind of life advice, but for anyone else in a similar rut (I’m so sorry) – might I suggest the biggest serving of strawberry shortcake as a remedy. Plus standing outside during a warm rain (Arizona, you healer with a perfectly timed monsoon season, how’d you know?)… and maybe put the phone down more. Or whatever version of these three things might float your boat. I’m sure chocolate soufflé with a dose of sunshine instead of shortcake and rain could also do the trick. The phone one I’m sticking by though. Sending you lots of love.
Bringing our summer along with us forever by way of new freckles scattered across most of our faces! ✨ …you can see B’s first sprinkle of itty bitty dots across her little nose and cheeks in the 2nd pic and even with all the lathering of sunscreen and my blessed daily nagging about sun hats, I’m nothing but proud in this moment!🥳 #summer #motherhood #magic
We are slowly making our way back to Arizona this week (my kids school year begins August 2nd😱) and we’ve never been more out of routine (definitely missing black out curtains right about now) BUT we’ve clocked in so many striking sunsets and got to hold and hug so many loved ones, it’s been everything.
I meant to share earlier this week that Amazon is running a promo on my book right now through the end of the month (until 7/31)— use the code 3YELLOW for $3 off your book purchase!
If you’ve been considering purchasing, it’d mean so much to have you do so! Thank you for supporting me and my book and I hope you find it worth your while and time.
For those of you who have already purchased and read— if there was a takeaway or something that resonated with you as you read, would you consider sharing in the comments below for new potential readers to see?
Thank you again for your support! This has been such a vulnerable and thrilling and challenging and exciting and scary endeavor and I’ve really appreciated the support. 💛
Just trying to keep up with these three on the mountain and ignore how sore my butt is from my saddle😅
On a boat! With a lot of laughs! And a few tears. Plus a whole lotta sunscreen and a couple of epic tube flips 🚤
Our summer adventures are getting a little jumbled when it comes to me sharing anything in chronological order (a part of my brain is freaking out right now but another part of my brain is feeling a little bit more free.) Sparklers are our family’s happy place so we continued our 4th of July celebrating tonight with a few on the deck. Of all the summer activities so far, a box of sparklers a few days post holiday was Samson’s favorite. He hugged me so tightly at bedtime as he told me for maybe the 18th time how much fun he had tonight. Somehow I forget anything else I loved this summer… his enthusiasm for an evening of sparklers brought sparklers to the top of my favorite summer activities list, too. 🧨
The BEST time learning all about bees 🐝 with the bee expert herself @mckayjo in Salt Lake City. We haven’t stopped talking about all the impressive things those hard working bees do each day and somehow honey has made its way into more of our meals this week 😋 Thank you for having us, @mckayjo!
enjoy!
YUM! Must try! Thanks for the recipe :)
It looks delicious
http://www.therecordologist.blogspot.com
This is perfect for my craving! Thanks for sharing.
That looks absoutly delish! I'm gonna have to try that tomorrow I think.
Sounds delicious! Will have to give them a go. x
my husband and I eat these almost every weekend. I too grew up eating them, but haven't tried cinnamon in them-brilliant idea!
In our house we call them German Pancakes. They have been a staple in my husbands childhood and now in our little family. Our recipe is really similar to yours! I love the placement of everything in the second photo. Lovely!
I make this all the time (as recently as this morning!) but mine never look as pretty as yours :p
definitely trying this tomorrow morning!
Thank you so much for posting this!!! I've been dying to try them since reading your entry. I'm a big fan of food. :)
We call these German Pancakes like another reader up there said. We never have these very often. When company comes over, it's our go to breakfast and it makes it so special! I love these!
Looks delish! Going to try these as a reward for studying so hard!
This looks amazing! I can't believe how simple the recipe is. Yumm!
that looks amazing! and so easy, totally making these, maybe for dinner tonight…
We make this in a 9×13 dish and call them German pancakes, too. They're delicious drizzled with chokecherry syrup! I'll have to try making smaller versions in a pie dish- that's a great idea!
Yum! I think I would love that. My husbands Christmas breakfast tradition is apple puff pancakes. I need to share that recipe–I'm sure you would love it.
I must admit ever since you posted this awhile back I've been having it constantly! Breakfast, lunch and dinner ;)
oh my goodness…that looks divine.
I know those as hootenanny pancakes. Next time you make them, try topping them with sour cream and strawberry (or raspberry) jam. Delish!
This looks like the perfect Sunday morning breakfast! I want to try making a gluten-free version, maybe with nutella and bananas too!
Great post, and your blog is lovely as always <3
ps I know it's not the focus of your blog, but I love your style! Bold lips and those glasses, so chic!
Hope you and your photogenic little family have a lovely weekend!
this looks amazing! I must do this!
Yum! I will be making these in the near future.
YUM! cannot wait to try this (with gluten-free flour)! :)
This WILL be the death of me.

found the route
hmmm yum yum! can't wait to try this! i bet e is gonna love it too!

London Last Night
I'm going to try this with some sliced baked apples for dessert!
We ate these growing up (except in a 13×9 pan because we're a big family)! We called them "bubble works" which was just a silly name one of my sisters made up when we were children. :) Your pictures looked so delish that I decided to make this for dinner tonight so my husband gets to eat them for the first time!
Wow. These look so delicious. Definitely going to have to try these.
Love the blog by the way. You have a beautiful family, I just can't believe how gorgeous Eleanor is.
http://www.thescheltsjournal.blogspot.com
thanks so much for sharing! we'll definitely be trying these :)
Ha, too funny. I JUST posted this recipe on my blog on Friday! I use a little more butter and nutmeg instead of cinnamon, but everything else is the same. It is sooooo good!
I usually don't care much for pancakes…unless they're chocolate chip pancakes :) But these I may have to try!
Just made this for breakfast (I live in Japan and it's Monday morning here!) I added chocolate chips since I can't have pancakes without chocolate. It's delicious!! Thanks so much for sharing!
looks amazing, can't wait to try it!
Oh, Yeah! Thank you!
Ohhhh, yes! Thank you so much. Yum.
These look awesome. I will have to try them out and see how they compare to german pancakes or crepes. Thanks for sharing :)
http://mrmrssorensen.blogspot.com
How many does it normally make? Do you think it'd work ok with spelt or another wheat free flour? Looks delish!!
Oh I'm so excited you decided to post this! I saw it and was curious! Tonight I needed something quick and simple to make for dinner so I gave it a try and LOVED it!!!
Yum! Glad you posted this! The first time I had these was at your house probably about 10 years ago. :) These are good!
Totally going to use this recipe! Thanks for sharing.
Looks delich. Might have to try this one out one Saturday or Sunday morning. Thanks for sharing.
these look sooooo amazing! definitely trying this recipe! thanks for posting! :)
so perfect. and so easy to make. definitely making these tomorrow, and every day after ;)

Thanks for sharing this! I've been dreaming of puffed pancakes since that blog post.
i have a similar recipe… but i've never done a circle one! do you make it in a pie pan??! it's fun to have it be a different shape than a regular ol' rectangle!
thanks for the recipe!!
xo
thank you for sharing! looking forward to Saturday to try this out!
me and the hubs were looking for something in the house to eat when i came across this post. we just tried them and they are sooo good!! thanks for sharing the recipe!

Hey Taza,
I'm from the DC area, so it's always a treat to read your blog and get a little feel of home through your posts and pictures (we are living abroad so very far away!). Such an awesome place. Do you think you'll end up settling there for good?
Pregnancy looks great on you! And like all 5 million people have said over and over, your girl is a doll, truly. What a cute fam!
Dayna
This is awesome! I'm totally going to try this one day when I have time!
Mm thanks! Beats regular old homemade pancakes (although those are yummy too!)
Yum! Add one more egg and we'd call that a "Dutch Baby" in my family :)
Joanna
We call it "Big Dutch Baby" at my house. It turns out really beautiful if cooked in a cast iron skillet. Also, my mom has a silicone cupcake pan and you can make individual ones that are a bit larger. Thanks for sharing!
The Naked Rose
i saw this then immediately ran off to try to it topped with bananas and powdered sugar. SO yummy, thank you for sharing! :)

Even though it's 4am right now, that just made me really hungry! I will definitively try to make these sometime this week!
Looks good…a bit like yorkshire puddings which we used to eat with roast beef or have for pudding sprinkled with sugar if there were any left over:)
oh!thanks for sharing, I'll try this next weekend!
kisses from Spain!
I've made these a couple times, delicious! Your post has inspired a mega-pancake craving in me though, perhaps it is breakfast for dinner night? :)
I am addicted to pancakes in every form so am definitely going to have to try this :)
Looks delicious!! I can't wait to try this pancake recipe. :)
Love the idea of a puff pancake :) Thanks for sharing!

oh that is just too easy. THUS, i will make it every day.
I tried it with baked apples! Here it is: http://ftdofsmcp.blogspot.com/2012/02/puffed-pancake-with-apples.html
This recipe looks amazing! Running out to the store for eggs and strawberries immediately!
if you sprinkle a little bit of brown sugar in the bottom of the pan before pouring in the pancake mix it caramelizes while it's baking. SO GOOD!
This is one of my absolute fave go-to easy dishes!
Tried this and it was fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Made these from your recipe – DELISH. Thank you this will be in the permanent rotation. :-)
That looks really yummy! I can't wait to try it…

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have been craving it ever since seeing a photo in one of your earlier posts x

Pancakes in general are so yummy but PUFF PANCAKES! I can't imagine the tasty splendor of a pancake with some puff.
http://madnessanmusings.blogspot.com/2012/02/my-travel-essentials.html
I am definitely trying this recipe! Thanks for sharing.
make this all the time for my husband and our best friend :) its always a favorite!

The middle and bottom of my pancake doesn't seem to be cooking right. It's more like a sponge texture, is anyone else having this problem? What am I doing wrong…?
thanks for the recipe! just gave it a go for a quick dinner after a light night at work… it was delicious! i followed your suggestion and sprinkled it with lemon juice and powdered sugar :) THANKS!!
made these for my sons for dinner last night. One ate them as you have pictured, one added nutella before the strawberries. It was a happy breakfast dinner! Thank you :)
I tried this last night….and min love! Thanks for sharing!
I made these for dinner last night with it being national pancake day it only seemed fitting. OMG, these are my new favorite! I told my husband we'll be eating these all the time from now on!
Thanks for sharing!

Amazing Pancakes For Saint Patrick’s Day.
Thank you for the recipe!
I've made it two consecutive mornings now for my family and I! It is delicious and quick and easy to make! I love it!
Yummy, I always make pancakes from my homemade mix from Nigella Lawson, but this sounds so easy. Will have to try. Just discovered your blog..love it.
xox

P.S. Would love for you to check out mine as I am a newbie to this..
http://www.urbanchiqueness.com
I just tried this recipie but didn't put it in the oven because i don't know if my pans are made for this. so i just made them on my cooking stove and it worked out pretty well! since i made this as a snack i shared it with my family and they all loved it! thank you so much :)
Hello
I just came across your blog and tried this recipe, but mine turned out much different!
Is this supposed to be thick? Mine turned out very thick and yours look thinner and the texture also looks different.
I had to throw mine in the garbage :(
oh pancake heaven, i'm making this today!
I don't know whether to thank you or curse you. Me and Hubby had one for breakfast, and while we both loved it, the icing on the "pan"cake was that it was also very easy to make. I see a lot of these in our future.
Okay I've decided.
Thank you!!!
I made a mental note to make this yummy (and pretty) breakfast dish when you first posted it. Well, I made it today on this beautiful, snowing, Sunday morning in Southern California. It was delicious! Still in our pj's, with a fire in the fireplace my husband and I enjoyed this delicious baked pancake. Thank you for sharing!
What kind of pan do you use? And how many servings do you get. Looks delish I want to try it this weekend!!!
Looks amazing!!!
What kind of pan do you use and how many servings is this recipe for.
I'm excited about trying it this weekend!!
Thanks so much for posting this recipe! I posted about the mini versions that I made today and I am going to keep this recipe around. They taste great!
