UPDATE: 

Yes! To-Do List Accomplished!

So obviously the question remains – what is a baked cranberry pancake? Well, it is exactly what is sounds like! Nothing fancy today – the to-do list is simple for a reason, I need to feel accomplished today.

Here’s the thing – I’m a terrible, horrible no-good pancake maker. Flip too soon, flip too late, flip too many times. I never get it right. While scrolling through my Insta feed I came across a recipe for a fluffy baked blueberry pancake and decided to go for it. Why did I never think of baking a pancake before?

Two cups of bisquick – make the pancakes according to the recipe – except I added two more eggs. And a bag of frozen cranberries and walnuts And baked in a pre-heated cast iron pan – for 30 minutes. It took longer than I thought – and wasn’t really fluffy. HWMMS wasn’t a fan of the super tart cranberries – thought there were too many and would have preferred dried ones instead and wanted smaller pieces of walnuts.

AND I couldn’t find the darn maple syrup in the pantry – despite looking twice and HWMMS looking as well – I KNOW IT IS IN THERE SOMEWHERE I SAID – but I gave up and used a bit of corn syrup instead. HWMMS did not partake in this experiment – his loss. I enjoy the tart cranberries though and thought breakfast was a win. AND I crossed it off my list — then headed for a shower.

After a nice long hot shower – which also involved me realizing how disgusting the shower looked and made me remove the shower curtain and scrub the tub and toilet (aside – ADD CLEAN BATHROOM TO THE TO-DO LIST TO CROSS OFF*) I headed to the bedroom for a pair of socks – my feets were cold – it’s 20 something degrees outside, but I somehow accidentally ended up under the covers and well, this happened…so, naptime** it is obviously.

Oh and update on the update – I found the maple syrup.
