A Breakfast Favorite: Dutch Babies

I must admit, before making this recipe, I had never heard of, or had, Dutch babies--also known as German pancakes.  Let me tell you.... this for sure, makes it on to my favorite breakfast foods list.  These delights are a breeze to make, and such a special treat!  Dutch babies can be topped with anything you would like--sweet or savory.  I went the sweet route and whipped up some spiced cream cheese maple whipped cream (try and say that 5 times fast!)  Oh yes, it is as good as it sounds!

Seriously Funny Sounding Dishes: Toad In The Hole

Today I've decided to introduce a new a category of posts to this site I call a food blog. "Seriously Funny Sounding Dishes" it will be called. That's because if you're like me, you may have always wondered what dishes like, "Toad In The Hole" in the were.

Now, you're in luck because occasionally we might post a "Spotted Dick" or a variation of. Not today though because up to bat right now is one I know I've always wondered about. It's the one and only Toad In The Hole hailing all the way from our friends across the sea, none other than the English. It is very English indeed, from Yorkshire to be exact. There's apparently some history to this dish as it goes all the way back to 1861 and no there are no toad parts in this dish so you can all breathe a sigh of relief. Although, truth be toad.. (forgive my crazy sense of humor) those sausages in the batter could almost be mistaken for a toad. Without further ado I present to you the recipe for Toad In The Hole.
