Ebelskivers


There are lots of Ebelskiver recipes out there. This is the one I grew up with. We always eat these on Conference Weekend!

3 Eggs separated, yolks and whites
2 Cups Buttermilk
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 Cups Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder

Beat egg yolks, sugar, salt, and buttermilk together.
Sift in flour, soda and powder.
Stiffly beat egg whites and fold into mixture.

Put your ebelskiver pan on med or med/low heat and let it heat up. Spray with cooking spray. Spoon the dough into the pan until it is a little below reaching the top. Let it cook like pancake, until it starts to bubble. Take a fork and grasp the edge and turn it over to cook on the other side.

Make sure they're fully cooked in the middle. If they're not turn your burner down a little bit so that you can cook them longer so that it cooks the inside all the way.

Top with Syrup, jam, or just plain butter. Yum, yum, yum!!!

Mexican Style Chicken Salad


Found this on pinterest and LOVED IT. It didn't have the measurements so here is what I did!!!

3 Cups chicken, cooked and shredded
3 small avocado
1/4 Cup Mayo
1/4 Cup Sour Cream
3 green onions chopped
1/2 bunch of cilantro chopped
Juice from 2 fresh limes
Salt. Prob about a 1/4 tsp or to taste.

Mash it all up and stir it together.

Eat it plain with tortilla chips like a dip, or wrapped in a tortilla. So so yummy.
