The Librarian and The Soldier

  I love wreaths! I really really do! I have quite a few but not as many as I would like, and one that I don’t have is a Valentine’s Wreath so of course I had to make one. Unfortunately, I don’t have any wreath bases right now and I really did not want to go out and get one so I started looking around for something I could use and I found a delightful frame that has been sitting unused for the past two years. I gathered all my materials, mostly a whole lot of left over greenery and a few Valentine’s colored flowers and set to work. First I started by trimming the leaf groups as well as separating some into singles and started hot gluing them on the frame. I wanted my leaves to go in the same direction so I was very aware of how I glued them to the frame. This uses soooooo many more leaves than you think it will. All of mine are left over from other projects but you can always buy greenery and clip it apart as well. As you continue to cover the frame little ones and twos are helpful for

  These pancakes are by far my favorite pancakes ever.  A lady I used to babysit for got the recipe from her Swedish Grandmother who would make them every Sunday after church.  The texture and taste of these pancakes is somewhere between a crepe and an American pancake.  They can be made gluten free and/or dairy free.  They taste wonderful made with oat milk and coconut milk yogurt.  The best part about these is that everything gets tossed in a blender so only 2 dishes to wash!! Once everything has been blended be sure your pan is on medium, a slightly lower temperature is better as these will burn quickly and take a little longer to firm up before flipping.  If the temperature is right tiny bubbles will appear around the outside of the pancake, wait to flip until the bubbles begin to appear towards the center.  It should be beautifully golden.  Give the second side just a few seconds to get a little color on it and it's good to go!       These pancakes are beyond delicious warm fr
