Breakfast Faire

Can't even tell you how good this is.   We made these German Apple Pancakes in muffin tins (with a little help) which are pretty easy and fun to do because they puff up during the last five minutes of baking in a really dramatic way as you can see.  The recipe was originally featured in the Winter 2005 issue of KIDS, page 48, with cute step-by-step pictures and directions. 

 

 

 

 

We had a couple of visitors right in the middle of things though.  These two have been hanging around quite a bit, peering into windows, curious about the humans inside.  Took this picture through the window.  Just look how this one is staring.  I wonder what they are thinking at times like this. 

 

Maybe they'd like to be invited in to join us for breakfast. 

 

 I'm sure one of us would be delighted by this prospect!

I had to laugh when I clicked over here immediately after hitting the publish button on a post with a similar picture of deer, not to mention picutures of how my versions of your little pumpkins turned out. I like to complain about how they wreak havoc in the garden but I wouldn't trade getting to watch the deer outside the windows nearly every morning at breakfast as well as throughout the day and night.
Your quiche sounds scrumptious. Ah, to be able to run down and pick up fresh crab at the market! Lucky you. The muffins/pancakes look delicious, too.

How about a Double Double Bacon Cheese Quiche for the letter D? Here's the link. http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_33379,00.html?rsrc=search

Maybe they think they've come to the zoo to watch the humans?

They're thinking the same thing I am:

"I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry..."

(It's all the yummy scents lofting up from the house.)

Hello, Vicki!
Those muffins look good enough to try myself!!
Yum!
Love the photos of the backyard visitors..I had four of their relatives visit my yard last week. I have been watching ever since that day..to see if they will return. We had evidence of visits all summer long in the garden plot.
I thought of you this weekend while at a quilter's retreat. Stop in sometime and see the posts about it.
Have a good week!

Duck? Roasted duck quiche? Sounds rather Decadent....

[Mrs. Staggs]

Those deer are so beautiful.
It's been really rainy here all weekend too, but nothing like this morning. It's comming down in buckets, but the winds they've mentioned haven't arrived yet.
I like to use this month to prepare for the holidays too, but I confess to already feeling a little bit overwhelmed by all of the commercial aspects of it all. Christmas carols were already playing in two stores that I went into the other day!
Love these sweet photos of the littlest chef! I sometimes make German pancakes too. Great big ones. I never thought to make small ones. I'm going to give it a try!

I've been cooking right along with you, but I'm not sure I can get the crab past the sweetie. Will have to think about the "D" quiche myself, and will pass it along if I think of something.

The apple pancakes will be made this weekend! Yummy! Always find such inspiration here, thanks!

[Paula]

MMmm...I think maybe Crab Quiche will be on my menu this coming weekend. My DH would be putty in my hands...

I just adore the view from your window! Trains - do you collect Hornby? The kids have a hornby train set from when they were kids and we went to a few model shows. They are so inspiring seeing all these big layouts with scenery and everything.
