Tile Day

Does anyone remember that I'm tiling a tub surround ? Well I am trying to tile a tub surround but it seems other things in life are taking over and I must be the slowest tiler in history , I really don't mind it that much because.  I  Hate Tiling ! I can sit here and tell you a gazillion things I would rather be doing than fighting uneven walls. , uneven tiles that aren't glued on the grid straight and  15 minute set glue . So this is where I am at so far and keep in mind I have changed the design about. 6 times . 

And don't ask me what I am going to put inside if the square because that was just done on a whim  . So stay tuned 

Upside Down Blueberry Pancake

This is what we had for breakfast this morning and it was super easy . 

Canned blueberries  or  you can use fresh blueberries 

Pancake mix

I did make mine a little too thick abd would have loved to show you what it looks like flipped over on a platter but mine was more like a cake  because I thought more was better . Wrong . Remember to only use 1 cup of your favorite pancake batter and you can also make your own  batter if you like. 

Start off by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a cake or pie pan . I just put it in the preheated oven until melted . 

Pour  (1) 16 ounce can of blueberries over the butter and spread evenly. I used blueberry pie filling since it is my daughters favorite but next time I am going to try fresh blueberries 

Pour 1 cup of the prepared pancake batter over the blueberries and bake at  350 degrees until done and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean . 

Recipe

2 cup pancake mix

Making Carrots

I found some organic carrots at my local grocery store and decided to try something different which involves pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds and some other seeds .

I kept the carrots whole and peeled and snipped off the tops  .Let them sit in the counter and dry off a little because you will be using parchment paper 

Drizzle the carrots with olive oil and sprinkle pumpkin , sunflower. Hemp, seseme seeds and sprinkle on some cumin salt and pepper

Bake at 400 degrees until fork tender stirring about every 15 minutes 

You have these beautiful carrots packed with flavor
