Inquiring Minds Want to Know!

Mmmm....Danish Aebleskiver!  Pure Yumminess!

I thought I would share with you one of my favorite recipes from when I was a little girl. (and frankly, still is my favorite!)  They melt in your mouth and are super easy to make!  Drizzled with warm syrup or sprinkled with powder sugar, I dare you to not eat a dozen of them!

So, here you go!

Danish Aebleskiver
(Makes about 40 balls)

5 eggs
2 cups Bisquick baking mix
3/4 cup milk
Confectioners' sugar
Sweetened berries
Syrup

Butter each cup in Danish Aebleskiver pan.  In large mixer bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff but not dry.  In small mixer bowl, blend egg yolks, baking mix and milk on low speed.  Fold egg yolk mixture carefully into egg whites.

Heat pan over medium heat.  Pour batter into cups to 2/3 full.  Cook until surface is bubbly and underside is light brown.  Turn carefully (I use a fork). 

Cook until golden brown on other side.  Sprinkle balls with confectioners' sugar and serve warm with berries or syrup. 

Enjoy!

Rub A Dub...It's time for a Scrub!

This one is for all you ladies out there!  Have I got a recipe for you! 

This won't be your traditional recipe for something yummy to eat, but rather for something yummy to use in the shower.   It's an amazing body scrub! 

I made this for the ladies in my family for Christmas and they LOVED how it left their skin.  It's super easy to make as the ingredients are all ones that you have in your everyday pantry....so what are you waiting for?  Scrub away!!

Brown Sugar Body Scrub

1/4 C brown sugar
1/4 C white sugar
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t ground ginger
1/2 t ground cloves

Oil: olive oil*, almond oil, grape seed oil, apricot oil, jojoba, etc.

optional: a few drops of essential oil, such as cinnamon

*I use light olive oil for my sugar scrubs

Directions: Combine everything but oil in a bowl and then add in oil and stir to combine. I suggest starting with just part of the oil and adding it until it's the consistency you want it. Store in a container with a lid. I suggest keeping it in the fridge if you have left overs, it should last quite a while. Stop using it if it smells gross :)

For Use: Soap off in the shower so you have clean skin. Stir the sugar scrub and then massage into skin in circular motions for several minutes. I use it from my neck all the way down to my toes. After rinsing, if your skin feels too oily you can use a little bit of soap to wash it off. I personally leave it. By the time I finish my shower it doesn't feel too oily anymore and it adds to the benefits of a sugar scrub. It will trap in the moisture and make your skin so soft and smooth. After you get out of the shower, slather on some lotion and try to keep everyone from touching you!
