Recipes

I despise eggs in pretty much every way, shape, and form. Scrambled, fried, poached, hard boiled...you name it, I hate it. I can appreciate what they do for baking, but that is about as far as I will go to give them any sort of credit. I wish I liked eggs, because it would make my life much easier to eat them, but I just can't. When my mom was pregnant with me she craved eggs and would quite often run home during her lunch (she was a school teacher) to make them. Once, while in a hurry, she burned them. She ate them anyway, and they made her sick and she didn't want eggs again during the pregnancy. I'm pretty sure that this is why I hate eggs. Growing up I hated when mom would cook eggs for breakfast and I especially hated the mornings that she cooked German pancakes. Everyone was so excited and fighting over the corners and I was in my room, trying to block the smell of eggs out. I swore that I would never, ever serve that dish in my house. Then a couple of weeks back I came across my friend Ramanda's blog post about their yummy weekend tradition of German pancakes and her recipe. While I still hate eggs, I love my husband and children and don't want to deprive them of a dish that so many people love. It looked super easy and so I thought that I would give it a shot. I made it Sunday night and they loved it so much that I had to buy eggs on Monday so that they could have it again the next day. I'm afraid that we I may have started something that I can't stop now... Anyway, I have started a new blog that has recipes from me and all my Merrell sisters and mom. I've posted the German pancake recipe on it if anyone else is interested in trying it out. If you have ever given me a recipe in the past don't be surprised if you see it show up on there. Yes Janica, those are your pumpkin bars on there.
