This is also an inspiration from my latest trip. This was one of my favorites from the entire vacation. I was so inspired that since, I returned I have been baking all kinds of fruits. I have been stuffing and baking apples and trying all different kinds of varieties. Tonight, I baked an apple filled with diced plums. These baked pears I think are a perfect way to end any dinner light or heavy and perfectly simple too!
3 to 4 Pears (cut in half with core removed- I used an ice cream scoop)
1 Bottle of Red Wine
1 Cup of Sugar
1/4 Cup of Honey
1 -2 Teaspoons of Cinnamon
In a Pyrex baking dish evenly spread sugar on bottom of the dish and place pears cut side down. Drizzle honey over the pears and pour red wine in dish. Finish by sprinkling cinnamon over the pears and bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees. Serve with either: Chocolate Sauce, Vanilla Ice Cream, or Whipped Cream

So my latest kick is pancakes. I have no idea why to be perfectly honest. This past weekend, I was the person to know as I was making different batters of pancakes every morning. I had forgotten how simple it is to make fresh pancakes in morning and yet it is such a treat!
Pancakes
1 1/3 cups Flour
¼ Cup Sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 Teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups fresh blueberries (optional)
In a bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs. Stir into dry ingredients until batter is smooth. Optional fold in berries.
Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat; brush with butter or vegetable oil. Drop batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto skillet. Cook pancakes until brown, brushing griddle with more butter/vegetable oil as needed, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to sheet in oven to keep warm.
Serve pancakes with maple syrup.
