It snowed last week. No.
Although I guess if I had a glass of this holiday spiced mulled wine I MIGHT not have been so annoyed. That’s a lie. I probably would have been annoyed BUT I would have been a lot happier because this holiday spiced mulled wine is awwwwwwwwsome! I mean to be fair I’m pretty much on board with anything that involves wine. I’m such a sucker for those boozy little grapes.
Ohhhhh you guys! I totally almost forgot. We adopted another cat!!! Her name is Cinnamon and we are calling her Cyn for short. She is a Torbie and she is awesome. She got her teeth cleaned today (which involves anesthesia) so she is currently staring at the wall like a complete weirdo BUT I have hopes she will be normal in the morning. Although I’m slightly annoyed at the shelter we adopted her from. When we got her they said she was probably somewhere around 3-5 years old. As soon as my vet saw her she was all “ummm, there is no way this cat is 3-5 years old. Honestly, she is probably more like 10 years old.” Um, what? I’m not going to take her back (I’m not a monster and I already love her) but WHAT THE HECK! I know aging a cat isn’t an exact science but COME ON! Being off by that many years is sorta misleading. I’m debating calling the shelter and letting them know.
We’ll see.
Here is a picture of her adorable face. She is seriously soooooo sweet! Plus her little orange spot on the top of her head makes me swoon.
Now you know I’ve been working with American Kitchen this year and this beautiful little libation was made for them and (as previously discussed!) you’ll love it! I used their 6-quart premium stainless steel stock pot and it was the perfect size for this cocktail. PLUS this handles stay cool – YES!

Yuuuuum! You can’t go wrong with bacon!
Oh, for crying out loud! I’ve put apples in my pancakes for years, but I never thought to PUT IN BACON!! Now I have to do this, and soon! My husband thanks you from the bottom of his bacon-loving heart.

Hahaha well I hope you like it! Bacon and apples are totally best friends 🙂
Brandy, thanks so much for being a part of this! Bacon and apple are a match made in heaven! Can’t wait to make these!
Love bacon and apples together! Such a smart idea. Making this one for my nephews next time they visit.
I can’t resist bacon! Almost added to my Savory Spinach Pancakes, and now wish I had. Your Bacon Apple Pancakes look Amazing! Photos are beautiful too!
what a GREAT idea! I’ve made apple pancakes, but never even considered adding bacon. Can’t wait to try it 🙂
This is like the holy trinity of breakfast food – bacon, apple and carbs all topped on high with syrup – girl, I love you, Amen.
Wow! Those pancakes sound soooooo good! Totally bookmarking and trying these 🙂
I loove crispy bacon and so much more I love crispy edges pancakes …my kind of girl! Thanks for the recipe
It’s always such a happy surprise when a restaurant meal leaves such a good impression! I could see this sweet and salty being amazing.
I adore these. Sweet and Salty is my favorite combo of all time so they are calling my name too!!
i simply can’t name a favorite recipe using yogurt–i tend to slip it into everything! now pancakes, i have not tried. it’s definitely worth a go, especially if bacon is also involved. 🙂
The apple bacon pancake will soon be my favorite recipe…must go purchase bacon!
no favorite recipe with yogurt as i tend to put it in many different baked goods. and of course there is eating it w/ some fresh fruit which is great also.
Looks AWESOME!! going to share this with my bacon loving aunt and grandmother!
also, I love making fruit dip with stonyfield greek yogurt, add a little marshmallow fluff and voila!
I make a fake cheesecake bars with yogurt and they are delicious but half the fat and calories.
Yum! I’d love to make these this weekend
Chocolate cheesecake
My favourite recipe using yogurt is mago lassi! They are so tasty!
I love to use yogurt in place of mayo in many recipes.
Looks fantastic!
Mmmm, must smell as great as they taste!
This looks amazing. I might just take this recipe and have a nice brunch with my hubby. He loves bacon, and this recipe is perfect for fall!
Looks awesome… went looking for new breakfast ideas. Love this one. I have done bacon inside waffles before but not inside pancakes. Can’t wait to try it.
I think you were at our restaurant in Aruba, Linda’s Dutch Pancakes. I am happy to read you enjoyed it so much that it inspired you to make a new recipe! Greetings from Aruba!

Yes! That is where I dined! I’m so happy you found my blog 🙂 How did you find me post? I still dream about your pancakes….so delicious!
I was just googling our name and our most popular pancakes, and your blog popped up. I hope you can make it to Aruba again soon. Your apple bacon pancake will be ready!
