Do you want to hear something scary
I mean REALLY scary
It is December 15th.
That means I have exactly 9 days to get everything ready for Christmas.

9 days people! If you’re not scared, I’m sure that I am scared enough for all of us. I am NOT ready.
REALLY not ready
No wreath
No tree
Cards NOT addressed
All that changes today.
Today Christmas will come to the Kinnaird house.
I may not unpack
I will probably look like I just got off a plane {I will be sharing ALL about my Pillsbury trip later this week}
My inbox will be ignored for yet another day
BUT…
We will deck the halls
make merry
and eat chocolate gingerbread pancakes

These look incredible! I love gingerbread pancakes!

These look so dark and sinful, I’m in love! Gotta get these for breakfast, monster yum!

I have made these pancakes before and again this morning with a few variations. King Arthur Unbleached white flour, buttermilk and half butter peanut butter (I love peanut butter so I sorta add it most times when butter or oil is called) they were amazing!
Thank you. I made your snicker doodle pancakes last week and decided to add the cinnamon sugar topping to theses. So good ! Thanks again
Jean
