Aunt Michele’s House, Exeter New Hampshire

My Cousin Vincent and Me -- Ready To Dig In!

For Thanksgiving, I went up to New Hampshire to spend it with my grandparents, aunts, uncles and my cousins. We stayed with my Uncle Scott, Aunt Michele and my cousins at their house.  My Aunt Michele likes to try new recipes, and for breakfast she made this delicious recipe that she got from the Food Network’s Paula Deen — and it was YUMMY!

It’s called Baked French Toast Casserole With Maple Syrup and Pralines (Pralines are a candied Pecan and they are AWESOME!!!!)

Here’s the recipe:

Last month, the Sunday Diners crew visited Lancaster PA… where my Grandma and Poppey own a Bed & Breakfast called The EJ Bowman House.  The breakfasts are so amazingly good, that people come from all over the world to have her cooking. When I was there, there were people from drove all the way from Nova Scotia, Canada and Ohio to stay there. People have even come from as far away as Japan, Germany and Ireland!

I got to see my Grandma cook breakfast for the guests, and them join them in the dining room where my Poppey serves and hosts.  Here’s what was on the menu that morning:

Plum Coffee Cake

Peaches with Lemon Mint Creme Anglais and a Raspberry Puree

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes with A Cinnamon Whipped Cream

Maple Glazed Sausages

Here’s a video that my mom took of me chatting with her about today’s breakfast.

If you’re ever in Lancaster, The EJ Bowman House is a great place to stay!

Make sure to tell them that Alex sent you!

New To Chew… Caramel Apple Pancakes!

Welcome to our first Sunday Diners “Special Post” which I call “New To Chew”. This is where you can find cool new recipes and places that I like that are not breakfast joints.

For our first “New To Chew” I wanted to try something that I never had before… Something that you can make in the fall… Caramel Apple Pancakes

I asked my mom to if she could help me make my idea for a recipe for Caramel Apple Pancakes with Warm Caramel Sauce and Apples on Top. She said OK!.  

Here’s the recipe, have fun making it with an adult!

- Slice  2 large Macintosh apples very thin, like paper.

- Prepare two cups of your favorite instant pancake batter prepared. You can use any one that you, mom’s is made by The Barefoot Contessa.
- Pour pancake batter onto griddle
- Layer  in the very thin slices of apple – Don’t use them all!

- Cook your pancake as like it

Next…
- Sauté the remaining apple slices in a pan with butter, cinnamon and a pinch of salt

- We didn’t have time to make our own caramel sauce, because we were going to New  York today for the Medieval Festival at the Cloisters.

- So, mom bought some from Stonewall Kitchen

- Put cooked apples onto pancakes

- Warm up the caramel sauce in microwave and then and pour onto pancakes

- Makes six pancakes or three servings

Sometimes the best breakfasts start right at home!
