Apple Cinnamon Pancake Mix...In a Jar!

3 cups flour
4 tsp. cinnamon
2 1/4 T sugar
2 T baking powder
1 1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup dried apple pieces

Mix all ingredients together until blended well. Place in a 1 quart (wide-mouth) canning jar. Attach a gift tag with instructions.

To make, combine 3/4 cup milk, 1 egg, and 2 T vegetable oil in a medium bowl. Whisk in the pancake mix, and mix until moistened but still lumpy. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour batter, 1/4 cup at a time, onto the prepared griddle. Cook on both sides until golden brown.

The "AWS-ome" Special

My brother-in-law, Andy, came up with this recipe. He declares that, "It's delicious! It's so good, I couldn't not take a picture of it." Due to the graphic content of his egg photo, I will direct you here.

1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 tbsp. salsa, (I like Mrs. Renfro's Chipotle Corn Salsa)
3 eggs, fried over easy

Microwave beans and salsa until warm. Fry eggs over easy. Serve over the bean/salsa mixture.
