Garden and Pancakes!

Today I planted part of our garden...well Millie helped out some to. We had gotten the plants 2 days ago, today I finally got them in the ground. Since my dad has been so busy working on the house, us girls are doing the garden. Mostly Millie an me though. We aren't planting much this year...


Here is what were planting:

Tomatos
Peppers (3 diff. kinds)
Radish's
Cucumbers
Basil Cilantro
Corn
Lavender
Lambs Ear
Some mixed greens (i planted these this morning, but I doubt they'll show up)
Okra
Sunflowers

And I think ( s t r e c h think) thats it!

Here are some funny pics we took while gardening....

We use this fertilizer called Black Cow....Millie got her hands on a big clump of it...

Oh, for dinner last night I made a breakfast dinner and we had Cottage Cheese Pancakes. They are SOOOOO good! I really dont like Cottage Cheese, but these are the best pancakes I've ever had!

Recipe:

Get ready a large mixing bowl and stir in the following:

4 cups cottage cheese
16 eggs

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup oil

2 cup milk

2 teaspoon vanilla

Mix with electric mixer on low at first, but as batter begins to come together turn speed to high.
Turn skillet on 350 degrees and slowly bake four pancake at a time.
Serves 7-8 people.


Yummy!
Heres some pics....
