Light It Up

Got this fabulous lamp at an auction for $50! 
We plan to put a leather-look shade on it instead of the copper star shade that came with it.

Egg Nog Pancakes

Update - photos of our Christmas pancakes.
 


This is as close of a copycat recipe as we could get to the IHOP Eggnog Pancakes that we ate before Thanksgiving. 

Pancakes
Syrup
Whipped Cream
Eggnog Cream (recipe below)
Nutmeg & Chopped nuts for garnish

Eggnog Cream Recipe
Eggnog
Instant pudding (we used cheesecake flavor, but french vanilla or vanilla might be a little less rich)
Mix the pudding mix with as much eggnong as the mix calls for.  We used 2 cups of eggnog instead of 2 cups of milk for the small package instructions.

Slather the pancakes with the eggnog cream, drizzle with syrup.  Top with whipped cream and garnish with chopped nuts and nutmeg.
