Good day my friends! Did I ever tell you that I got featured in a magazine?
Yeah, it was back in 2015. I was contacted by a small independent new magazine called Spoonful Mag. You can see more about it on their website
It was such a fun experience. I got to make stacks and stacks of waffles and pancakes for a full outdoor photoshoot with my family. I mixed tons of fun flavors together for toppings and syrups. Everyone loved them.
Now, while I can't share the full article I thought I'd give you all a little peek of what was in it and include some of the leftover photos from it. If you want to read the full article you can purchase a copy of it - Summer 2016 – Volume One, Issue Two – “Dog Days”, or you can even get a yearly subscription.
And surprise! I'm sharing one of the recipes from the article.
Bourbon Caramel & Bacon Buttermilk Pancakes
Serves 3-4
Total Cooking Time: 50 minutes
Active Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Bourbon Caramel:
1 ¾ cups dark brown sugar
1 cup whole milk
¼ butter
2 tablespoons honey
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Bacon Buttermilk Pancakes:
1 pound uncooked bacon
1 cup + 2 tablespoons prepared pancake mix
1 egg
3 tablespoons reserved bacon grease
⅔ cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon prepared bourbon caramel
Method:
Bourbon Caramel:
Combine brown sugar, butter, milk, honey, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Bring to a soft boil and stir occasionally, scraping sugar from sides of pan, for about 10 minutes until it starts to get thick and develop a dark amber color. Add cream and bourbon and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 5 minutes until sauce is thickened, then stir in vanilla and cool. Store in an airtight container until in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Bacon Buttermilk Pancakes:
Cook bacon in a medium skillet until crispy. Remove to paper towel lined plate and pour grease into a glass mixing bowl. Crumble bacon and set aside for later.
Add buttermilk and caramel to mixing bowl and mix until smooth. Whisk in egg, then add pancake mix and stir until smooth.
Heat a griddle over medium high heat and grease lightly. Pour about ¼ of batter per pancake, leaving about 2 inches between for flipping room. Cook pancakes for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until lightly browned.
Serve pancakes topped with bacon crumbles and warmed caramel.
Later I'll share the recipe for the mentioned "pancake mix" from this recipe and I just might share a little bit more if you guys are interested!

Hi steemian i just made a new content try to see https://steemit.com/@bangjal
Thanks @bangjal.
Likewise @gringalicious, good day to you. Wow, good thing you mention this. It means that you're not just an ordinary woman but a woman with popular personalities.
Thanks so much @juvyjabian, those are very, very nice words
You have an amazing sense of displaying food, almost in a theme manner and then taking excellent pics. I just love it.
I'm absolutely flattered @siddartha. Thank you!
@goatgarden and i are both looking at this post. Before breakfast. Suddenly the bacon and eggs i had planned, again, seem insufficient. Lol
Haha, well I'll both apologize for it and accept it as a compliment. Thank you @clickinchicken and @goatgarden!
And wow! What a great experience for you! Beautiful pictures! You are very talented.
This will be the first meal I make after I'm done dieting.
Thanks for this!! :D
Hope you enjoy it @ikigai!
That's right @gringalicious, it's fantastic that you don't hide your recipes any more! 😊
Are the photos yours, or there was a magazine photographer?
Nope, all the photos are mine taken by me. With the exception of the magazine cover and the one of me of course. My sister took the ones of me. Thanks @photo-trail.
Then you are going to DPS, of course 😊
What is DPS, may I ask?
Daily Photo Selection.
I'm sorry you felt it necessary to say "it's fantastic that you don't hide your recipes any more! 😊" I just want you to know that I have never 'hidden' recipes, they have ALWAYS been available upon request and will continue to be. My reasoning is to encourage engagement. I do appreciate your support and comments. Thanks for your understanding.
Wow. The pictures look heavenly. I can't cook but surely I would love to taste those pancakes. Good Post. Cheers!!!!
Thanks @tamsguitar!
Wow, what a perfect thing to read in the morning, those pictures are awesome and now I'm starving :) I'm actually here because I read @liliana.duarte's raving review of you on the user chain. I thought your name sounded familiar, I know you from @rigaronib's posts...you once told me that I sounded like your mom LOL.
First time someone's ever said that to me, makes you unforgettable ;)
That's awesome you were in a magazine. I will definitely be checking out more of your stuff after this :)
Wow, I can't believe you remember that comment, haha. Thank you so much @dreemit I'm so happy you like my post.

@gringalicious, anything bacon is worth a resteem. Take care beautiful.
I agree, bacon rules. Thanks so much for commenting @runridefly
looks delicious with a cup of coffee
Oh, with coffee, I can smell it now, just an amazing idea
Good on ya! Stacks on stacks, did you just straight up stand on the table for those overhead shots? How'd you deal with shadows in the afternoon like that? Great shots!!
Yes, up on chairs and make shift ladders, it is very comical actually. I have two big windows that face East, so I am getting all natural light that does't shine. I always try to shoot during 'magic' hour.
Good call, good call.
