Welcome, friend!

Welcome! I’m so happy you’re here – a place all about the little things that fill my cup each day.

Along with a morning dose of coffee, our cups are filled with the adventures of life. While it’s not always the adventure we planned for, I believe there is something good in every ounce of our cups. We have a cup for a reason, and focusing on the little things we often look past can actually make a big difference in all areas of our lives. Whether it’s a good conversation, a relaxing run, a fabulous find, or just a delicious cup of coffee, here’s to finding the daily sunshine to fill your cup!

Fill Your Cup with...a Puff Pancake!

Well, I must say that it's been awhile (again). The busy schedule over the last few weeks has made me neglect my new hobby, as well as, focusing on what fills my cup. I've been able to tell this too, so I'm very thankful for a snow day that has allowed me to take a breath, recharge, and have some me time! I think it's important to take some time for yourself every now and then, and when I do, it usually always involves a new cooking venture! So brace yourself....here comes the first recipe post!

I love to cook and love finding new recipes to try. While I also love to eat, I unfortunately can't eat anything with gluten in it. I found out I had a gluten allergy over 2 years ago, but luckily, almost anything can be made gluten-free! My favorite things to try are sweets and breakfast foods, so today, I combined the best of both worlds and filled my cup with scrumptious chocolate chip pancakes! 

The recipe I used is a version of german puff pancakes, and what drew me to it was making them in the oven -- so simple! Since I'm still making meals for just myself right now (although Joe is a big fan of all of my gluten-free food when we visit each other J), I cut the recipe in half and added some flavor of my own! Here's my chocolate chip pancake recipe:


And here are my step-by-step (well there are a few missing) pictures...along with my amateur photography skills!

...and voilà! The pancake will definitely "puff" up!

I ate mine
(or the "whole" pancake rather because
there isn't anything left J)
with more peanut butter, half a banana, and syrup!

You can double the recipe as many times as you want to make as much as you want, and I promise, these pancakes are delicious, satisfying, and so easy to make! If you try the recipe, please let me know how it turns out -- it will definitely be something that fills my cup!

May your cup always be filled with happiness, joy, and love!
