Fathers Day

Chris' 1st Fathers Day...

Originally I was going to make Chris "mancakes" for breakfast.
(mancakes: large pancakes layered with man food 
ie sausage, bacon, & eggs
but when I found this cute room service tag I had to come up with a few more options. 
And then I found another cute idea, 
& I knew if I combined beer and bacon there was no way he would pass it up :)
I was right!
Cam & I were going to serve him breakfast in bed, 
but while I was whipping up miniature pancakes Cambpell was busy pooping on his dad.
Happy Fathers Day right?!
:)
Here is the yummy recipe:
Ingredients
1/2 lb bacon (8 slices)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups Original Bisquick® mix
1 cup of your favorite regular or nonalcoholic beer
2 eggs
Directions
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with foil. Place wire rack on top of cookie sheet. Arrange bacon in single layer on top of rack. Bake 10 minutes.

2. Sprinkle bacon with half the brown sugar. Bake 10 minutes longer. Turn bacon over; sprinkle with remaining brown sugar. Bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until golden brown. Remove from rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes. Crumble bacon into small pieces; set aside.

3. Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat or electric griddle to 375°F; grease with vegetable oil or shortening.

4. In medium bowl, beat Bisquick mix, beer and eggs with whisk until blended. If batter is too thick, add additional beer until desired consistency. Stir in bacon. Pour by 1/2 cupfuls onto hot griddle. Cook until edges are dry. Turn; cook until golden brown.
I served the syrup in a beer bottle for extra fun!

After lunch at his moms, we met up with his dad Barry for Dinner & a baseball game.
 Is there anything better than taking your son to his first minor league baseball game on your first Fathers Day? Doubt it.
He ended the day putting his sweet boy to sleep... 
after another poop explosion.
