31Days to #ASimplerJoy: I Flipped for This!

31 Days to #ASimplerJoy

It is one of the few items I purchased this year in person, and not online: I love my griddle!  It looks like I said girdle…and maybe I need one of those too.  But no — I said griddle.  An Oster DuraCeramic Griddle, to be precise.

Oster Griddle

I LOVE this appliance!  We really like to have breakfast for dinner and I almost always make buttermilk pancakes (recipe coming soon!).  But for the longest time I had two skillets going at the same time to get dinner on the table quickly.  I always make a big batch of pancakes (about 15 big ones), so waiting for one pancake at a time makes me plumb crazy, y’all!

I decided I needed a griddle so I could make two at a time more easily.  Well, bonus!  I can fit three at a time on this griddle!  Pardon my photography…that fell off my to do list so long ago, it’s not even funny <sigh>.

Recently, I used it to make two quesadillas at a time, and that worked like a charm — except — no photos.  I am definitely a work in progress.

This griddle was not an impulse purchase.  What does that say about me…that I need to mention that?  It was actually a birthday present!  I read about griddles and compared griddles and shopped for griddles, until I settled on this one.  And here’s why:

  • It is BIG (see above comments).
  • It has a non-stick surface, but is NOT coated with teflon.  So no flaking, no requirement to cook on medium, no unwanted chemicals in the food.
  • It has its own heat source, so it is portable and it won’t scratch my glass cooktop (like a stovetop griddle).
  • It does not require “seasoning” like a cast iron griddle; it is ready to go immediately.
  • It was only about $30 at my local Walmart.

I really appreciate modern conveniences.  And I like to get the cooking done and get down to eating; that’s why my griddle is #ASimplerJoy for me.  Sometimes it really IS the little things, people.

Do you eat breakfast for dinner at your house?  Pancakes?  Do you cook on a griddle?  Or wear a girdle?  😛 Just kidding…

        Yes they do!! I found one very modestly priced at HomeGoods in Peoria which always has the best clearance items.

When the first day of school is also the day your When the first day of school is also the day your firstborn drives herself to college, it’s a lot. We moved her stuff into her dorm last week. Today she got up early to say goodbye to Dad (too early! Not pictured 😂), her brother, her doggo, her piano, and her momma. Before she left, she made blueberry scones to share with her little bro @sjoshlafont —they homeschool and relocated together, went to @westminsteroakmtn together, and have shared a love of music, Legos, superheroes (and villains), Transformers, and so much more. She played my favorite song. She even made banana bread to bring to her new roomie. @graciethenerd You are my little nut brown hare, and I love you to the moon and back. Auburn University is a better place because you are there! ❤️
