Surprise!!!! 
The family party I went to yesterday was a surprise party for my aunt’s 60th birthday. Oddly, Ben looks more surprised than her! 
It’s No Surprise a Mexican party will have amazing Mexican food. I piled my plate high with everything. Rice, macaroni salad, beans, meat, pasta salad and rolls. I went back for seconds of everything 🙂 It was homemade by my cousin – couldn’t resist!
It’s also No Surprise that I enjoyed a big piece of cake. My fam ordered a Costco cake and I’m a fan. 
Normally I like the cake part more than the frosting, but last night I was sneaking swipes of frosting every time I passed by the cake table! Tip: Order the whipped frosting, not the other one.
It’s No Surprise today is Pancake Sunday!
I took the pictures outside, but didn’t eat out here 
It’s just that my iced coffee cup is so BIG I need to get 5 feet away to get it in the shot!
In the pumpkin pancakes: 1/2c egg beaters, 1/4c pumpkin, 1/3c ww pastry flour, dash of each: salt, pumpkin pie spice, sugar, baking soda and baking powder. Blend. Cook. Eat.
I mixed a tablespoon of peanut flour into 2 tablespoons of syrup for the topping. 
It’s no surprise Sunday is my rest day. That’s the way God wants it so I respect that 
^^^ That’s an old picture where I randomly look surprised, not sure why. I guess it’s No Surprise that I’m weird.
Oh my gee.. all of that food looks so good! Home cooking is the best.
The frosting of the cake is always my favourite part!!
I’m like that with cream cheese frosting on carrot or red velvet cake. So. freaking. good.
I love, love, love authentic Mexican food. So my favorite!
And you’re so right about Costco cakes. The whipped frosting is amazing. They really should package and sell tubs of that.
I know Costco is not a fancy name brand, but they are soo good. I know where I am getting my wedding cake from!
I love Mexican food so much. My kids too…so much so that my oldest son tells everyone he’s Mexican. (We’re not). Haha!
Store bought birthday cake is my absolute downfall. I want to bathe in that icing! YUM!
lol, it’s no surprise that I love all of your posts! But especially this one. How can one go wrong with surprises and pancakes? 🙂
Yum, the party food looks so good. Happy birthday to your aunt!!
I prefer whipped cream over butter cream. Butter cream is kind of heavy!
Costco cake is the best!
