Everything seems a little more special at Christmastime. It’s full of traditions, lights, great music and great food. We may have just found a new tradition thanks to Hungry Jack!
We love getting together for breakfast (and breakfast for dinner). Did you know that you can use Hungry Jack mix to make more than just pancakes? They sent us some Pumpkin Spice pancake mix and we decided to try something different with it. I went on the search for recipes and found a couple that we wanted to try. We tried Pumpkin Top Cookies and Easy Pumpkin Roll.
Our Easy Pumpkin Roll didn’t turn out as pretty as the picture, but it was a nice try for something different!
The Pumpkin Top Cookies were much easier and I had some help in the kitchen thanks to my girls!
Here’s what you need:
– 1/2 stick Crisco Baking Sticks All-Vegetable Shortening
OR 1/2 cup Crisco All-Vegetable Shortening
-1/4 cup milk
-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-3 cups Hungry Jack Complete Pumpkin Spice Pancake & Waffle Mix
-1 cup powdered sugar
-48 whole roasted almonds
(see full instructions)
I think they turned out great! They were a sweet treat and yielded a good number of cookies. I think the roasted almonds were the perfect topper and a real crowd-pleaser.
This post is sponsored by Hungry Jack, but all opinions are 100% my own.

There are some really fun freebies available right now. We don’t often find freebies for entertainment, so be sure to take advantage of them!
One of my favorites is that Spotify is now available for FREE on mobile devices and tablets. You can download the App for an iOS or Android tablet or smartphone. Spotify is a great way to listen to music for free.
With the free mobile version, you are not able to select the exact song you want to play (like Pandora). You can add songs to playlist and shuffle play albums though. Before Spotify offered free mobile music streaming, users could only listen on a computer for free. You had to pay $10 a month to have access to the service through other devices.
Another great freebie is the full length movie Elf is available for FREE on Google Play. You will add the movie to your Google Play Library. A Google Play account is FREE and you’ll automatically be signed in if you already are signed into your Gmail Account.
Other Freebies
Amazon – Free Allegro Winter Classical MP3 Sampler
Amazon – Just 4 Kids Greatest Hits MP3 Album
Amazon – Razor & Tie Kids Sampler MP3 Album
