Fluffy Lemon-Ricotta Pancakes

Midweek wins: holly and pine trimmings have been picked up and placed in the perfect spots (by Moses) in our apartment, all of Moses' birthday presents are ordered and should be delivered before his birthday on Saturday (fingers crossed), bangs/fringe were trimmed on Monday (I can see again), and my Christmas pjs arrived and are actually and shockingly the perfect length (thanks J.Crew for showing petites some love)! Other wins worth mentioning: I won my Fantasy matchup for the week, beat my alarm yesterday (not today tho), and I made these super quick and easy and FLUFFFY pancakes from my girl, Adrianna's new A Cozy Coloring Cookbook!! 

Do you feel like you're not a coloring book kind of person? Maybe like you don't know why adults love coloring so much nowadays... well I was more or less in the same boat until this book came into my life. Guys, coloring is so fun. And it's calming, and seeing those pages colored in is weirdly super gratifying. And then pair that with the fact that this book's got 40 fun and simple recipes to go with all those beautifully, newly colored pages! Well, as if I didn't have enough gift ideas, now I want to buy this book for all my family and friends. And maybe a really rad set of color pencils. Ok, definitely with a really good set, cause guys I have 24 colors and trust me, that's not enough. Oh well, at least I've got pancakes! ;)
