For Christmas this last year my mom (or Santa?) gave me a set of red ramekins. I have a thing for red kitchen items, so this was the perfect present. However, 5 months have passed and my cute red ramekins were still sitting in their packaging untouched. I decided this morning was the morning to put these guys to work.
I found this recipe for Dutch Babies and decided it would make the perfect breakfast this morning. I was no misled in the slightest. I literally burst out giggling when I pulled them out of the oven because they looked so comical, puffed up so high.

Thank you for linking up this week. I smiled at the image of you laughing after pulling these from the oven. I can see how they would produce a laugh. Fun food!
