Elephant Ears!

So this weekend, I was a huge slacker. Pretty much the extent of my cooking was just stirring sugar in my coffee! I spent a lot of time on the go with my parents, so that meant less time at home. We went to see Goodnight Moon at Hollins University on Sat. It was pretty cute - I have to admit, I'm impressed. Anyone who can take such a boring book (just being honest - the book where NOTHING happens!) and turn it into a little musical that actually has characters is pretty talented. :) Then yesterday, Elijah had Preschool Sunday at his preschool where they had breakfast for us and then the kids sang a couple songs in the church service. Then we rushed home, changed, and headed to the circus! We even took Isaiah (left Jonah home with Daddy, though). I'm glad we did. He was a little restless towards the end, but for the most part, he was fascinated! Clapping his hands, cheering... It was a lot of fun! Elijah's favorite parts of the circus were the performers with the swords and then elephants. So, in honor of his favorite circus animal, our recipe of the day is Elephant Ears! If you've never had one, they're really good! I remember I'd get one as a special treat every now and then when I was out with my Daddy.
Another plus about this recipe? Remember the other day when we made the tortilla casserole? We only used half a pack of tortillas. If you still have them, you can use the leftover tortillas to make this quick version of Elephant Ears. (A longer version would be actually making the dough & all yourself. Feel free to do that if you want, but I'm all about fast & easy!)

Elephant Ears

5 tortillas
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
oil for frying

Mix together cinnamon & sugar and set aside. In a skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of oil. Fry one tortilla at a time in the oil, browning on each side. Coat with the cinnamon/sugar mixture & serve immediately. Enjoy! :)
