I love pancakes but after reading that they are the 'black hole of breakfast food' once in a magazine, I was slightly turned off. Not that I can't indulge every now and again (I have been known to indulge far too often to begin with!) but that phrase (sadly) really stuck with me.
I found a healthier way to make pancakes and have been pretty obsessed with them ever since. I tweaked the recipe which also called for some sugar and salt, by completely removing them, and it's fine (and healthier). Whenever I have fresh fruit, I love to throw that in too.
Happy weekend!
You will need:
1 Cup Whole wheat flour
1 Cup Milk
1 Egg
1 tbsp. Baking Powder
Strawberries (as many as you'd like, I used half a pint)
How to:
1. Mix the first four ingredients
2. Once blended, add the strawberries
3. Heat frying pan and throw in some butter so the 'cakes won't stick
4. Pour pancake mix into pan (I like making 3 at a time)
5. Flip when the bottom is browned or the top starts to bubble a bit
6. When both sides are browned, they are ready
7. Serve with real maple syrup

This little munchkin has been staying with us for a week and while she's a little mischief maker (examples: tipping over garbage pails, lots of barking when she wants to get up on and off the bed, constantly looking for treats to sneak, etc.) she's such a cutie and I love her so much. Peanut will however be going back to her home (aka my parent's house) this weekend and while it's always sad to see her go, it'll be nice to get my side of the bed back.
* Husband recently started calling her, 'Grams' because
of her old age (she's 11) and her difficulty of jumping up on the bed.
Other nicknames include: Doctor Pretty Paws, Peaner & Peanut-Moose

There are a few articles of clothing that when they fit just so, shouldn't be passed up, those include jeans, formal dresses and of course bikinis. It's not everyday you find one that fits perfect with a great price, so when it does happen, I tend to take advantage. And that's exactly what I did last week over the course of three mini-shopping trips. Some may say it's too early to be shopping for a bikini, and while I'm not going away this winter, it's never too early.
While I didn't like the matching bottoms for the Joe Fresh bikini tops, I do already have some bottoms that will work (and I like to mix-n-match too). I was specifically thinking of this pair of red bottoms with small white polka dots (so nautical!).
See last year's bikini purchase here.
I went away last weekend with my family to attend my Uncle's birthday. I didn't take too many photos but did capture some of the food including the miniature cinammon buns that I couldn't get enough of. While standing around with my sister and her boyfriend, our conversation went a little like this:
Me: Do either of you want to split a mini cinnamon bum with me?
Them: No.
Me: ...But I don't want to eat the whole thing myself.
...And then I ate three.
