I have a very clear memory of begging my mom to leave the “brown stuff” out of our pancake batter. I was referring to (completely benignly flavored) wheat germ; I didn’t want her ruining my fluffy white pancakes with anything remotely healthy. I’d love to tell you I was five but I was probably...
Shakes are my favorite breakfast for the kids as I get the opportunity to pump their little bodies full of things like spinach, flax seed, turmeric and blueberries to start off their day. Shakes are no longer my kids favorite breakfast, for the same reason. We compromise with shakes every other day, and pancakes...
Yes, another pumpkin recipe. I know it’s a borderline joke now, the whole “pumpkin spice” phenomenon. I saw something the other day, like pumpkin spice cheese sticks or dog bones – I literally laughed out loud. Explaining why it was funny to Tessa was not fun and I think after a full five minutes...
Originally this was a FACS recipe at the high school, and one the kids would regard dubiously. When I saw there was never a single pancake left once they’d tasted them, I knew we had something good. Still a favorite pancake of mine, and one my kids absolutely devoured, these are a perfect blend...
We eat a lot of pancakes. I make these pancakes for the kids in double batches and they’re always in the freezer, ready be put in the toaster for an easy breakfast. Rich used to partake (we’re talking 8-10 at a time) so he mourned the loss when he went gluten-free. So get this...
I love cornmeal pancakes because they taste like cornbread and anything that tastes like cornbread is okay in my book. Tessa called these “cookies” and ate two, drizzled with honey, in about seven seconds.
Before you make a face and disregard this recipe, think on sweet potato casserole for a second. The one with marshmallows. Sweet enough for you? If you like the sound of pumpkin pancakes then PLEASE give these a chance because they are SO DANG GOOD. I haven’t been this excited about a new recipe...
This pancake recipe is already on homebeccanomics – it appeared with blackberries in early spring of last year. I’ve made it countless times since then – so many, in fact, that I believe the recipe deserves a repost. Let me tell you why.
Husband calls around 5. He says, what’s for dinner? I say, take out or breakfast food. He says, what are my options? I say hmm fried eggs, omelets, french toast, pancakes… “PANCAKES”, he shouts. OK, really healthy low cal banana pancakes? Or really delicious unhealthy pancakes? Or an in-between? IN BETWEEN! (he shouts when...
You probably don’t think I’m a healthy eater. I say that I am, but you might not believe me when you see the things I like to make. This is how it works; when I am alone or just cooking for my healthy husband, nutritious and low-calorie is what it’s all about. I eat...
