This morning for breakfast we enjoyed veggie pancakes from the vita-mix. Basically, I take the buttermilk pancake recipe (doubled, of course) and throw in a couple of carrots and a handful of spinach. And the kids devour them. And ask for more. And, yes, they know about the veggies.
We’re out of maple syrup…
(Side note: I’m a syrup snob – it has to be real maple syrup – I just can’t stand the thought of feeding my kids the high fructose corn syrup-laden pancake syrups)
…so I made a blackberry syrup in the vita-mix:
3 cups frozen blackberries
3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
Run on high for 3-4 minutes…yummy!
Was it a hit? You decide…
The rest of today will consist of leftover soup from Thursday (day3) for lunch, and whatever Brent cooks up for dinner for the kids… I’m going to a baby shower, and there is sure to be food there
