Pancakes

Have you ever heard of a kid that wouldn't eat pancakes?! This boy is such a meat lover that if I could wrap raw beef around veggies, that would be all he would eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Did I mention that I had been a vegetarian for over a decade until I was preggers with him? No? Well, I was. I had such AWFUL cravings with him that one day I said "Morals, shmorals" and picked up a piece of fried chicken off my husbands plate. Needless to say, he was pretty shocked.

So... Pancakes...

I learned that if I measure out the dry ingredients, and put them in a baggie when I'm at one of my "awake" moments, I can just add the wet stuff with it all in a bowl in the morning, and I can _almost_ cook. (I'm not a morning person at ALL!) But my young one won't touch them. Brat.

One day I had an apple with a huge bad spot one one side, but was pretty and healthy on the other side. What to do? Chop it up, throw it in the pancake batter, add some cinnamon and POOF, they disappeared! Who ate all the pancakes?! Well DUH mom, they were apple cinnamon, of *course* I ate them!

We've always added fruit to them, I just never thought to add apples. silly me.

So there you have it, add fruit to anything, even making Pb&J sandwiches with waffles is something new and fun the kiddies might enjoy!
