I saw an old friend at the grocery store the other day and she inspired me to write this post. She thinks I am really healthy and that I only eat fruits and veggies all day long. Ha ha ha! Boy would she be surprised to know I go through about 25 lbs of white flour and 10 lbs of white sugar every couple of months!
Generally speaking though I do like to eat healthy and try to sneak healthy items into my kids food as much as possible.
Since my favorite breakfast food of all time is pancakes, I dedicate this post to all those delicious pancakes in my life. Some of my favorites: Oatmeal Pancakes, Gingerbread Pancakes, Cornmeal Molasses Pancakes, Pancake Squares (Hubby doesn't like pancakes, but these are winner for him).
Oatmeal Pancakes - My All Time Favorite

A good friend of mine says she does not like pancakes, but she LOVES these pancakes!
2 C Oats (I use regular, not quick cooking)
2 C Buttermilk
(Or make your own. 1 T white vinegar per cup of milk.
Add vinegar in measuring cup and top off with milk)
Let the oats soak overnight in the fridge in the buttermilk (VERY IMPORTANT!!!)
In the morning add:
2 eggs
2 T honey
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
2 T melted butter
1 t lemon juice
1 t vanilla
1/2 C whole wheat flour
This batter keeps very well in the fridge. I will often save some batter from the batch and make it again the next (or even the next) morning. Just stir all ingredients to reincorporate.
