Pancakes

I tried a new recipe for pancakes. Confession alert! They weren't for breakfast. Growing up we always had pancakes (or waffles) for dinner. So, when Brynne asks for pancakes. We have pancakes. I do serve some fruit with it and sometimes I even sneak some squash or sweet potatoes into the batter. SHHHHH!
Anywho, back to the pancakes. I wanted an untraditional recipe. I scoured and I found one and now I have forgotten where I found them. :) So if you'll forgive me for not posting the credit, I'll share the recipe below.
Talk amongst yourselves....share your favorite pancake/waffle/breakfast recipe below.

Crepe Pancakes
5 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 melted butter
dash of salt and pepper (no, this is not a typo)

Beat eggs until they're frothy. Blend in milk. Mix in both sugar and flour until completely incorporated. Mix in butter and salt and pepper. Let sit while you heat a small skillet over medium heat. The batter will be very thin! Spray the skillet with cooking spray. Pour about a 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet. Swirl the batter to evenly coat the bottom of the skillet. Leave it alone for 2-3 minutes and flip. Let the other side cook for 1-2 minutes and serve. Repeat. Top with strawberries and whipped cream, fruit preserves or just plain syrup.

Enjoy!

Waiving the White Flag-so to speak.

So, I have two kids. Kids are picky. I have tried to raise mine to not be picky. I have come to learn that at 3 and 4 (almost 5) I have failed. I think (hope) I've only failed for a season. I shall continue to push on. However, after many cooking attempts met with "digusting!" from Brynne, I am waiving the proverbial white flag for the time being. I will, for a while, only cook kid friendly recipes. I will, however, continue to sneak vegetables in. Now I am off to find a website with recipes that truly satisfy the "kid friendly" requirement.
Will you share yours?

Favorite Websites

I admit, I get many of my ideas from various food websites. I say, instead of hide it, let's embrace it. Seriously, who has time to completely reinvent the wheel. Maybe redesign it a little, but not completely reinvent it. I often will find a recipe on one of my "go-to" websites and will tweak it a little based on my family's tastes or just my creativity. "They" say you should always try a recipe the way that it was intended the first time around and then tweak it later. I think however, this will sometimes lead to abandonded recipes.
Here are a few of my "go-to" recipe websites

Allrecipes-I love this site because people contribute their own recipes, you can maintain a recipe box on their website of your favorites, and the biggest reason? you can do an ingredient search!

CopyKat Recipes- love this site because you can search for recipes from your favorite restaurants!

FoodNetwork-This one is a given simply because I am constantly watching the channel and it is so convenient to just go to their site and download the recipe from the show I just watched. I swear, someone should invent smell-o-vision and taste-o-vision!

Ok, let's share. Do you have any favorite sites for recipes?
