It really was such a nice, crisp, dry wintery day. And as a teacher, can I just say? Outdoor recess rules!
I woke up early this morning (falling asleep, again, at 9pm will do that!) and enjoyed some quiet time alone. A whole 20 minutes! Apparently the faint whispering of my socked feet against the hardwood floor in the living room alerted Scotty to my presence. Dannick!
So, we were up, and we did one of my favorite weekday morning rituals...pancakes! It feels so decadent, before the hustle and bustle of carpools and lost shoes and can't-find-my-keys, to sit down at a fresh, warm, made-from-scratch family breakfast of pancakes. It makes any day feel like a weekend! Try it sometime, seriously, it's awesome!
I add the milk, eggs, and oil when I'm ready for batter. How beautiful are these eggs, by the way? I'm so grateful for the gifted, farm-fresh eggs we get!
I make a whole batch, though we only eat a few of them. The rest cool and get stored. For the next two days, we'll pull a pancake or two out whenever the mood strikes, heat it in the microwave (anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 minute), and live like kings.
The boys like to use maple syrup, Erik enjoys boysenberry syrup the best, and I like mine with some jam and a dusting of powdered sugar. Mostly, though, I like mine in the sweet, sweet company of the Buljan Boys.
The tile you have on your backsplash over your stove is what I have! We're meant to be together.
ReplyDeleteKelly and I made pancakes for dinner the other night. I usually put peanut butter on top. If I'm "bad", I'll top it with jam or syrup. Pancakes- waffles, for that matter- are good any time of the day. Moose
ReplyDeleteObviously, Susan, we were separated at birth! I never noticed that before...I can totally picture the Chef's water bottle hanging there in the kitchen, but I'm drawing a blank on the tile! How funny is that?
ReplyDeleteMoose ~ I just love it that my rather restrained choice of jam falls under "splurge" for you! haha! And I also love breakfast for dinner. My mom would do that once in awhile and I always have such fond memories of that!

ReplyDeleteMy hubby won't eat breakfast food after 12pm, so no breakfast for dinner at my house. :(
ReplyDeleteEdited to add: I LIVE for outside recess!!
