Mom's Sunday Morning Mixed-Grain Pancakes

MOM'S SUNDAY MORNING MIXED-GRAIN PANCAKES

This is my Mothers recipe and has been in our family for years. My addition to is to add fresh or frozen berries.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups buttermilk (or add 2 TBS. white vinegar to regular milk)
1 cup plain non-fat yogurt
2 TBS. oil
2 eggs lightly beaten

In a medium-size bowl, mix dry ingredients.

In a large bowl, beat buttermilk, yogurt, oil, and eggs.

Add dry ingredients to liquid ingredients, blending until no dry lumps appear.

Let stand fifteen minutes before cooking. This is what it should look like.

Now they are ready to cook. You can add fresh berries if you have them or like I did today add frozen. I always have frozen berries in the freezer.

I add them to the individual pancakes once they have been poured on the griddle. Enjoy!

It's whats for dinner tonight!

Chicken Ceasar Salad Burrito This is a quick and easy weeknight meal your whole family will like. First you need to grill chicken breasts. I do this on my inside stovetop griddle. Second you need Ceasar Salad. You can buy the bag of ready to go caesar salad, or as in my case use fresh romaine lettuce with a bottled Ceasar Dressing with your favorite croutons. I used white flour tortillas from Trader Joes, (my family prefers them to the whole wheat), use what your family likes. Layer the Ceasar Salad in the tortilla, top with sliced chicken breast. Roll the tortilla around the salad and chicken. Enjoy! My daughter calls these green burritos.

The Best Kitchen Tool!!

I Love this kitchen tool. I use mine for making smoothies to blending soups. I used to pull out my big blender for making smoothies, and it was such a pain. One day my blender broke and my sister said, why are you using a blender it is so much easier with a hand blender." She was right I never have replaced my blender, I use this hand blender for everything. Just put all your ingredients in a glass for a single serving ,or a pitcher for multiple servings, and blend away using the easy Smart Stick hand blender. My Green Smoothie recipe...even your kids will love 1 banana, cut into chunks 1 handful of frozen berries , your choice 1/12 cups of fresh spinach 1/2 cup of organic plain yogurt splash of water Place all ingredients in a glass and blend with your hand blender. Quick and easy. Experiment with different fruit combinations. Enjoy!
