Drunk On Pancakes & High On Springtime

IMG_8497Blog

Have you heard this song? Love it – classic new-age country song : ) I’m listening to it on repeat along with this one!

Super thick Kodiak cakes for breakfast left me feelin’ gooooood. I’ve found to make nice thick ‘cakes I add a 3/4 water-to-mix ratio rather than 1:1. Then they don’t spread as much in the pan and get that nice fat stacked look.

IMG_8502Blog

I seared half a banana in the pan next to them and topped it all with a puddle of melty cookie butter (for fun) and Nuttzo (for crunch) plus chia seeds and coconut.

I accidentally overslept this morning and missed my cycle class. Going to have to think of something creative to do for exercise before lunch!

    Caramelized bananas are one of my all-time favorite things. I will sometimes sear slices and top it with PB for an afternoon snack.

    That looks like the perfect breakfast!

    I’ve heard you mention TJ’s butter a few times, and thought it sounded yummy, so I decided to look for it last time I was at the store. I was pretty surprised at how bad it is! Given the ingredients, how can you call it “real food?”

    INGREDIENTS: 57% SPECULOOS (WHEAT FLOUR, CANDY SUGAR, MARGARINE [PALM OIL, CANOLA OIL, COCONUT OIL, RAPESEED OIL, WATER, SALT, EMULSIFIER {VEGETABLE MONO-AND DIGLYCERIDES FROM FATTY ACIDS}, CITRIC ACID, ALCTIC ACID, COLOR ADDED {BETA CAROTENE}, BUTTERFLAVOR (NON-DAIRY)], SUGAR, SOY FLOUR, SUGAR SYRUP, RAISING AGENT {SODIUM HYDROGEN CARBONATE}, CINNAMON, NUTMEG), PALM OIL, CANOLA OIL, SUGAR, EMULSIFIER: RAPESEED LECITHIN.

      Never said it was real food! I have always touted it here as a “fun food” that I use a little bit here and there because it’s delicious.

    April 4, 2012 at 10:29 am

    Oh, I thought the idea was to find real foods that were fun AND delicious. At any rate, I haven’t tried the cookie butter because I was grossed out at the store when I read the label!

      They are REALLY good (pricey, but worth it). I found them at Pavillions if you have that store near you. The list of ingredients is short and for the most part they are very healthy.

      Correction: “for Lucy and me” (sorry, this is my pet peeve!)

      A quick way to check for correctness is to take out the first person. If you take out “Lucy” — see how odd it sounds? … “for I right now…”

      Thanks for indulging an old English teacher. 🙂

    I like this philosophy of only added 3/4 the amount of liquid to make them thicker. My pancakes were definitely more running and reeeeally spread out yesterday, so thick is totally what I want next time! Good idea with the banana too…doing that, too!

    I knew this was the Luke Bryan song the minute I got to your site! I love that song and Crazy Girl. Both the Luke and Eli Young Band albums are amazing. And like someone posted earlier, Springsteen by Eric Church is another great one. Sorry, not to be crazy country music girl but you should also check out Heaven and Apple Pie Moonshine by Jake Owen. He hasn’t released them yet but basically the albums by these 4 guys/bands are on my constant rotation.

    I wondered where you were this morning…usually your breakfast post is up by the time I am back from my run…glad I caught it before lunch was up! I enjoy my ‘Kath breaks’! You bring a smile to my day…your great photos of your yummy dishes inspire me to be more creative in my food choices and photography shots. I love your positive take on everything…since I have started living ‘positively’ my life has taken a turn for the better! Living with children with multiple food allergies, extreme eczema and asthma since practically day one…exhausted me out…the sparkle of ‘hope’ and postive thinking was my saviour! Keep up the great work!

    Yummy looking pancakes! We like Krusteaz pancake/waffle mix the best, just add water and you are good to go.

    Have you tried Barilla Plus pasta (multi-grain). We really like it as well as any other pasta and HOPE it is better for us, PLEASE tell me it is? 🙂

    Have a great day Kath.

    I have to agree with some other posters. Seeing your meals makes me expand and branch out in what I eat and the combos of how I eat them. Only problem being now I have opened and half eaten breakfast options (greek yogurt, fig jam, kashi cereal, vanilla almond granola, and the list goes on). Guess I’ll have to start eating breakfast for dinner soon, oh no 🙂

    Kath! I have to tell you that my OpenSky order of Wild Squirrel PB/AB arrived today and I am SOOOO excited!!! Probably a little too excited because I’ve already opened two of them and was eating them straight out of the jar – hehe 🙂 Tonight I opened the dark chocolate sunflower almond butter and the cinnamon raisin peanut butter. I cannot wait to have the cinnamon raisin on celery as an afternoon snack, and the dark chocolate almond butter on pancakes or oats, or straight out of the jar! Love Love Love it. My next treat to myself is going to be the cville granola! 🙂
