IHOP

We are out of milk and bananas – crisis!!

Pancakes seemed like a nice solution ; ) Especially when made with Kodiak cakes, which just require water. [Lauri is giving some away this week!]

IMG_8003BlogPancakesBlog

To solve the mystery of the missing banana, I heated up some frozen berries (we only had about half a cup left) in a pot and served them on the side

IMG_8001Blog

They immediately started eating away at my pancake!

Chomp chomp chomp

IMG_8005BlogIMG_8004Blog

All that time in the freezer must have left them famished!

IMG_7994Blog

My cakes were made with half a cup of the whole grain buttermilk + honey mix (I think I do prefer the original mix..) topped with BISCOFF SPREAD (!!!) – my last single serve taste of it from the gift Biscoff sent me a year ago – chia seeds and coconut

IMG_8006BlogIMG_7992Blog

Rooibos

IMG_8000BlogIMG_7989Blog

Thankfully the berries left me just enough pancake to get my fill!

    I am currently waiting on a whole bunch of bananas on my counter to ripen! They were purchased last Friday, and haven’t made much progress. I think I might have gotten a bum bunch of previous green-frozen ones. Grr.
    However, I pulled half of a frozen banana out of my green monster freezer stash last night to make overnight oats – and it worked beautifully!

      Before you give up on this batch, try seperating each and place them in a small paper bag in a warm cupboard for a couple of days (if you do have one ripe banana it would help to add that to the bag, as it will initiate the ripening process.)

    Hi Kath,
    I am a farily new follower and have seen you add Chai seeds to many of your meals. I searched your site for “chai seeds” and 6 posts came up, all with you adding them to your meals. What I am looking for is more info. on them. What are that? How are they “good”, do you eat them raw, cooked, do I find them at the health food store etc.
    Thanks!
