Let’s pretend that we’re still on vacation…
That it’s NOT raining outside…
And that the 2 loads of laundry I’m doing are already done!
Pancakes certainly help make dreams come true! Kodiak cakes (~1/2 a cup of mix) topped with seared bananas, almond butter and chia seeds.
And a mug of decaf!
Happy Monday Tuesday!
I think pancakes on a week day make it seem a bit more like vacation 🙂
Haha I like the pretending – during my breakfast (apple cinnamon eggwhite oats – so good!) I pretended it wasn’t finals time and I could just relax and enjoy my breakfast. Aaaaaand back to studying.
Why have I not seared my bananas before? Genius.
I love the bananas in these… how is it that I never have ripe bananas when I think about doing this?!
Its raining in NJ too, I made some sweet potato fries yesterday to take with me at work, but when I woke up and saw that is raining outside I just had them for breakfast, I mean its a orange vegetable so maybe it help me shine if we don’t get any sun today!! 🙂
I wish it wasn’t raining! It’s miserable outside where I live today too. I’ve never seared bananas before. Definitely need to try it! 🙂
I like your line of thought 🙂
It’s a Monday for me but only 4 days left in the week! Maybe the rain is trying to extend vacation time!
Hope the sun returns soon!
I made Kodiak cakes this morning too! I topped mine with the faintest hint of peanut butter and some mini dark chocolate chips. I dreamed about chocolate chip cookies so I just gave into the craving 😉
I wish I could pretend I didn’t have to go to work today either!
do you think after you have baby, the caffeine will really kick in after 9 month hiatus?
No idea, but I have problems with caffeine addiction headaches so I hope not
Your pancakes looks delicious How do you make them?
I know what you must feel like Kath! During the last 8 days it’s been raining for 7 days (in the UK) and on top of that I’m in the middle of exams so some sunshine would really make things a tiny bit better! Should probably make pancakes tomorrow and see if they cheer me up a little!
Pancakes make everything better!
Its raining in Minnesota too! And I’ve been on a mini vacation since Friday, and took today off from work to acclimate to being home. Although I’m not making pancakes for breakfast. I’m going out for bagels and coffee!
Mmmm…those pancakes look perfectly golden!!
Those pancakes look extra delicious this morning! Also, I love loveee your mug! Yellow is my favorite color 🙂
I know the mere thought of pancakes brings a big smile to my boys’ faces! Pancakes are a great way to surprise them for dinner too! It rained here yesterday afternoon…looks like it wants to rain again…managed to squeeze my walk in before I gave it a chance to! lol
Rain rain go away! I think I know what I’m having for breakfast – thanks!!
have fun at the big ultrasound Kath! Can’t wait to hear how it goes, but I will wait 🙂
Those look delicious!
Those pancakes are dreamy looking. The way the light is hitting the nut butter, gorgeous!
Those bananas look awesome! Yummy breakfast!
Oh I’m so ready for the sun to come out! I feel like it has been gloomy for days. Let’s hope the sun decides to show up some time soon 🙂
I’m not a huge fan of pancakes but those Kodiak cakes do look pretty good.
YUM! I tried to make believe this morning that my maple almond butter on an English muffin, eaten at my desk, was homemade pancakes with maple syrup…your breakfast puts mine to shame!
Your pancakes looks amazing! You’ve inspired me to top my pancakes with nut butter and seared bananas, and it’s basically changed my life 🙂
Now all I want are pancakes!
Bummer that it’s raining there. Sometimes though when I need to be inside doing tasks I almost LIKE that it’s raining so I don’t feel like I’m missing out.
our breakfasts this morning are twins!! i had kodiak cakes with bananas and peanut butter! 🙂
I think pancakes, or waffles, really help set the mood! I love topping my Kellogg’s Eggo FiberPlus waffles with bananas – never tried them seared either, so I think I might just have to do that.
Pancakes make any day seem special!
I LOVE Kodiak Cakes thanks to you :). I was wondering though, how do you cook them? Do you use butter or oil? Your pancakes always look like they have a nice sear to them with the edges a little crispy, which is just how I like them!
I just put them in a non stick pan that I dot with coconut oil or butter before – that’s probably the crisp!
i like this land of make believe. i would also pretend that the stack of bills piled up on my kitchen table are paid…. wishful thinking!
I LOVE Kodiak cakes!! SO delicious 🙂
Are those caramelized bananas? mmmmmmmm…
Where is the mug from? I love the color and design.
Open sky… hues and brews!
i fell ya! i just got back from a 2 week vacation. today is my first day back at work. sigh.
*feel.
see? i can’t even spell right now.
Okay… I am still daydreaming that I am on vacation on an island soaking up some rays, and that the one load of laundry I have to do is done 🙂
