Brainless Banana Pancakes

I love breakfast! I love to make pancakes and waffles from scratch. I received this recipe by email and decided to try it. John looked nervous, the kids excited, the result....as Syd used to say,"TOO-licious" Problem with the recipe, soy milk, we don't do soy milk here's the original recipe and here is my version. These pancakes are a little thicker since I mashed two bananas not one. I cooked them on lower heat and for a little longer than usual make sure your griddle is oiled, bananas like to stick. I also deleted the line that said so sweet and yummy doesn't even need syrup...she has definitely not met my kids and husband.

Brainless Banana Pancakes

1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 banana, mashed
1 1/4 cups milk
1 tbsp sweetener or sugar
sliced fresh fruit (garnish)

1. In a large bowl, sift the flour and baking powder together.
2. In a small bowl, mash the banana with a fork and add 1/4 cup of the milk, mixing together until there are no lumps. Add the banana, sweetener, and remaining soy milk to the dry mix and stir together until "just mixed."
3. Portion out about 3/4 to 1 cup of batter onto a hot non-stick pan or a lightly oiled frying pan and cover with a lid. Let sit on medium heat until the center starts to bubble and become sturdy. Flip pancake over and cook other side until golden brown. Repeat process until all the batter is gone.
4. Garnish with fresh fruit and maple syrup.

Makes 3 servings. No really it does!
This recipe was a unanimous hit, we even had an extra kiddo around to test it on. Definitely a thumbs up.

Project 365

I am on board with this you can either look at information on this idea on photojojo....or on Creating Keepsakes. The idea of keeping track of little pieces of my regular days makes me happy. By next January I will have quite the collection of photos. Anyone care to join me?

Personal Planner Anyone?

Due to the many friendly requests I've had to teach friends and friends of friends how to make a version of the planner that I made for myself last year. I'm ready to take the leap and have a class/workshop - yep the first in over a year and a half but who's counting.

At the class on January 31st, 10 am

or February 21st, 1 pm

I will provide the following:

2 Clear Plastic Rollabind Covers

8 Large Rollabind Discs in Pink or Green

Lots of Pre Cut/Punched Paper that I will coordinate for you by My Mind's Eye

Corner Rounder EK SUCCESS

Coordinating Ribbons

Calendar Personalized with your name or the name of anyone you choose.

Cost: $35

You will need to provide the class fee $35 in advance(due the 21st Jan. or 14th Feb.)

....contact me about payment by email.

A small stapler and staples - for the ribbon or brads and a Paper Piercing tool if you want to get FANCY!

ADHESIVE - and lots of it. Repositionable is helpful but not required it's up to you. I will not have any available at the class for you to use.

We will have lots of fun at our workshop! Believe me it's fun to make scalloped edges, which you will, while talking, laughing and coordinating the paper and ribbons for the various months. The paper used above will not be available it's two years old and not in my new packs. If you already have a corner rounder one will still be included in the class and the class price, including multiple kits that you order...but would make a wonderful gift to another crafty friend. Hope to hear from you soon. ~Susan
