A staple in our home....Pancakes. Basic recipe, but you can do fun stuff to mix it up like add fresh banana or chocolate chips.

1 cup flour
1 cup skim milk
2 tsp baking powder
dash of salt
2 Tbsp sugar (white or brown)
1 or 2 eggs (works well with either)
1 tsp vanilla

Combine all of the above ingredients.

Then add,
2 Tbsp butter melted

Fry in a pan on medium with melted butter.

I often double this recipe. My kids love them They freeze well for mornings you don't have time to cook. You can also change the flour to whole wheat or 1/2 white and 1/2 wheat. I've added pureed sweet potatoes or even applesauce before. Sometimes you have to leave out some of the milk to make it just right.

Thanks this is a great idea! I love trying new recipes so it will be fun to check back and see what yummy stuff people like to make.

Mmm I might have to make this you made me hungry for pancakes

Ooh, I wish DH liked pancakes and cheese...or both of these would be on today's menu!

My favorite recipe is a salad that I made up - its basically mixed greens with chopped up whatever fruits and veggies I can get my hands on (grapes, apples, cherries, strawberries, onions, etc...) mixed with a few chopped up avocados, goat cheese and candied pecans. For some reason, when its made with strawberries, the mixture of the cheese, strawberries and pecans make it taste like dessert, only its actually really good for you. :-) No dressing necessary, as the cheese/avocado make a dressing all by itself.

Right now, i'm making BBQ pulled beef sandwiches.

I used a roast and put it in the crock pot with a can of beef broth, and then after it was done cooking, I took it out--emptied the crock pot and shredded the roast. I put it back into the crock pot, shredded with just enough honey BBQ sauce to coat. Then you cook that for about an hour. YUM!

[.:Shortcake:.]

My crockpot is my savior alot!

I'll have to pull my cookbook out but it's a Weight Watchers beef stew. So easy. 5 minutes prep, stick it in a dutch oven type dish and cook for 2 hours.

Crockpots are the best! I made a lentil soup last week with mine, just used veggie broth, chopped carrots, celery some spices including curry and a bunch of the green french lentils. Turned out fantastic.

One of my friends mixes in canned pumpkin and coconut when she makes curried lentils as well...very interesting, healthy and surprisingly good. And I'm not even vegetarian! :-)

Now I'm craving bbq beef. MMM. These darn food posts! :-)
