Cooking

As many of you know I HATE to cook, mostly because I'm no good at it. But for the past little while I've been blog searching for healthy recipes to feed my children (Travis) I made these pancakes this morning and they were a HIT. Except for Travis, he noticed the spinach by saying, "Kate, what's in these...there's like green stringy stuff." No need to wonder if he got the look of DEATH, because then Audrey said, "yeah, what is this stuff"...I'll get 'em both next time!! So I left the spinach out of half of the batter and then they were both satisfied!
Here is recipe.

Sour cream and Spinach Pancakes
by: http://www.mycharmingkids.net/2009/06/ss-have-it.html


1 batch pancake batter
1/2 cups fresh spinach (I used frozen and eyeballed how much I wanted to use)
1/2 cup sour cream
3 eggs
1/3 cup honey
1 T flaxseed meal (optional)

Prepare a batch of pancake batter.
Set aside.
Blend the spinach in a blender or food processor until completely chopped. It will make about 1/2 cup. ( I used frozen spinach, thawed)
Set aside.
Stir in sour cream to the batter. Combine well with a fork until smooth.
Add honey and eggs.
Add the chopped spinach and the flaxseed meal to the batter and stir.

Make pancakes as normal.

  1. Good for you for cooking on a Saturday morning. Especially when you don't like to cook. Keep up the healthy cookin'. Sounds yummy, but I don't think I could get away with "green stringy things" in pancakes either.
