Christmas Cookie Pancakes

Merry Christmas!!

Starting the tradition of Christmas Cookie Pancakes! It's just regular fluffy pancakes recipe poured into Christmas cookie cutters. 

Note for next year - put more liquid in the batter so they aren't so thick. They were easily 1 inch thick. Also, hopefully next year I remember to put coconut oil on the cookie cutters so the batter doesn't stick. Once the cutters cooled down enough so I could touch them it wasn't too hard to push them out. 

Fluffy Pancakes

I found this recipe because I wanted to continue a tradition of Sunday night, breakfast for dinner.  When I was growing up, one of my fondest memories is of Sunday nights.  Our dinners would rotate between pancakes (plain, Swedish, and blueberry), french toast, waffles, and a collection of side dishes; all while watching America's Funniest Home Videos! It was the perfect way to end the weekend and get ready to start a new week.

These pancakes are delicious and very easy to make. They are very appropriately named "Fluffy Pancakes."

Quinoa and egg sandwich

This is one of my absolute favorite things to eat!  It has everything you want in a lunch. It's super quick and easy to make, doesn't have a lot of cleanup, and it is delicious!!

I toast a Qrunch quinoa burger and two pieces of multigrain bread, slice some white cheddar cheese (which Henry gets a few slices of - how do you say no to a toddler with outstretched arms repeatedly saying "cheese please"), fry an egg, and add some mustard! Yum yum!! One of the best things I've ever tasted - and all organic non gmo - can't beat it!

You don't need to add anything else to it. However, I have topped it with some sliced tomato, green pepper, mushrooms, and salsa before. That makes a little bit of a messy sandwich, but it's just sooooo goooood!
