What can I say? Today is the third day of spring and we have about six inches of snow on the ground. The children in this family are also getting over Strep throat, a wicked ear infection and some sort of virus that requires the afflicted to sleep on her mother's face and cough all night long. I would seriously be losing my stuff if we didn't have a sunny holiday planned for the near future. All of that being said, a snow day is still fun and a little bit magical, and I am almost annoyed to admit that it really is beautiful out there. As Sophia said this morning, "Mom! You have to come out and see this! It's so crystal white!"
A snow day also means that you must have something nice for breakfast. On school mornings there typically isn't time for bacon and eggs or Granny's famous homemade coffee cake, but on a snow day, there is nothing but time. Today this mama made waffles with a healthy twist.
Choose a whole grain pancake mix and add a scoop of protein powder. Prepare as directed for waffles,and feel a little bit self-righteous. This is way healthier than Bisquick.
My little buddy also helped me sautee a couple of bananas in a bit of butter with cinnamon and and a titch of brown sugar. We also heated some fresh blueberries in the microwave with a little squidge of agave nectar. My measurements are not an exact science.
When was the last time YOUR breakfast made you feel so happy that you busted out a goofy pose like this? I added a small dollop of whipped cream, and NOBODY missed that high fructose corn syrup that Aunt Jemima is peddling these days.
Happy Spring!
