Healthy Mama's Waffles

Image
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 ...

Quality Time...

Fancy Flapjacks*

Over the weekend, George and the girls bought a griddle, some fancy food coloring and a big ole box of Bisquick.  Breakfast will never be the same.   The breakfast of clever little champions? A good breakfast can improve your observational skills.  "Did you see that giant squirrel, Lili?" *British friends, these are obviously American style flapjacks, also known as pancakes.
