With my trusty bag of Krusteaz by my side,

I have set out to make ordinary pancakes extrodinary! Im willing to try just about anything (within reason) and am totally open to suggestions.

This mornings brilliant idea was to add a couple tablespoons of Ovaltine

And some frozen strawberrries the I threw in the food processor to make frozen strawberry powder (handy for mixing in pancakes, muffins, yogurt and the like)

Mix mix mixity mix….

Add some scrambled eggs with cheese, some apple juice and orange slices and voila! You have some kick ass eggs accompanied by some rather uninteresting ovaltine pancakes.

Im not really sure what it was about them, they weren’t bad by any means.. just not nearly as good as I had invisioned. But after a quick repair of plain yogurt, banana slices and a little brown sugar, they were most scrumptious.

Im not sure if I would be in a hurry to try Ovaltine in my pancakes again, but after the quick patch job, they did go down quite nicely.

Ca-Ching!

BreakfAzt Du Jour

Monday, May 1st, 2006

I woke up this morning and discovered I was quite hungry. I thought about it for a bit and decided my usual breakfsat just wouldn’t do. I needed something more substancial and a little different. And voila!

Like any good breakfast there is bacon. MMmmmMM bacon, crispity crunchity bacony goodness. I used the fat from the bacon to grease my griddle for my corn bread griddle cakes. I probably could have skipped on the extra fat, but when you break through the crispy exterior to the fluffy corny goodness inside, it makes it ALL worth it. Throw a couple medium poached eggs with hotsauce on my plate and a couple slices of yellow watermelon and its a breakfast fit for…well.. ME!

MONEY SHOT!!!
