Every once in a while, I come across a sweet find. This weekend I was at Home Sense in Kelowna I came across these beauties and almost squealed out loud. Circus animal pancake molds.

They came in a pack of 3 for about $12. There is an elephant, a lion and a seal with a ball on his nose. They are non-stick and pretty sturdy.

I just whipped up a batch of my fav pancake mix and filled em up!

I was worried about the tails and such breaking off when I removed the molds, but it is really good non-stick. They turned out beautiful!

Due to some careless flipping on my part, the seals ball fell off his nose

But after dressing them up in some butter and syrup,

they were more than enough to WOW my little man at the breakfast table.

He ate the whole plate worth!

*burp*

…Is how hard it is to compare food from the nutritional information on the boxes. Take this example here- two different styles of Melba Toast, with info for TWO different amounts! WTF! Do I really need to bring a calculator to the damn grocery store to make a proper comparison? It gets pretty damn frustrating when you’re standing in the food isle doing mental gymnastics trying to figure out which food has more calories in it. I’ve lost it and gone on a rant about this on more than one occasion.

I mean seriously, WTF.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what grinds my gears. Goodnight.

I’m having a hard time trying to imagine what these taste like!

Thanks KB! ;-)

WTF BBQ?

Or maybe it makes you black!

Holy shlamoley, it’s been ages since I’ve posted- oh well, owning a home throws you lots of unexpected surprises sometimes and I’ve just been plain busy. But fret not, I have plenty of breakfast goodness (or not) to share…

I saw this at the grocery store last week and snapped a shot-

I dunno ’bout you, but if I’m going to have something like this, I’d rather make it myself or have one hand made for me…

Out of curiosity, I flipped the box around to check out nutritional info:

I think that’s about what you’d expect for something like this. That long list of ingredients is kinda scary though :-/

Well spring time is here and the mountains of snow around me are slowly melting away– I’m dying to eat outside again. Let’s hear it for some spring time breakfast adventures!
