Pancakes!!

Today I tried Hope's from scratch pancake recipe. It was WONDERFUL! I used the applesauce and half whole wheat flour and it was REALLY, REALLY good. I will never use a box again! (unless I'm out of eggs). Thank you Hope for such a great recipe, I will be looking for some more useful and healthy recipes to come:)

Nick got a cooking set from Cracker Barrel (where Jeff works and we get a 40% discount) so we decided to make handprints and footprints for keepsakes. He really loved it!


Alex is in my FAVORITE wool cover here. He is almost too big for it so I am using it as much as possible. I need to crochet some but don't seem to have the time with work lately. Perhaps I will before he grows out of this one. He looks like a little hippie from a commune here!

Wow!! I love all the new posts.... your boys are soooo cute. I love the photos, and you look very beautiful! Maybe I need to try the no pizza, no cheese, no anything at all bad for me diet too. I can't ever seem to stick with it though. I do grind my own whole wheat flour though, so I think when we get back home I will try that with half whole wheat flour & applesauce. What a sweet little hippie boy, that picture of Alex is my favorite.

Wow, how in the world do you grind your own flour - does it take forever? I eat some bad stuff just in small quantities and I try to make it all at home. I usually force down a plate of salad with a ton of stuff on top first and then I can eat whatever pasta or bread I want after that. I try to stay active and I think that helps a lot too along with the little one sucking it out of me!

Sarah,
I saw that picture of Bryson "helping" in the kitchen, I don't think I want that kind of help! But it was an adorable picture!

Glad you enjoyed the pancakes! I have done the half-wheat ones as well. Yumm! I, too, grind my own wheat (I think it is a weird Mormon thing, but it is catching on in the modern world!! LOL Actually, my NON-mormon step-mother-in-law gave me one of her spare grinders that is electric, but you can also hand crank it if the power ever goes out.)
Lorrin, I have a all-wheat waffle recipe somewhere if you want. I love it, but you do have to spray the waffle grid with some thing to keep the wheat from sticking! Let me know!!
