Wholesome Whole Wheat Pancakes

It's hard to believe it's already mid-summer. Time to take stock to see if we're
soaking up this glorious season properly . . .

Our To-Do List has included:

Eat a warm donut on a cool night.

Appreciate all things green. And yellow.

Learn to ride bike.

Sell lemonade for a good cause- Hope for Henry Foundation.


Climb trees.

Discover wild blackberries. (Guess what's for breakfast next Sunday?)


And, of course, visit our favorite farmstand.




I'm feeling like we've got an A- so far. Can never get enough beachtime!

Now, for some pancakes . . . these are definitely more wholesome. If you seek a treatier pancake, you could always sub half unbleached white flour.

Wholesome Whole Wheat Pancakes
adapted from Say Yes
serves 4+


1 c milk
1 c buttermilk
1 3/4 c whole wheat flour (add more if you want a cakey-er pancake)
1/2 t salt
2 t baking soda
3-4 T sugar (or honey/maple syrup)
2 eggs
1 c oil (we prefer healthful, organic coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil)

Mix in that order, cook over medium heat. We added some frozen blueberries.


Cut fast! We had a hard time keeping up with how quickly the boys munched them down!


What's left for the summer of 2014?
camp out
date night 
family bike ride
work on fair projects
make an outdoor fire
figure out how to deal with pediatric cavities & allergies (ugh!)
beach!!

Here's to golden summer days! Hope you find time to star-gaze, sunset and swim.
