"This {WOO-hoo} is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S"

Another food post. Skip ahead to the next post if you don't like food.
But really, if you don't like food, how can you stand to even be my friend? If I were on Survivor, I'd totally be that chick that everyone hates because she doesn't ever shut up, and she talks about food all day when they're starving and eating bugs.

So Tuesday night I'd planned on making blueberry cornmeal pancakes from scratch, but oopsie, I had no buttermilk. And you'll remember I had no regular milk either, because I was avoiding Walmart like the Plague. I DID make it to walmart yesterday only to be reminded of why I avoid it like the Plague...and after a 3 hour ordeal with a pharmacist that I ended up yelling at (who me? yell? never.), I'm pretty sure I picked up the Plague, as well as Swine Flu and 100 other ailments while waiting around. Gross.

Anyway, back to the food. I had no buttermilk and no milk, so instant pancakes it must be. I used a boxed buttermilk pancake mix and added fresh blueberries to one batch and served them with homemade blueberry syrup, and chocolate chips to another batch (for the kiddies).

For the third batch I used Whole Wheat Pancake Mix and added 2 mashed ripe bananas and a 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. YUMMY! Another use for over-ripe bananas. Yay!

Try it.

Also, in august, I went a little crazy and canned peaches galore. I made a few jars of Peach Almond & Vanilla Syrup. It is as thick as caramel, and heavenly on top of banana pancakes. The recipe can be found here. Tasty.

Also, why so many pancakes? I took 1/2, and threw them in the freezer. It takes 12 seconds to nuke them to perfection for a quick n' easy breakfast for the girls on a week day.
