Buckwheat Pancakes

7 May 2007 by Two Crazy Dogs

I bought this pancake mix couple of weeks ago. We had a craving for pancakes and didn’t want to go to IHOP (International House of Pancakes) down in Apple Valley. I drove to the organic store by our home and bought this mix. (The picture is not the best.)

We have not had anything with buckwheat before. I thought it would be nice to start adding more healthy food into our daily diet.

The texture of the pancakes came out great. I forgot to take pictures of them. We were too hungry and walloped them down pretty darn quick. I also added chopped walnuts, dried cranberries and raisins into the mixture. It was delicious.

We both had 3 pieces with our usual maple syrup and the last piece I had I added organic brown rice syrup. I was very surprised this syrup has a great taste to it. Not too sweet and the consistency is the same as the maple syrup.

Needless to say, after we stuffed our face with pancakes, I skipped lunch and dinner was salad and left overs of brats and burger. The pancakes took care of the carbs for the day.

   Buckwheat pancakes…..never try them before. Sounds too healthy for H and the boys.

   The things is if you don’t try you will know, right ?

   I am also trying to have more fibre in their diet. Switched to wholemeal bread and more veges at meal times.
   The problem is there is so much yummy food (Trans fat) out there. And they are used to them. They made a lot of noise when I first switched to whole meal bread.

   Organic food here is bloody expensive.

   Organic food should be quite cheap in Spore since there are more expats there. It is a little more spendy than regular food but I think it’s worth the money.

   …and the new skin, yes, I was bored with my editing my papers and sick of the previous template. Wanted to get one red skin but didn’t have the time to dink around with the widgets and stuff.
