The day I didn’t screw up the pancakes

There is a small running joke at our house about pancakes. You see, despite being rather Martha Stewart’ish in the kitchen, I ALWAYS screw up the pancakes. I lack the flipping skills, I blame it on weak wrists!

On the flip (bahaha.. pun intended) side my husband, who fell VERY far from the “Gifted in the kitchen” tree, makes a wicked pancake each and every time.

This morning was different though. I made the most delicious pancakes EVER!

I cannot take all the credit though, as these pancakes came straight from a box. Fibre One to be exact. I picked up this mix a couple months ago on our US roadtrip.

Amazing I tell you.

They came out almost an inch thick.

  I’m still making an effort to add extra protein to each meal, so I added about 1/4 cup of vanilla greek yogurt on top.

Due to the fact I’m not living at home right now, my flower gardens were in a sad state of affairs. Andrew is talented in many areas (like pancakes making!) but lacks severely in the gardening depart. We spent a few hours getting them in tip top shape. They look SO great!

This sits on my front step. It used to my Mom’s saddle horse. I couldn’t bear to part with it, so it makes an excellent hanging basket holder. My plan is to refinish it… once I learn how to do that.

Also planted some herbies.  

And added some potted flowers to the back yard too.

Lets just hope Andrew can keep them alive.

The rest of the weekend was spent playing referee to these two.

Its actually pretty endearing  (even though the pictures make it look like she’s trying to commit murder) watching them. Jersey is sooo gentle and tolerant with him. I think she secretly loves him and wants a brother.

Overall it was a stellar weekend. I ate ok’ish (some treats were had yesterday) and I had a couple of great workouts. Now I must pack and get ready for the move to the big city tomorrow.

Think its time to fire up the grill. TTFN!
