Ugh, so frustrated. This morning was our day to get lots of little projects done around the house; new house that is. We literally had many items on our list and many items on Home Depots list as well. We woke up, had coffee, and took off to Home Depot before little man went down for his morning nap. We spent a good $500 on items to get a bedroom fan, kitchen faucet, texture, hinges, blind, and backsplash samples just to name a few. Needless to say, we got home with very hungry bellies. I wanted to make something quick so I could begin my list of projects while Cooper was asleep. I decided to make pancakes as we really love fluffy pancakes and eggs. Simply easy and definitely not fancy.

So, far it all sounds great right? I already had a mix from the store but while I was cooking them decided I should look at the ingredients. Let me tell you, this was so annoying; pancake mix should be a simple 4 ingredient mixture. While of course, anything store bought these days has to have chemicals and at least 10 ingredients; and lo and behold, it did. We ate them….yes we did, although while they were cooking I was adamant to make a pancake mix to have on hand from here on out.

We went camping last weekend with another friend and she brought her homemade pancake mix. I must say it was very good although anything is good while camping. It’s entirely too simple to actually not make our own pancakes, so much so, that I feel crazy for not already having done this. Mark my words, today will be the last day of eating yummy chemicals, I mean, store bought pancakes.

Please, if you are reading this, please make your own mix. It’s too easy not to! Click here for the recipe.
