What are you having for a hearty breakfast on this crisp fall morning? Are you being kind to you today?
I'm experimenting this morning and have a new pumpkin wheat pancake mix. The calories on the container only give me the calories for the dry mix ... 1/3 cup is 120 calories. So, in making the recipe, I made it according to the package instructions although I exchanged 1 TSP butter for 1 TSP olive oil. Then I added up the calories of all the ingredients. It made six pancakes and I wanted to eat 3, so I divided the total number in half.
For 339 calories, I had 3 pumpkin wheat pancakes and 1/2 c of sugar free syrup ... yummm!!! In the first 3 pancakes, I added cinnamon and in the second 3 pancakes I added ginger. Uniquely different and I like both. (Had 2 ginger pancakes and 1 cinnamon pancake.) I let the other 3 cool and will place them between wax paper and put them in a freezer bag to store until one morning next week. Am actually thinking about making some more and freezing them while I'm in the mood to cook. Think the next ones I'm going to try with pumpkin pie spice .. perhaps 1/2 tsp for the whole batch.
Letting breakfast sit for 20 minutes and then am off for a walk around the lake; 1 1/4 miles. Looking forward to the brisk fall morning and watching the ducks and geese and hearing the sounds of nature. It always invigorates me. Also have some laundry going .. and a full day planned. Seems when I get up, eat healthy and start my heart pumping with a little exercise, it sets the tone for a successful day.
Hope you'll share the events of your day .. it's how we get to know each other, build our team spirit and support each other.
