CEiMB - Whole Wheat Pancakes with Strawberry Syrup

-
Hostess this Week:  Melissa of http://itsmelissaskitchen.blogspot.com/

I have been under the weather this week with a touch of strep throat.  I'll be fine soon.. . I hope?  Got a cortisone shot yesterday which kept me wide awake all night last night, but it did give me a tiny bit of relief.  So this will be a quick post! 

For those of you who are movie buffs like me, I saw a cute movie last weekend that I got from Netflix.  Killers starring Kutcher and Heigl.   If you liked Brad and Angie in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, you will like this one as well.

I am not a huge fan of whole wheat pancakes, so I mixed half and half flour, regular and whole wheat.  The strawberry syrup was very easy to mix up.  I wish the strawberries had a richer color in these photos.

I love this syrup.  Target brand.
While these were good pancakes, and the strawberry syrup was delicious, I think I like just plain syrup on mine the best!

That plate of pancakes looks so good. I'm ready for more!
Agree on the plain syrup. I like my fruit whole, fresh and on the side.

Your plate of strawberry pancakes looks delicious! My strawberry sauce color did not look as bright as I would have liked it either.

I am so sorry you have strep throat; you poor thing! AND I can not even imagine a cortisone (sp?) shot. Ouch! I hope you get feeling better ASAP and talk to you soon, Shandy

Beautiful photo. Pancakes look yummy as does the sauce.

I love maple syrup also but strawberry sauce is also delicious.

I hope you're starting to feel better by now. Great job on the pancakes. I'm so proud of you for making them even though you were sick!

Oh, I hope you are feeling better! I used to get strep a lot so I know how miserable that is :( Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Pancakes look great; I am so behind in my blogging lately... silly life getting in the way of my cooking! Bah!

Umm, I would turn down those pancakes, with or without the strawberry syrup. But with maple syrup? I might get pushy to have them all to myself.

I hope you're feeling better! I'm so behind on commenting that I wish I'd seen your note earlier. Take care of yourself. Peggy!

It's breakfast time right now here and I am looking at these and wondering if I can make just two from this recipe...they look so good. Love how you thought to put some strawberries on the plate as well, very nice.

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

-
Image
This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes. ...

TWD - Crunchy Toffee Bars

Every time I bake with toffee chips, I think of Heath Ledger. You get it, right, Heath Toffee / Heath Ledger. I know I'm weird. But in honor of the Oscars this week, I thought a photo of Heath was appropriate. He was a great actor with a brilliant future ahead of him. Sad. Of course, my real photo choice of the week was going to be my personal favorite Hugh Jackman. Since he was the host of the Oscars, I think it only fitting that we post a photo of him, as well, right? After all, he IS the sexiest man alive. I knew he could act, and look pretty, but dang - he can sing and dance too! Okay girls - get your minds out of the gutter and back to the matter at hand. Truly, get serious! We are here to talk about crunchy toffee bars. Let me just say that I am glad I made these earlier in the weekend because I ended up having to spend some time with a nice young doctor at the ER due to a severe asthma attack! It's heck not being able to breathe folks. It has now turned into acute bronc...

Lenox Almond Biscotti

This week Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Lenox Almond Biscotti for our recipe challenge. Oh Gretchen, thank you thank you, thank you! Biscotti has always been one of my favorite foods (especially around the holidays). Who knew someone of so little culinary experience could actually bake biscotti in their own kitchen? And the greatest thing of all was this was actually one of the easiest things I have baked AND I had all the ingredients I needed right in that pantry of mine. Or so I thought . . . My new shiny red KA mixer was gently purring like a kitten as it mixed my wonderful dough when I discovered - oops, completely out of almond flavoring. Since I was baking in old clothes and no makeup, hair tied back in a ponytail reminiscent of those kindergarten years, there was no way I was headed to the store for almond extract. Not to panic, though, I decided to just use vanilla and hope for the best. I did sprinkle some cinnamon on half of them right before putting into the oven to...
