Painless Pancakes

pancakes that won't break your points budget

Craving pancakes but think you can’t spare the points?

Mmmmmmmmpancakes.  They are one of our downfalls, so we decided we needed to find a nutritious, lower calorie and healthier alternative to these Saturday morning favorites.  We like ours covered in syrup, butter and because we’re creative (though some may think we’re weird), we like to add peanut butter and sometimes even cinnamon on top of that.

The cooks at MagicallyDelicious took our demands to the test kitchen and whipped up these taste-alikes that we flipped over.  Here is the ultra-complicated recipe so you can indulge in these lower-calorie pancakes for a hearty breakfast that is full of fiber.

Healthier Grilled Cheese

My dad has this joke we loved when we were younger.  It went something like this:

Dad:  Do you want me to make you a grilled cheese sandwich?

Kids (giggling, already in on the joke):  Yeah!  Make me a grilled cheese!

Dad:  Poof!  You’re a grilled cheese sandwich!

So we loved our grilled cheese.  It was both comfort food and a delicious treat Dad made for us.  Grilled cheese and funny-shaped pancakes were his specialties…probably still are.  I look forward to my nephew giggling over the same corny joke.
