Tip Of The Day:

Make your supermarket pancake mix better!
Here is a trick to make your ordinary supermarket pancake mix better and it's easy.

I use Krusteaz light & fluffy Buttermilk Complete Pancake Mix. I actually get it at Costco in the 10 lb bag. You just need to add water. Any boxed mix will do.

When we make pancakes I add a little cinnamon and vanilla. It makes the best pancakes! You can also add a dash of nutmeg for a cold winter morning! They taste and smell great!

To make sure the kids get their healthy serving of fruit you can also add applesauce, canned peaches (in natural juice), bananas, shredded apples, or any soft fruit you can mash or chop up real fine. Most of the time the kids don't even know I have added something healthy and eat it up!

Potato Pancakes - Use your cheese shredder to shred a potato. Add the potato to the pancake mix. Cook per instructions on box. Just like Grandma used to make!

Waffles - you can do the same for waffles, just follow the cooking directions on the box and add your favorites!

Enjoy!
