Here's What's Cookin'...

So if you know me, you know I love to cook, and I love to try new recipes. One day I came across a recipe for Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. Yeah, you heard me. Cinnamon Roll. Is your mouth watering like mine was? One night I was short on time, and wanted something easy to make for dinner, so I pulled out the recipe. I actually substituted the majority of the white flour for whole wheat flour, and they turned out so yummy! There is a bit of cinnamon in the mix, so that's why the batter is so dark. It is really thick too. You kind of have to spread the batter out with the measuring cup after you put it on the griddle.

 Then you make the "syrup" which is more like a glaze to pour over the pancakes. I would definately make these pancakes again! They were like dinner and dessert in one.
 My next Pinterest find?... (yes, the pancakes were from Pinterest)... SHREDDING CHICKEN WITH YOUR KITCHENAID! I kid you not! WHY have I never thought of this? How many times I have shredded chicken quickly for dinner, burning my fingers to the core! Never again! Crock pot chicken meet Kitchenaid mixer. You will be friends from here on out! Take note folks, this is finger-saving information!
 This is what a large box of tomatoes looks like after you've borrowed a Vitamix blender and forced them to their saucy demise. Anyone know if Vitamix ever has clearance? Ha ha... I know they don't... One day I will have a Vitamix... one day.... or at least I'll dream of having one someday....
 After the tomato sauce we took a break with Zack's favorite thing... smoothies!
