I'm serving up a few tasty treats for you today!
The first specialty of the house is our new favorite way to have breakfast.
Rainbow Pancakes
Yes, that is pancake batter. Now. There is no need to silently nod to yourself in victorious gloating satisfaction because (hanging head)... you were right. I am obsessed with food coloring.
Food coloring and making my kids happy.
Now that's one happy short stack.
My kids have never eaten so many pancakes in one sitting before. They were loving it! Seriously... if you want to start out your day with the most gloriously happy children, just try these yummy rainbow pancakes.
I used a version of this recipe, and added food coloring, flax seed, and love.
Don't forget the love.
Sorry. I couldn't help myself. I am corny like that.

_________________________________________________________________________________
Well, in addition to serving pancakes to our very special guests today (thats you!), I am also offering the specialty of the house.
Some magic cookies.
Because, if all goes well, they will magically help one exceptional blogger friend sell her house!
That's right... I made my very sweet friend Kami 'Open House' cookies!
Each cookie has their address written on it. How smart is that?? Wish I had thought of it.
You can bet that everyone who goes to their open house will remember these address cookies!
Did I mention what a great idea this is???
I think Kami might be on to something.
_________________________________________________________________________________
And yes, our menu would not be complete without some sweet, sweet honey.
As in the Winnie the Pooh variety.
I recently visited the local thrift store... and had a blast finding a bunch of stuff that I didn't even know I needed!
Have I told you I am obsessed with Classic Pooh? No? I'm surprised it doesn't come up in conversation more often.
I came across this poor pitiful book that is in such terrible condition.
I love it.
It was first published in 1926. This copy is from 1957.
It is perfection.
Wonderfully colorful and detailed illustrations.
Sweet tales and songs that can keep even the most fidgety child interested.
I even got some cookbooks! I think it was $4.50 for these.
I might have bought the Country Desserts book just for this recipe.
Butterscotch Sauce. Does it really need to go on anything?
Isn't it sorta like a sweeter version of milk and should be consumed on a daily basis for its vitamins and nutrients?
Yeah. I'm going with that.
And to top off a wonderful shopping experience, I even got this gem for FOUR DOLLARS!!!
I know!
Oh... not the baby. The bowl.
Its huge! Perfect for big cakes and big orders of sugar cookies.
Well, I don't know about you, but my sugar buzz is almost wearing off! Maybe I should stop by CF Mama's house and have a piece of cake...
If anyone else attempts one of the crazy recipes I put on my blog, be sure to let me know! I just may feature you!
Gay pride pancakes! I'm gonna make these for my husband for our anniversary next month.

These diverse voices agreed that the 'rules' that govern the dairy market are really skewed, and that the pricing system and supply controls needed to be evaluated and changed.

Well said. I never thought I would agree with this opinion, but I’m starting to view things from a different view. I have to research more on this as it seems very interesting. One thing I don’t understand though is how everything is related together.

What a great idea for the address cookies! Too bad I didn't see this when our house was on the market earlier this year! Oh well- I may make them with our new address once we move in and serve them at our house warming party :) Any excuse to make cookies...right?!

Totally going to make those pancakes this weekend!
Posted by: thecheapuggboots | September 17, 2010 at 09:11 PM
Ugg boots typically has a unique glimpse from other kinds of boots. It is in fact this distinctive glimpse that makes it stand out inside the crowd. The expression ugg is truly the shot for ugly. Thus ugg boot in simple fact meant unsightly boot. But these days these boots are no longer deemed as unpleasant, they are moreover thought of as one with the most fashionable and snug footwear from the style industry. Just imagine walking miles on an undulated terrain in a pair of higher heels! What would be the result?

Loved this, Amanda! The photo belonging to the Pooh guide melted my heart. We possess a bunch of outdated Pooh guides and I adore them. And of course, I adore your cookies, as always. You are this sort of a talented woman. many thanks for your cozy stop by here!

I work 2nd shift so I cherish mornings when I have a day off and can spend them with my husband and son. I found a made from scratch buttermilk pancake recipe and now they will only eat "my" pancakes. I like making my son's in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head. I'm going to make a blue one - his current favorite color - this weekend... he'll get a kick out of it! Thanks for sharing! :-)

This are so CUTE. And I have made a rainbow cakes for both of my girls for their birthdays, even with fondant 'toys' on top as their special birthday treat... so I don't think you are a bad mommy at all. I'm curious, when you add the flax seed to the pancake recipe, how much do you use? And do you subtract some of the butter or anything? I'm curious so I can surprise my kids with it this weekend!
Posted by: Erin Blodgett | January 14, 2011 at 12:30 PM
These look AMAZING!!! I've always been a sucker for anything rainbow, since my mother filled my room with rainbows as a child. And I love pancakes, so it's a win-win!
I'm currently pregnant with my first child, and I can't wait until he or she is old enough for me to make these for them! Thanks for the great idea

Are you seriously feeding your kids RAINBOW pancakes for breakfast? That's beyond HORRIBLE! What kind of mother ARE YOU?
lmao I can't believe people get so bent out of shape over some flippin' rainbow pancakes. Maybe if their mommies would've made them some FUN breakfasts when they were kids, they wouldn't have sticks up their asses now.
I linked you on my blog... I hope you can stop by some time. You seem like a great lady. :)
