Krusteaz for the Win on #NationalPancakeDay



One of The Amazing Turnip Girl's favorite things in the world is giving Mom a night off by cooking "Breakfast for Dinner". We always have a box of Krusteaz mix on hand because it makes it really easy.

In her mind, pancakes and waffles always go with eggs for dinner, she'll pick one other protein and lots of fruit to go with it.

It's an easy dinner that can be as light or as hearty as you want very simply, and the mixes make absolutely wonderful and consistent results every time.

The Belgian waffle mix is her other favorite. We don't have a Belgian waffle maker, she pulls out her old-fashioned stove top cast iron waffle iron and makes deliciously crisp waffles with pockets for syrup. With dinner, it's usually maple syrup.

I don't have a photo- but in the summer- it's a dessert waffle with fresh-picked berries or stewed rhubarb and ice cream!


The sausage in the above photo is a locally made reindeer sausage that is a family favorite.

One of my favorite things about "Breakfast for dinner" nights is that we can get several kinds of fruits, one or two of each, a couple small things of berries and split them up so everyone gets a variety. It's colorful and flavorful.

We always make extras, so we can use them for lunch. A couple pancakes makes a sandwich special. My favorite is deli turkey, jam, sprouts and cream cheese as an open face cold sandwich on a pancake.

Krusteaz has a lot of recipes and meal suggestions on their website.

Heart Love coloring page

Heart love coloring page- blank available for free to print and color

I'll be honest, I totally hit this with a gradient fill so it could be posted in time. This wasn't originally meant to be a coloring page, it was something that I made for myself. One of my wonderful readers said she wanted to color it. So here it is, with all my love for all the support that I've gotten from all of you.

Click the images below for larger version to print and color of this love heart coloring page.

Coffee is Magic coloring page

Coffee is magic- blank coloring page available
Originally this was not what was planned. What was planned was something that would be utterly inappropriate for my blog and would have been posted a gift for my Facebook friends who are very used to my sense of humor.

Instead, I drew this, and hopefully you all enjoy it.

You can download, print and color this Coffee is Magic coloring page below.
