pumpkin pancakes revisited+Eden

When this girl speaks there are two options:

1. Her "tickle-tickle" noise "di-di-di-di!" with a scrunched up face and smiling like a crazy girl.
2. Yelling.

Currently her four main food groups are:

1. pumpkin pancakes
2. grapes
3. rice+peas+carrots+beans
4. eggs

Apparently my love of pumpkin everything is genetic. She is obsessed with pumpkin pancakes. I toyed with THIS recipe today making it vegan, and whole wheat. Now before you stiffs stick your nose up at sound of this, try it. They are impressively good.

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup apple sauce
• 3/4 cup soy milk
• 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

mix the dry together, then the wet, then combine until just mixed.

Cook them on medium/high heat on non-stick surface, and be patient, they take a little longer than normal pancakes.

I make a batch and then stick them in baggies and they go on adventures with us...we eat a batch of pumpkin pancakes a day.

No joke.

...if you are eating them actually sitting down,

try them with this:

cinnamon syrup:

• 1 cup brown sugar (or one cup sugar and 3 tbsp molasses)
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla

bring to a boil while stirring, let cool, scarf down.

Enjoy.

Speaking of delicious,

look at her, specifically look at those legs.
