Sweet potato fries are also a staple in this house. These are from Costco, but TJ's sells them too. I like these because they don't get soggy and because P loves "french fries."

Freezer Favorites
I am a working mommy and too tired to cook many nights. When I don't feel like cooking, instead of PB&'J's or cereal, I often rely on TJ's chicken sausages to satisfy us all. Mango is my favorite. They are GF (gluten free) too.

Whole Wheat Pancakes
....Decorated with Ghiradelli white chocolate chips & Knott's boysenberry syrup.*
Whole Wheat Pancake Mix
Serves 3
3/4 c whole wheat flour
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
dash salt
1 tsp sugar
1 cup milk
1 egg white
1 1/2 TBSP melted butter
1 scoop ground flaxseed
Whisk all ingredients until smooth. Scoop 1/4c mix onto hot griddle. Before flipping, sprinkle with a toddler-sized (small) or husband-sized (Medium) or Kevin-sized (TOO MANY!) amount of white chocolate chips. Serve with boysenberry syrup.
My fantastic, measuring cup manager enjoying the fruit of our labor.
*Knott's boysenberry syrup is full of HFC (High Fructose Corn Syrup) so it is a treat. More often I use TJ's (Trader Joe's) lemon curd to sweeten P's pancakes. Heat a tablespoon and drizzle like a glaze.

Welcome to...because food is love!
I'm always trying to devise a way to keep up with the hundreds of recipes that I try. Recipes that I want to pass on to my future daughter-in-laws. ;) What a shame to forget a once-tried, fantastic dish! And I do it all the time! In a quest to live a paperless life- not because I'm an environmentalist- but since paper clutters my house, gets lost, and pisses me off. I bookmark recipes on my computer but almost always modify so to document the changes I've made to the recipes I've compiled, I've started a food blog. Please note that I have probably found this recipe elsewhere and merely added my own flair to it. Not with the effort to claim it but because I don't have sour cream, only plain yogurt. So do not sue me. I am not taking ownership over these recipes, unless, well, I take ownership over it. My goal as a mommy is to make healthy food that tastes good and to teach my son about proper nutrition. I also have a passion for fine wine, expensive alcohol, gourmet meals, and baked goods so this combines all my loves.
