Cooking With Kids Thursday: French Toast Kebabs

August 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment

I am not a morning person so during the week breakfast consists of either cereal or cereal bars.  Saturdays are our special breakfast day.  We usually have pancakes.  A couple of times we have tried french toast but it hasn’t gone over very well with the kids, but I have a feeling that will all change once we put it on a stick.  Seriously, what is it about a stick that makes food suddenly taste better and seem cooler?  I am thinking we will let the kids assemble their own just to mkae it even more fun.  Thanks Pink Parsley!

Here’s what you need to make these:

  • 1 large loaf of bakery bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pint blueberries (or any other fruit you might like to use)
  • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • butter or cooking spray, to cook the bread cubes

Here’s how to make it -> French Toast Kebabs Tutorial

Red Velvet pancakes breakfast recipe!

May 20, 2012 by Leave a Comment


On Sunday mornings, I typically make pancakes for my kids.  We love to experiment and add different things to our pancakes or try different recipes, but in a discussion on Facebook about what we were having for breakfast, Casie mentioned Red Velvet pancakes.  I’ve heard of and LOVE Red Velvet cake, but the concept of Red Velvet pancakes was a new one for me and a lot of others as well!

Casie was kind enough to share her recipe with us.  This won’t be our breakfast this morning, but we’ll DEFINITELY be trying it out on Sunday!

Ingredients (pancakes):
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
12 ounces buttermilk
4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon vinegar
2 teaspoon red food color

Ingredients (glaze):
4 ounces softened cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Add a few drops of milk to get consistency to drizzle

For pancakes, mix all dry ingredients together first, then add “wet” ingredients.  Garnish the “finished product” with pecans if you choose!

Thanks again Casie for sharing this recipe!

What’s For Breakfast: Puffed Oven Pancakes!

October 9, 2011 by Leave a Comment

My kids love this Puffed pancakes recipe that I shared with you a few weeks ago.  My friend Alisa recently posted another recipe for Puffed Oven Pancakes from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook.  I got this cookbook as a wedding gift and have referred to it many times through the years, but somehow I missed that recipe!  I decided to test it out this morning!

Here’s the recipe: 

2 T butter
3 eggs
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. milk
1/4 t. salt

Place butter in 10 inch oven proof skillet (I don’t have an oven proof skillet, so I just used a pie tin). Place in oven at 400 degrees for 3-5 mins or until butter melts. Meanwhile, for batter, in a medium bowl use a wire whisk to beat the eggs. Add flour, milk and salt and beat until smooth. Immediately pour all batter into hot skillet. Bake for 25-30 mins or until puffed and well browned.

Top with fruit, syrup and powdered sugar.
