fancy shmancy brekie

Whenever I get a day off work (like today yay!) I make myself some fancy breakfast. Well when I say fancy I meant something my brother does not normally eat - something sweet for breakfast like pancakes and french toast.
Today I made myself some banana chocolate pancakes. Pancakes I think is one of the most versatile breakfast items ever. You can make it sweet or savory, healthy or sinful, decadent or skinny from a box or from scratch.

I made them from a box, sweet and a bit sinful. I had some left over banana from a previous baking experiment that I wanted to use. I normally just slice the bananas and put them on top of the pancake but since they are a bit over ripe I roughly mashed them (I wanted some chunks) into the batter and omitted the egg instead.

I added some chocolate chips of course but opted to sprinkle them on top - sandwiching them in  between pancakes instead of throwing then into the batter. I did not want the chocolate melting and scorching into the pan so I decided to do it like so - this way the chocolate melts in between the pancakes and you have sort of a self saucing pancake!

Chocolate Banana Pancakes
ingredients:
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 2 medium sized banana
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1/2 to 1 cup of milk
- chocolate chips or morsels
- butter for cooking

how to:
- mash the bananas in a bowl
- add the pancake mix
- add the oil and gradually add the milk until batter is of right consistency
- heat a non stick pan or griddle melt some butter into it and laddle the batter into the pan
- flip the pancakes over when bubbly on top
- stack the pancakes sprinkling chocolate in between

tower of sweetness

moist and chocolatey! just the way I like my pancakes!

pudding new life to stale bread!

In this time where there can be shortage of food supplies, we can not afford for anything to go to waste - which is the norm in our household in any case. Today while checking out our ref I found 2 left over buns from last week's lunch. They were stale and hard but do not have any molds - I did not want to throw them out so I rummaged through the pantry for any other leftover stuff I could use to make bread pudding. I found a couple of merengue - I did not know of any recipe for bread pudding using merengue but what the heck, I will just throw it in there too instead of throwing it out... There was also a bit of pink sugar left from a previous baking project... I have some milk, eggs, a packet of raisin and nuts... PERFECT! lets make bread pudding shall we? Bread Pudding Ingredients: - about 2 cups left over bread - 1 cup milk - 1 egg - sugar to taste - toppings of choice (nuts, dried fruits, chocolate etc.) How to: - cut the bread into small pieces- in a ...
