As a busy mama, breakfast can be a struggle. Breakfasts high in protein are a goal for me so I know my kiddos and I have enough brain food to last us til lunch. These summer berry protein pancake bites are perfect because they are SUPER quick to make, they have an extra boost of protein, and they have a wonderful flavor thanks to the berries.
We make a large batch to freeze leftovers for easy reheating in the microwave on busy mornings. All we do is allow them to cool completely, package up 5-6 summer berry protein pancake bites per sandwich bag, and store all of the sandwich bags in a gallon freezer ziploc bag. Then just pop it in the freezer!
I can’t tell you what a relief it is to have a hot protein packed breakfast ready for the kiddos by just popping a few on a plate from the freezer and microwaving them for 1 minute. No syrup needed thanks to the berries, so its mess free! It really doesnt get better than that for me,
I hate tomatoes. I mean loath them with a passion. I think fresh tomatoes are a slimy scourge sent down from some alien planet. I can eat tomato sauce, ketchup, and salsa but have never been able to hold down a fresh tomato. I don’t know the reason why but they make me gag. I have tried to psych myself up and buckle down and force myself to avail. Read More →
It was my little sister’s birthday and we were having a full on Chinese food night with stir fry, egg rolls, shrimp fried rice, dumplings, and crab rangoon on the menu. As always, when there is a wide variety of cooked dishes to be made at the same time, the kitchen quickly got very hot, and I got very frustrated.
I could only wrangle one little helper into the kitchen that night, and I had him making the egg rolls. While he was working I made the fried rice, and stir fry. Then I noticed the wonton wrappers sitting on the counter….
Oh…right.
The rangoons.
The part everybody was looking forward to the most.
It’s a good thing it doesn’t take that long, I thought. I started getting out the ingredients and I went to the fridge to grab the crab last….
Oh.
Oh no.
No crab……
I frantically looked through the kitchen for anything I could use to substitute from the crab. For a while I was seriously thinking about using Spam. Luckily I noticed a few cans of Bumble Bee® Prime Fillet® Albacore Tuna with Jalapeños & Olive Oil. My helper was about halfway done with frying the egg rolls, so I grabbed the tuna and started working.
I don’t know if you guys already know this about me, but I can be a super lazy chick. My clothing normally consists of pajama pants, a tank top, and a dirty hoodie. All to be topped off with an extremely messy bun. So, I love food that allows me to be in and out of the kitchen quickly so I can tend to my other duties.
It’s a weird combination, but I am super lazy and super busy at the same time. These scones are very easy to make and not very time consuming, which makes them perfect for me! Read More →
