Baby food pancake recipe. Our favorite.

These are my favorite to make my little.  She can't get enough of them. Also a nice thing here is we but our baby cereal on the economy so they have ones designed for ages with flavors. Today's was strawberry.  Yum!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1 cup uncooked commercial baby cereal
1 cup formula (or another liquid such as milk)
1/2 cup apple sauce.  I used an apple banana one that was rather thick. Baby food could also be used here.
1 tbsp melted margarine or butter (unsalted type)
3 egg yolks
apple juice (about 1/2 cup maybe more) or use water if you prefer. Were adding this for pancake batter consistency. I generally just use water because of the extra sugar juice adds.

Add cinnamon, nutmeg, dash of vanilla or other flavorings if you like. These are so customizable!

Step 1: Mix all ingredients together and add enough juice/water to make pancake consistency.

Step 2: Cook on your cook top in a frying pan as you would with “regular” pancakes. Cooking these baby cereal pancakes on a griddle will work better as you will have more control over the temperature and will be better able to keep the temp. at a constant heat.

Big Mac Attack! Better than the real thing...

Living in abroad for a few years gives us lots of opportunities but it also means lots of cultural differences. Now my fam and I rarely went to eat fast food dinner. Seriously few times a year tops. Even when traveling we'd opt for something like subway a lot. But lets face it sometimes you want some fast food. Well. Here they do not have fast food available everywhere like they do in the good ol States. SO last night I made us our own Big Macs. And they were so much better than what you'd get from McD's....

The Sauce is key to the recipe.
1/4c miracle whip
1/4c mayo
1tsp finely (super fine not just chopped) onion
3 tbs French dressing
1/8th tsp salt
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp ketchup
1 tsp sugar
3tbs sweet pickle relish

Stir it all together. Microwave 25 seconds. Stir again and refrigerate at least 1 hr. before serving...

For the burger You know how it goes. Toasted buns. shredded iceberg lettuce. sliced pickles. a little extra finely chopped onion. AND 2 2 oz. super thin patties.

*tip for the burgers. let the lean beef come to room temp and measure out your 2 oz sections. I rolled them into a ball and then used a round glass to just flatten them really thin since they puff up when cooking. and don't forget to salt and pepper!

Assemble and eat your heart out! We had green beans and tots with extra sauce on the side since it was that good. seriously....
