Brooke's Bites: Whole Wheat Blueberry & Granola Pancakes

Yep- you read that right- zucchini in your pancakes! And they're so easy it feels like you're cheating! Think of a warm, sweet, soft blueberry muffin in pancake form- mind blowing, right?! Plus it's healthy! Score! If you're opposed to a little store bought help feel free to just add zucchini to your favorite whole wheat pancake recipe, but for convenience sake (bc my 9 &7 year old keep me crazy busy) I've taken a little help from Ms White!

Get it:
-1 package Martha White whole wheat blueberry muffin mix (told ya- easy!)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 medium zucchini 
- 1/2 cup milk (I used buttermilk because that's what I had but you can use soy or almond or good ole cow milk)

Do it:
- mix all above mentioned ingredients in a bowl (grate your half zucchini right in there using your favorite grater- I use a hand held cheese grater)

- whisk it all together until kinda smooth ( I mean a little lumpage never hurt nobody)

- cook over medium- high heat until bubbly then flip-aroo.

- if you're like me eat 'em right off the press or if you're like my kids & toppings tickle your fancy, top with your favorite topping like whip cream, fresh berries, syrup, or whatevs! Yummy! Let me know what ya think 😉

HOPE

I arrived at New Life Church in Conway this morning wearing my red Arkansas Dream Center tee shirt, ready to serve- after all the shirt says SERVE on the back in huge white writing, right?!  I was fully anticipating meeting broken people- people who were angry, hurt, & in desperate need. I was prepared to roll my sleeves up & get dirty. To serve. *Boy was I wrong!* - So I reported to some friendly faces in the foyer of the church and said "Put me to work! What can I do?" It was almost 10:30ish and they were getting ready to bring lunch to all the volunteers helping to clean up the tornado wrecked towns of Vilonia & Mayflower, AR. So I was quickly introduced to the lady in charge of getting the meals distributed to the proper areas. I then was paired with another woman, handed a sheet of paper with directions, my car was packed with sack lunches & water & we were off to save the World. Me and a woman I only met moments before. As we drove up to Beryl Road i

It's finally here ladies! Longer days, shorter sleeves, bright colors, & happier moods! Time to paint your piggies a bright color & let them free after a long winter shoved in boots! Grill some veggies, eat some fruit, lay in the grass, stare at the blue sky, smell the breeze, smile, laugh, be happy! Shake those winter blues! Get in the yard & hula hoop, do handstands, ride a bike, take a hike, throw a party, BBQ, go fishing, walk with a friend, go for a jog, plant in your garden, just get outside! Hope in the future, live for the moment, bloom where you're planted, shine love, hope in the unknown! Thank God for today- because it is glorious!

These Walls

5 years & 3 months ago we moved into our beautiful new home. I loved it! I picked out every last piece- from the wood slatted doors to the floor trim to the beveled edges on the walls...it was our new home. A place we had dreamt about building for years. From humble beginnings as newlyweds in a 900 sq ft home to this new gorgeous custom built home. It was fabulous. We were so proud. Right at 2,000 sq ft, beautiful molding around the windows & doors, custom cabinets, fireplace & mantel to my exact specifications, a playroom for two growing boys (then 1 & almost 4). Perfection.  Fast forward a year and a half & I was suffocating in this once oasis. My 2 year old turned into a raging terrible two's with the blink of an eye. That sweet precious 5 year old missed the kindergarten cut off but lord knows I would've sent him if they would've let me. I was unraveling. And why? Well....all us moms have been there before, am I right?! All I knew is I had to get out
