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...

The Last 3 Miles

I'm a runner...& by runner I mean I like to run 3-4 miles 5ish days a week. I'm a this is my me time runner, a this is when I talk to God runner, a I quit once it's uncomfortable runner, a y'all are crazy to run marathons runner. I love to run my few miles right after I drop my boys off at school- it's part of my routine, I pull back into the garage & hit the pavement without even going back into the house. My body knows what's happening, my mind is aware of what comes next. It's comfortable. This morning I decided that since I felt so good at the halfway point that I should just keep going! Some runs are easier than others, not sure why but your body just cooperates- this morning's run was one of those runs. I thought, "hey, I'll run 6 miles today!" Crazy. So as I approach the 3 mile mark I turn around & start back on the same path I have traveled, headed back home. Three miles there, three miles back. And can I tell ya, those ...
