Shurmmy Pancakes

popcornmusic — Sun, 05 May 2013 10:45:00 -0400

Shure r yummy pancakes:

1 1/2 cups lowfat vanilla yogurt (don’t tell the kids about this part)

1 1/2 cups flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

dash of cinnamon

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

2 tbs melted butter

Preheat oven to 200 for pancake waiting zone. Without worrying about wet and dry order, mix up the batter with a whisk, but not too much. Use a 1/2 cup scoop to dole it onto the preheated non-stick pan. Don’t say anything about yogurt or even mention a secret ingredient to insure no leftovers.

MARCH 16, 2012

Still unrequited hankering for fish tacos. For some reason I couldn’t bring myself to go to Berryhill. So we ended up with catfish and shrimp from Boudreaux’s Cajun Kitchen. May have violated the regional/national chain boycott.

Hit the Rodeo Carnival and ate fried zucchini, popcorn, cotton candy, caramel apple, and Michelob Ultra.

MARCH 15, 2012

Happy Birthday to my amazing twin sons! To celebrate we packed up the van and headed to Brenham by way of Cypress. Birthday eats started with Whataburger BOB’s and OJ.

Lunch scramble at the Bread Basket Cafe near the courthouse. I rather enjoyed my vegetarian rueben with avocado, kraut, and mustard in lieu of thousand island.

Very nice tour of the Blue Bell Creamery complete with very generous scoop of ice cream at the end.

Back to Cypress for the cupcakes. Reward for braving crazy 290 evening rush hour traffic with 5 kids was a stop at Rudy’s. (Unable to facilitate bbq stop in Brenham.)

I had never been to Rudy’s, but I have always noticed it. They are sponsors of the Daytripper, whom I greatly admire. This 29-95 analysis of Houston barbecue completely sold me. Sorry, Goode Co, I am now a Rudy’s girl. Even after they forgot to give me my link. R called and the manager comped the whole $12 late afternoon snack.

When it’s Spring Break, mommy can spend all day making creme filled chocolate cupcakes with chocolate ganache and strawberry poke cupcakes with strawberry meringue buttercream. Who knows what they had for dinner. They were busy watching Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall.
