Why Eat Out? Easy Cakes for Breakfast!

Tuesday, January 10, 2012

My husband and I are almost ready to buy a house! yay! We are finally about there, but with a few things left on the list we are squeezing our pennies. It is a great feeling when you are almost reaching a goal you have set a long time ago, but when pinching pennies you have to find a way to have fun! We have been trying to eat in for all our meals lately and breakfast is no exception.My daughter would have scrambled eggs for every meal if I would let her. So sick of eggs and cereal, I have been making waffles and pancakes. She is two and thinks that since it says cakes at the end of the word they are cakes. So she tells me she wants "cakes" for breakfast. I was thinking, "yum cake for breakfast".  So I started tweaking my recipe for my plain Jane pancakes to... why do you need IHOP breakfast cakes!
