Breakfast

Got Pancakes On My Mind

Morning!

I woke up at the crack of dawn for some reason this morning. I just couldn’t keep my eyes shut. Guess that means I’ve had enough sleep, huh? And the one thing I couldn’t stop thinking about was pancakes…..

Nom nom nom this is a pancake made with my beloved Kodiak mix and topped with greek yogurt, almond butter, Kodiak berry syrup and pom seeds. Yep, I think this combo wins the prize for best toppings! I love how 1/2 cup mix always produces the perfect pancake that satisfies me completely.
***
I’m so excited for my day! Later this morning, I’m headed into the city and picking up first Adam and then later this afternoon, my mom. Adam from a business trip, my mom from Florida….and we are hopefully eating brunch here after BethT’s rave reviews. I LOVE San Francisco! Then, it’s back to Sonoma county and to a ” let’s get hot and sauced” holiday party (aka hot sauce gift exchange/hot tubbing/dance party) at Adam and Rocky’s house tonight. Should be a very interesting time….I’ve gotta go buy my hot sauce. 😉
Have a fantastic Sunday!

    Your nut butters always look nice and melted!! I can NEVER get mine like that. It should be a simple task yet I cannot master it. Damn my nut butters.

    Hiii Jenna!! Thank you for introducing us to Kodiak’s pancake mix! I got mine today and I’m totally gonna do the “Jenna Cake” – 1/2 cup mix topped with all those awesome toppings! I usually only do the greek yogurt and almond butter, but the syrup and pom adds so much!! SO pretty! Have fun later gorgeous!!! 🙂

    Your pancakes look so yummy, especially with the pomegranate seeds on top! I never thought of trying that..

    Lucky you, getting up so early. I LOVE getting up early but I’m usually too tired and I just continue to sleep until 8:30. Oops.

    A hot sauce exchange? What a cute idea! Creative parties like that are way more fun than the conventional Christmas gathering. 🙂

    What a breakfast! Now I know what I’m going to eat when I wake up tomorrow. I love that melted nut butter topping – MUCH better than maple syrup. Thanks for the great idea!
