Low Fat Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes
"These low fat whole wheat banana pancakes are low in calories and fat, but not in taste. If you like, you can add blueberries (I recommend wild blueberries, you can buy them frozen and put them directly into the batter frozen). I haven't tried the pancakes with both blueberries and the cocoa powder, so you may want to remove the cocoa powder from the recipe below if you add blueberries. (New addition: I tried them with double the cocoa and using frozen raspberries and they were even better. I broke the frozen raspberries up into smaller pieces after adding them to the batter.) I've actually never used sugar in this recipe--I've always used Splenda. If you prefer thicker pancakes, you can lessen or eliminate the water in the recipe completely. My kids (5 and 2) like to help with this recipe. I have them each mash one of the bananas, and then pour half of the wet ingredients into each of their bowls to mix. Then, when they're added to the dry ingredients, they each get a turn to mix them into the dry ingredients. Also note: I really like vanilla; if you don't, reduce it to 1/2 tsp. FYI--My wife and I lost 45 lbs each recently, and this is one of the recipes I made regularly during our diet."

Creamy Italian Pasta Salad
"If you like simple pasta salads you should try this. I love this in the summer but you could have this any time. I didn't see any other recipes like this that used both dressings so I thought I'd share mine. They really do go well together. This is pretty versatile and you can add any veggies that you'd like."

Thin Pancakes
"A great recipe for those who do not like sponges posing as pancakes. These pancakes come out a little thicker than crepes would be."

Quick Sourdough Pancakes
"This is a great way to use some of your starter without waiting overnight. I made about 4 different recipes to come up with this recipe. I added and subtracted till I got the mix that I likes not to thin not to thick. Hubby is hard to please and even he likes it."

Lunch Box Fun-Due
"From Rachel Ray's Yum-O cookbook. This is a recipe that DD7 picked out to make for us for lunch. :) It fits my requirement that our lunches be healthy and well-balanced. She washed and trimmed the strawberries, peeled the carrots, cut up the cheese, mixed the salsa/dressing, and helped assemble the lunches. A 12 year old could probably make this with just some supervision.

Granny's Pancakes
"This is the way my Granny made pancakes. All the grandchildren had to have them when visiting. We sometimes have them for supper with good ole pan sausage!"
Breakfast and Brunch Recipes
Traditional Swedish Pancakes
"Everyone in my family absolutely adores Swedish pancakes. There are many choices for what to serve them with- They are excellent served warm, sprinkled with sugar and topped with lingonberry preserves. When I was in Sweden, it was popular for the children to top them with a rainbow sherbet. My brothers and sisters like the old fashioned American way of using maple syrup. Personally, I like them best either topped with raspberry or strawberry preserves, or applesauce!"
Breakfast and Brunch Recipes
Cornmeal Pancakes
"I like to joke that these pancakes are so light, you have to hold them down! When we have a chance, we'll make them with freshly ground cornmeal bought at local festivals. From The Best Of Country Cooking 2007"

Colorful Fruit Kabobs
"This is basically fruit salad - on a stick! It's a great, healthy side for kids or elderly people who have trouble handling plates. It does take a bit of time to assemble, but the results look stunning at a baby shower, birthday party, or cookout! The goal is to make the skewer colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue. You can, however, substitute any fruit you'd like.
