Sleep Over Sunday

Do you ever find yourself with extra children at your house? That may seem like an odd question, but it really is a thing. Once you have x amount of children, sometimes other children just kind of sneak their way into your home. Having five children between the two of us, its bound to happen from time to time.

I usually only do grocery shopping enough for one week at a time, and for the amount of people I know I will have at the house. Things happen though, and you end up with those extras. We live a good 20 miles or so from the nearest grocery store so jumping up early in the morning to run to the grocery store to pick up a few items just isn't always feasible.

I have found the breakfast item that all the children love, that's easy and really cheap to keep on hand.

Chocolate Chip, Blue Berry, Banana Nut or Mixed Berry Pancakes! Now, hang in there- I know your thinking that all of those call for a ton of ingredients, or will take a lot of time. Your thinking about finding fresh ripe blueberries, and lovingly folding them into the batter- but I can tell you- My trick is so much easier than this! It is really only 3 ingredients, 4 if you count the butter!

All you do is mix one package of muffin mix, with one egg, and about 1/2 cup of milk. If they are too thick you can add just a little more milk until you get the right consistency.  Then cook them just like pancakes! Its really that simple! So- even though we are pinching our pennies, our kids think they are getting a super special treat with these! You can get about 6-8 pancakes with each package depending on how big you make them. What's even better? If your out of pancake syrup or don't have enough to go around, you really don't need it with these. They are so sweet and yummy! Hope you enjoy!
