Lauren's Kitchen: Pancake Puffs

Pancake Puffs

The first time I saw this little pancake puff thingie on TV, I thought it was the lamest thing ever. I mean, really? A pan to make pancake puffs? It didn't help that the infomercial itself was the epitome of corny and cheesy.

And then I saw this little pan at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and it just called out to me in this little pitiful voice, begging me to buy it.

So I did.

I just used a basic pancake recipe, but as you can see, I added bananas in the ones I made for Ryan:

...and chocolate chips into the ones for me and Pat!

It comes with a little recipe book, so I'll probably be checking them out - especially the brownies ones. YUM!

Before my wedding in 2003, my idea of cooking was Kraft mac and cheese. My mother and my mother-in-law even left me several boxes of the blue box on my counter the day we returned from our honeymoon. I believe a few showed up in the wishing well at my bridal shower, too.

Once I became a Mrs, however, I figured I'd need to step it up in the kitchen.

I rarely prepared anything from scratch, though; it was frozen stuff chicken and rice in a pouch all the way.

About a year (and 20lbs) later, I decided that something needed to change in the kitchen. I went on a diet and lost the weight, but knew I needed to lose the habits too.

Armed with Rachael Ray cookbooks and the internet, I slowly began to expand my repertoire. I joined an online cooking forum and subscribed to about eleventy billion cooking blogs.

Cooking remains a challenge, however, as two sweet little boys joined our family over the last few years. Coupled with my full time job, I look for meals that are healthy and easy.

I also discovered a love for photography along the way, and while I'm about as unprofessional behind the camera as they come, I really enjoy honing my skills on my dinner - mainly because it can't run away like my two wild boys can.

I love maintaining this blog, and I hope you like visiting.
