we just discovered it

By -
I have no idea if this is common to everyone and we're just late, but I wanted to share.
Over here at the Arnold household, we love pancakes - all kinds. We love them. Pancakes and eggs are just a great way to start the day.
This morning I asked Ethan to grab the tub of flower for me and he accidentally grabbed powdered sugar. I went to have him put it away and he asked if he could taste it. That followed a long "Mmmmmmmmm!!!!!" and then he asked if I would sprinkle some on his hot pancake. So I lightly buttered them and then sprinkled away! I have 3 kids quietly chowing down on their breakfast, so I'd say it was a success :)

I have no idea if its healthier; less sugar in the actual powdered sugar than in the syrup? I don't know. Its just very, very yummy.

We also LOVE a good, hardy breakfast to start the day! :) Powdered sugar is great-- we use it when we make Swedish pancakes for Christmas morning-- Swenson Tradition! I bet it would also go great with apple sauce for a topping! That makes me hungry! :)

that sounds good, Jess! I've been inspired by my friends Nick and Krista, to make crepes. I need to learn how and then master it and then enjoy :)

yummy...yummy...yummy...powdered sugar is good, so, is brown sugar and peanut butter. I also like apple finely diced in pancakes - tastes yummy and makes them even healthier:) Then there is the diced apple & choc chip pancake combo - I figure no syrup offsets the choc chips:)

We use powdered sugar when we make crepes or waffles, but I've never tried it on pancakes! Yum!

There are so many breakfast foods that are good with powdered sugar. :)

unless you're using real maple syrup, I'd say powdered sugar is definitely healthier. Regular pancake syrup is just flavored high fructose corn syrup. We top ours with unsweetened applesauce and it's soooo yummy!

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be ...

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.  ...
