Whole Wheat Gingerbread Pancakes

November 10, 2014 by EmmaEats

Christmas is one of my favourite holidays… And pancakes are the ultimate breakfast for Emma and Katie. Offer them as an option and they will never be rejected. Now that we’re approaching the holidays, all the girls in our house are pleased — these festive pancakes are flavoured with traditional gingerbread spices and fill the house with a delightfully warm aroma. Truly a wonderful way to start the morning. And my little girls would agree! For this recipe, we use an easy-to-make […]

Oatmeal and Banana Pancakes [Vegan]

August 1, 2013 by EmmaEats

When it’s summer vacation, every day can be Saturday. We’re halfway through the summer and have been working hard making the most of it. How has your summer been so far? On hot sunny days, we’ve been out on the lake, visiting the beach, splashing in wading pools and running through sprinklers. On overcast or misty, rainy days, we’ve been visiting galleries, playing games, watching movies and spending some time in the kitchen coming up with treats to celebrate our time […]

There is no longer any reason to start your morning without pancakes. Even when you’re running late. Like you, I try to do my best to provide a well-rounded healthy breakfast for my kids. Even though it only takes a few minutes to scramble an egg in the microwave/make toast/have a half a banana, somehow, that is too much to coordinate some mornings. Overhearing Emma’s teacher asking the children what they had for breakfast one morning got me thinking. Nearly […]

Remind Me – Mixed Vegetable and Bacon Pancakes

April 19, 2012 by EmmaEats

My father made the best potato pancakes for my brother and I when we were kids. I can still picture him standing next to the sink in our then avocado green kitchen, peeling potatoes one by one and then shredding them with a box grater into a colander in the sink. He didn’t cook often but when he did, I’m quite certain it was appreciated by my mother who normally handled the meal preparation for our family. We loved those potato pancakes. […]

Pretend like it’s the weekend. Now. – Whole Wheat Banana Flax Pancakes

March 12, 2012 by EmmaEats

It’s March Break! It’s maple syrup season! It’s a whole week of gorgeous weather ahead! Could it be spring is nearly here?! With the sudden warm and sunny spring-like weather (who said March comes in like a lion?), Emma, Katie and I are all eager to get up and moving. And of course, with it being March Break for Emma, we’re also hoping to get out and do a bunch of fun activities with our family and friends. We’ll be making […]

Good Morning Sunshine

August 11, 2010 by EmmaEats

We start every morning the same way — Emma wakes up and calls out to my husband, G, and I “Mummy! Daddy! I’m ready!”. This is the indicator that the day is starting, whether we’re ready for it or not. I’m usually not. After some of my own delay tactics (I can hardly wait until someone else wants to sleep in when she hits her teens), we do eventually get moving and it’s on to breakfast. Emma usually is pretty specific […]
