I have two things to share with you all on this lovely Sunday morning. One is a tad bit more exciting than the other so I’ll have it for last. The first is a recipe for a delicious breakfast item, which just so happens to be what I had for breakfast this morning.
To be quite honest, I’m not a big fan of pancakes or waffles, but sometimes I get the craving for them. This morning it was actually Isaac’s idea to make pancakes, but I went along with it and threw in some ingredients to make them a tad bit healthier (and chocolaty).
Pumpkin Buckwheat Pancakes with Chocolate Chips
- Hodgson Mill Buckwheat pancake mix (prepared per the box instructions with milk, egg, and oil for 6-8 servings)
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 1-2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Mix pancake mix, milk, egg, and oil using an electric mixer or using your own arm power. (I used 1/2 cup almond milk, 1 egg and 1tbsp. canola oil). Add in the pumpkin and chocolate chips. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. Pour 1/4 cup portions of the batter onto a heated griddle at 360° or into a nonstick skillet to cook.
The griddle works well because you can cook all 6 pancakes at the same time, however if you don’t have one simply place the cooked pancakes in a single layer on an ungreased cookie sheet and cover them with foil. Put the cookie sheet in a warm oven (250°) to keep the pancakes warm for approx. 10 minutes while the other cook.
Serve the pancakes with butter and maple syrup. I like to use Earth Balance butter and 100% Maple Syrup.
Now for the exciting part- a giveaway!
When CSN stores offered to let me host a giveaway, I perused their site and easily found many things I would like to have giveaway. I was immediately attracted to their Cookware.com site and found some great Rachael-Ray-Cookware.I’ve always been a big fan of Rachael Ray. Her recipes are usually quick and easy, although I have to try out her cookware line.

I owuld loveeee this giveaway. I am a poor culinary college student! hah

egg sammie with laughing cow!
oh- how nice! One of my favorite breakfast/brunch sandwiches is an english muffin with an egg poached in the microwave, some lox, laughing cow swiss cheese, onion, and tomato. Yum!
My fav way to cook eggs is in a frittata!
Oh my gosh, I need a new pan. If I’m home and can actually enjoy my eggs, I like to scramble a couple with mushrooms and spinach or just fry them up (solid yolks). Considering I take my breakfast to work most days, I usually resort to just hard-boiling them (boo, but still good).
I love scrambled eggs with spinach, cheese, and turkey bacon crumbled in!
I would LOVE the Rachel Ray set!
Hmm, I love frying an egg over medium and putting it on an english muffin with cheese and spinach…. probably my favorite hangover breakfast ; )
My favorite way to eat eggs is scrambled with spinach, red onion and bell peppers. I then put it in a corn tortilla with hot sauce and YUMMO!

I like eating eggs for many reason and many ways…they are just super yummy, eating egg whites still tastes good (compared to having the yolk) and is a healthy way to get in protein. One of my favorite ways to eat them are to sautee green and red peppers and onion, add them to an omelete and top with some 2% cheese. Delicious! I also like to make broccoli/cheddar quiche…quiche is my favorite
