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 would definitely like to have some Rachael Ray cookware for myself so I’m super excited to give away the 3-Piece “Egg Buddy” Set in Orange. I love eggs – scrambled, poached, fried, and “in the hole,” so I thought this would be perfect for all the other egg lovers out there.

I love eggs many ways but my favorite is a homemade omelet with TONS Of mushrooms!
Look, an eggcellent cooking set giveaway from @EatingBirdFood. http://tiny.cc/PuY5s
I like eggs prepared lots of ways, but there’s a deviled egg tradition in my family. I learned the family recipe years ago from my mother-in-law, and now I bring them to all family gatherings.
My favorite way to eat eggs is in omelet form with broccoli, mexican cheese and breakfast sausage!
Just like I had them this morning — in savory oats! Top oats with an egg white omelet (add some cheese) plus a squirt (ton) of ketchup and voila, yum!
Great giveaway girl, just made a Rachel Ray recipe last night!!! Hope you are enjoying this absolutely gorgeous day
I adore eggs. They are delicious, filling, comforting and the perfect protein! My favourite way to eat eggs is an asparagus frittata with grilled tomatoes on the side. Yum-O!
i like to eat eggs bran appetite style, over easy over oat bran!
scramble with cabbage! and maybe some ketchup!
I love eggs-over easy! Simple and delicious
I love egg whites and my favorite way to eat them is scrambled, omlettes, french toast and protein pancakes
Guess i don’t have only one favorite!
I have been OBSESSED with eggs lately. Eatting them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My favorite way is to scramble with a variety of toppings- salsa and backbeans, fresh herbs and cheese, – the other day I even used some leftover potatoes and bbq shredded chicken- SO YUMMY!!
I love to scramble up an egg with some S+P and make a sandwich out of it. I probably have an egg sandwich 3 times a week for lunch!
I also tweeted
My favorite way to eat eggs is to scramble them and cook them in them microwave so that they make little patties. Then I just put it the eggs on toast with a piece of cheese!
I tweeted
I love scrambled eggs with a little grated cheese. I also love Camp Eggs, which I guess everyone else calls eggs in a hole. Except I scramble my camp eggs. Yum!
I love eggs! My favorite way is scrambled with lots of cheese and veggies!
Off to tweet…
2 eggs, over medium with lots of hot sauce and pepper please!
Tweeted!
My favorite way to eat eggs is as an omelet! Veggie and goat cheese to be exact!
Just tweeted! (@MissyMaintains)
Eggs as part of French toast
Tweeted! My favorite way to eat eggs (and there are SO many ways) is part of challah french toast. Mmmmm. But for the record, I also love very soft scrambled eggs and sunny side up. And basically any kind.
I don’t eat eggs very often because of the texture, but I did happen to enjoy some this morning! I cooked some egg whites and mixed in tomato, spinach, and avocado! Yum.
I would love to win that pan! I like my eggs in a HEAB style protein pancake. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
i love egg white omelettes or eggs benedict
I usually only eat the whole egg, when I visit home, because my dad’s scrambled eggs are perfection. love this giveaway girl!
xoxo
lo
I scramble up my eggs with Mrs. Dash Sundried tomato and basil mix, spinach, toss on top of toasted bread with a slice of turkey bacon…. delish!! Works as breakfast or lunch or dinner!
I like eggs all sorts of ways. My very favorite ways are over easy, omelet, and scrambled and eaten on toast or used to make french toast.

OMG this giveaway is perfect for me — I’m a poor college student with almost no cookware (one crappy pot/pan, one tiny baking sheet), but I love to cook! Anyways, I actually had eggs for brunch today. I like them sunny side up with the yolk nice and runny! Yum!!!
I looove scrambled eggs with all kinds of random veggies for a healthy and filling breakfast, lunch or dinner!
mmmmm i love making my eggs into a frittata (extra crispy on top!) with garbanzos and sliced baby carrots. deviled eggs hold a special place in my heart too, though. :]
I love eggs, some are boiling away on the stove as I type for egg salad. Scrambled, in an omelet, or fired it’s all good, but my absolute favorite way to eat an egg is poached. Check out my blog chocolatemaltz.com for instructions on how to make the perfect poached egg.
i fell in love with all the stuff on that website!!
my fave way to eat eggs is over medium
p.s. tweeted it!
I love making pancakes now that I know how to not burn them. I love eating them on Saturday mornings to start the weekend.
Omelette with lots of veggies and ricotta!
I tweeted this up! @ilanajacqueline
This is going to sound strange and not delicous but my two favorite ways of eating eggs are:
1) Scramble eggs with a packet of sugar, cook and enjoy. You’d be surprsied but this is actually delicious.
2) Fried egg over cous cous. Yolk+carbygoodness=delicious.
I like eggs over easy so I can dip toast in them or I like them in am omelette with peppers and onions!
When I’m out, I love getting poached eggs because they seem too difficult to make at home. When I’m cooking for myself, I love a veggie scramble.
Over easy, for sure!
I love egg white omelets with a bunch of veggies wrapped up in a tortilla! yum.
I like them scrambled with some ham and melted cheese in it. Served with a slice of some perfect whole wheat bread.
I’ll eat eggs in just about any way, shape, or form! But my favorite is probably cooked over medium… on top of oatmeal with salt, cayenne pepper, and cheese!
i luv scrambled eggs with tomatoes & scallions. my aunt makes the absolute best eggs!
Scrambled
Easy, simple. Takes me back to my childhood.
Eggs are the perfect food. Protien, fats, cheap and taste delicious by themselves or with anything else added. I love them with feta and some fresh spinach yum
I have a major girl crush on Rachael Ray and I love cleaning out my veggie drawer by making omelets.
Just tweeted your giveaway too!
I recently started eating eggs again (they were making me feel sick when I ate them, so I avoided them, then that problem went away – who knows…). Anywho, I love making Greek Scrambles & healthier egg salad. Something so comforting about eggs. I also love how quicky and versatile they are:)
Thank you for doing the giveaway!!!
