I had a lot of fun in Cleveland. As I get older, I become more and more aware of the fact that I am who I am because of my parents. I love to exercise because I saw them do it growing up. I love walking my dogs because I saw them do it growing up. I love myself because I saw them do it growing up. I’m passionate because I saw them shine with passion growing up. I love food because they love food. The list goes on.

Doesn’t everyone love food?

But really. I see a lot of my parents in myself. I don’t think there are 2 better people to be my mentors, best friends, and parents. 

Sappy. Holy Sappy!

When I was in Ohio I wanted to do something creative with the pancake mix I found in my parent’s pantry. I decided to bake it as a skillet cake. It turned out surprisingly scrumptious and was overall really easy to make! 

I even used my homemade Cinnamon Applesauce instead of oil/butter.

I was really excited when I saw SoL Unsweetened Sunflower Beverage at my mom’s grocery store, the Giant Eagle. Minnesota represent.

The pancake mix I used for this creation was not gluten free, however it was 100% whole grains! I used Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancake Mix. I have no doubt this work with any other pancake mix out there, even gluten free! 

Topped with a little butter and honey. Ohhhhh em gee. Sort of reminds me of my quinoa cornbread, but sweeter. 

SoL Sunflower Beverage is a similar consistency to almond or soy milk, so it can be used in place of any kind of milk or liquid 

 I highly suggest buying some if you’ve never tried it. Especially if you are Minnesotan. 

This is such an easy way to enjoy the same great pancake flavors, but not have to do any work. I don’t think I’ve ever flipped a perfect pancake. But maybe that’s just me. Baking my pancake got me way better results than flipping them 

Who’s perfect though, right?
