Fun, Yummy, healthy pancakes! Really!!!!

Love this recipe!
Recently investigated the hype about white flour vs. wheat flour and this is what I learned;
First of all white flour is bleached with the same bleach I use to wash my clothes!!! Unbelievable! And when we bleach the flour, essentially we take the good parts (protein and fiber) who knew I could get protein and fiber from flour?!?!? not me, and simply make it easier to work with......I want my fiber and protein back!
So I invested in my first 5lb. bag of whole wheat flour and tried it out on a recipe for one of our most unhealthy meals of the day: Breakfast!!!! Can you say SUGAR!!!!!!! My kids may as well as for a little cereal with their sugar!!!!
Well here it is and several reasons I love it:
1. My kids aren't asking for something else 15 minutes after they eat because there satisfied longer.
2. I'm adding fruit and it's fun and tasty
3. I can make a whole batch of these and freeze the leftovers so the next morning, I just pop them in the microwave! I love simple! Hope you enjoy making them and the benefits of knowing you're putting something good for you in the "temples" created by and for our Savior!
Love,
Julie

    Switching to whole wheat flour was much more of a breeze than that dreaded switch to skim milk some twenty years ago! The only thing in which I find whole wheat flour unacceptable is bread. A good mixture of white and wheat however does the trick.

Day Eight- Proverbs 3:6

"Seek His will in all you do, and He will keep your paths straight." Proverbs 3:6 Have you had an encounter with a pothole lately. Thankfully, I have not. But my husband drives a thirty-five minute stretch of interstate 75 everyday, and he says it's full of them. "And they get worse everyday." Hmm, sounds a little like my battles in weight loss and life sometimes?! Although my husband, is a very careful and focused driver, these skills are not even enough to avoid the potential of falling prey to another pothole. How does he do it? "By keeping my eyes on the driver I am following." "If he hits one, I can swerve and miss it, if he doesn't, I just follow right along." A two-fold message for me: First, follow the ones who have been there, they can help you avoid the pitfalls and potholes. Learn from their mistakes. Seek their counsel, friendship and accountability. Got a friend who has maneuvered a "pothole" successfully? And now y

Malachi 3:6 Do you have "issues?"

"I am the Lord thy God, and I do not change. That is why you, the descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed." Malachi 3:6 Do you have "issues?" Most of us can answer that question with a resounding "YES, with a capital YES!" But have we ever really thought about why we have "issues?" Most of us have "issues" of one form or another because of chaos and change in our lives where there should have been consistencey and peace. A lack of stability, where a firm foundation should have been laid. Fear, where safety should have existed. The absence of love, where there should have been an abundance. Because, "issues" have touched all of us God reminds us in His word that He does not change! He is " the same, yesterday, today and forever ." Hebrews 13:8 God offers me the consistency and stability I need. There is no need for me to attempt to create it on my own, He is ready and waiting to give it to me. Did you know th
