Blender Wheat Pancakes
This is a recipe from an old church cookbook. Makes 6-8 pancakes~we always at least double the recipe.1 cup milk
1 cup uncooked wheat kernels
Put milk and wheat in blender. Blend on highest speed for 4-5 minutes or until batter is smooth. (note from Melissa here: don’t leave it on the counter blending while you run to the bathroom. You may hear a terrible crash and find wheat pancake batter on every inch of your kitchen counter, floors, and cabinets and spend the rest of the morning cleaning it up. Just stay close by.)
Add the following ingredients and blend on low:
2 eggs
2 Tbsp. oil
2 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp. honey or sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Bake on hot griddle. (I use 1/4 c. of batter on a 300 degree griddle. Perfection!)
Waffle variation: Use above recipe and add on additional Tbs. of the wheat and increase oil to 4 Tbs. Bake in waffle iron until done.
Kelsey’s Yummy Syrup
(this is our favorite syrup ever from my sister, Kelsey. It pretty much cancels out anything healthy in the wheat pancakes, so we try to reserve it for special occasions…so it’s wicked and good at the same time.)
1 stick butter
½ c buttermilk(you can make your own by adding 1 Tbsp lemon juice or vinegar with regular milk to make 1/2 cup)
1 c white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp baking soda
Bring butter, sugar, baking soda, and buttermilk to a boil for one minute. Turn off heat and then add vanilla. Syrup will bubble and become frothy because of the baking soda, but once it cools, it will go down and will be ready to serve. Freeze or refrigerate leftovers.
Happy Tuesday!
About the purse: I got it last year at Target at the end of the summer clearance for 6 or 7 dollars when we were in Montana visiting. I had forgotten about it, but found it when I was unpacking a box and was excited to switch to a spring/summery purse.
I was picking my son up from preschool last week~this is not a preschool that has a handy dandy drop off line where you drive up, they get out with their teacher, you go. Oh no, it’s not.

Jennie cut and then glue-gunned these flowers for her Target pillow knock-off. My kind of girl!

Here is the secret formula for the paint in the entryway at Lowes. The nice guy there color matched it for me and then printed off the formula in Valspar paint. This may be too dark if your room does not have a lot of light, but you can always add white to lighten it up. I love it and would describe it as a blue-green-gray.
The white board on the left wall was from a yard sale~it was $5 for the board, the markers, and the eraser. Wahoo! I would love to frame it out in chunky red moulding, but that’s so far down on the list, it will probably never happen! We love to use it for phone messages and grocery lists (and to take down to use for playing school)
It was our neighborhood cleanup this weekend, when everyone puts out what they don’t want and the city comes to pick it up. I plucked up a few things from my neighbor’s piles {thank you, nice neighbors who throw great things away!}
