Differences.
There are a lot of differences in our cute little family, maybe more than usual. Maybe not.
Differences in the way we sleep. Meaning, Hubby does, and I don’t…
Differences in the way we get ready. Hubby = 5 minutes.
Me = The amount of time I am supposed to get ready in + 20 minutes more.. I am always late.
Differences in what we think is funny.
Baby Boo laughs when I say ‘DUH.’
I laugh with Hubby that I finally took his advice and cleaned out my wallet, and that he was RIGHT! I was surprised at what I found..
and then,
Hubby cries when he see’s my Nordstrom’s Credit Card Bill in the Mail…(I thought it was funny that I found my old Nordy’s card). What I didn’t find funny is that Hubby cancelled it.
Major Differences in the way we eat.
Hubby’s favorite Mexican restaurant is Taco Bell.
His all time favorite American Food is a Double Bacon Western Cheeseburger.
And he thinks it is GeniusΒ that someone took two pieces of fried chicken melted cheese in the middle.
Which is why I can justify torturing him at dinner time with the food that I love.
Things like Green Pancakes
When I handed them to him, he asked me why they were green.
I told him…
What you don’t know, won’t hurt you.
One word Sweety Pie…
Nordstroms.
Now eat your Green Pancakes!
Green Pancakes
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup mutligrain baking mix
1/2 cup oats
1/2 coconut milk
1 banana
1 egg
3 TB maple syrup
1/2-1 tsp. Spirulina
1 TB Chia Seeds
1/4 cup pecans-chopped
1/4 black berries
1 tsp. vanilla
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients and mix until smooth. Add more liquid if you prefer a less dense pancake. Pour batter onto griddle pan greased and cook on medium-low heat 3-4 minutes on each side.
When it came time to dig in, Hubby was a little nervous.
There was no way these could be good.
That is unless of coarse…
Nothing like a pound of sugar to make something taste good.
He started to eat..
or shall I say, he started to inhale. He was going so fast, I couldn’t even take pictures.
Slow down turbo, Mama has to blog this moment…
Before I knew it, the pancakes were almost all gone. I asked him what he thought of them, and he said, “THESE.WERE.BOMB!”
I couldn’t help but smile thinking that maybe my ‘healthy’ eating ways were finally growing on him..
That was until he asked me if I would pass him more butter…
And then he finished off the rest of the syrup in the bottle.
mmm those look delicious!
the syrup and the butter certainly don’t hurt either π
haha ya syrup and butter could make dirt taste good! π
whoops sorry I think my email was misspelled in the last post π
Haha, your hubby puts a pound of butter on things to make it taste good too?! The pancakes look great! Then again I have no aversion to green foods like my husband does π
You don’t even WANT to know the types of things he add’s to my dishes π
glad you converted him…for the day!:) My hubby isn’t exactly on the “health” food band wagon either.
we can dream right π
Great job on getting him to eat green pancakes. My husband also uses a ton of butter and syrup. But he wouldn’t touch green pancakes no matter how much butter/syrup I poured on top!
i have to sneak things in here and now…hehehe (evil laugh)
Ari, these look amazing…so moist, flavorful, and delish! I love all your recipes! Green ones too π
you are TOO kind!!
Your hubby is hilarious!! You gotta start somewhere right? Some men wouldn’t even go near green pancakes, after all we don’t live in a Dr. Seuss book π They look so fluffy, I would take those puppies down! And booo on the Nordstrom card cancellation π¦
haha I love it! Perfect DR.Seuss pancakes!..He can take the credit card out of my wallet, but can’t take me out of the store! π
These pancakes look really good. I β€ pancakes but I always feel bloating after eating them, maybe these will go over better with me! Lucky for me my boyfriend loves healthy foods, BUT then on the other hand he eats a lot of fast food.
That is good he eat’s healthy food. At least a little helps right π Pancakes leave me bloated too..more so if I add butter/syrup, so I like them plain or with PB for added protein, or some jam.
The pancakes match his shirt! You were just trying to color coordinate him π
hehe, love that he ate them and enjoyed them after all. you could make me green pancakes anytime!
haha OMG I just noticed that!! So CLEVER! haha jk
and come on over and we will have a food party!
love pancakes and this recipes seriously sounds amazing cant wait to try it out π
Thank you so much π
You are too funny – and your husband with the butter and syrup. That made me think of the movie Elf when he dumps all that candy on his spaghetti. *shudder*
I think your pancakes look fantastic without being totally submerged in sugar. π
I love elf!!
haha and that would totally be my husband..but I would DEF NOT photograph that!
They look pretty fantastic and so thick! Way to make one of my favorite breakfasts/lunch/dinners better!
Pancakes are heaven!
The day I get my boyfriend to eat spirulina, I might just faint! I put it in my smoothies along with some spinach or kale and he get so grossed out by it! haha
hahah that’s so funny! My husband used to be so ANTI-anything remotely unfamiliar!…But now..I am like, YOu have no choice π
booooookmarked!!!!!! β€ you rock. I cant wait to make your BOMB green pancakes =)
tell him to put nordy back in business already =)
THanks love!
I will π
See how happy he is with his plate with green (!) pancakes! π
haha EXTREMELY happy!!

:)!!
Mmm! I have the same problem! Today I said, “Michael, wouldn’t life just be so much nicer as a vegan,” and he said, “I just love the texture of meat” haha! The pancakes look delish!
haha oh boys!
