Morning Snack

This morning's snack is more of a late breakfast than a snack. I had a craving for pancakes so I decided to make strawberry pancakes. I used a regular boxed pancake mix and added fresh strawberries into the batter, you can put any type of fruit into these pancakes I just happened to have fresh, sweet berries. The pancakes came out fluffy and delicious, just remember not to over mix your batter otherwise the pancakes will not be light and fluffy instead they will become very chewy. Pancakes are the perfect meal they are filling and satisfying, create your own pancakes today and enjoy!

recipe of the day

Fast food gets a healthy twist on today's episode of 30 Minute Meals. Rachel Ray takes the all american meal of a burger and fries and makes it healthy and easy to make at home. Her recipe for turkey chili burgers combines all of the flavor we love but don't have to feel guilty for eating. Her recipe includes everything you love in chili but making it into a burger. Chili seasoning adds an extra kick while cheddar cheese runs all through the burger in order to make it moist. She makes a refreshing cole slaw to go along side these burgers, the cole slaw is very healthy because the dressing has no mayonnaise in it. Who can eat a burger without french fries? I know I can't.. She takes a regular package of frozen french fries but gives it a twist by putting garlic butter all over them and baking them in the oven. This is a wonderful twist on the typical hamburger and french fries, and for once you don't have to feel guilty for eating fast food.
