Grocery and Errand Day

Do you always feel like ordering out when you grocery shop. I almost always do and when I once a month shopped I normally would. Now I always plan for dinner to be something I had made already. I made spaghetti 2 weeks ago and froze extra sauce and meat. All I have to do now is thaw, reheat and boil water for the pasta. Thats not too hard.

This morning I am off to the feed store for the rabbits and chickens, a quick stop at Walmart for something that I can not remember right now and really hope I wrote on my list, swing by my friends house to take her to Aldis with me, a stop at the library for Mr Ladybugs book and to see if they have any movies and last but not least pick up the boys prescription. I plan to be home before noon. Not sure if I will make it but I will definitely try.

I promised you pancake mix and by golly you are getting pancake mix. Unfortunately I have no pictures of the made pancakes. I am a terrible pancake flipper I can flip a sunny side egg like a pro but my pancakes look like they have been through a shredder sometimes. Maybe its because I actually really dont like pancakes but Mr Ladybug and the Boybug love them and I love my boys. So almost 5 mornings a week I make pancakes. Anyway the whole time I am fixing them I keep thinking "make these picture worthy" and I did but then I just handed them over to the boy and those things were gobbled up before I could get the pic. So here is your recipe.

Pancake Mix

4 cups all purpose flour
3 TBS baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
3 TBS sugar
1 1/3 cup powdered milk
4 TBS shortening
4 tsp egg replacer like Ener G.

Place all ingredients in food processor and pulse until mixed well. Store in airtight container.


To make 8 pancakes use 1 cup of mix and 1/2 - 2/3 cup of water. If you dont want to use the egg replacement you can just add a 1 egg to 1 cup of mix. I was wanting something that I didnt have to add anything to. I got the egg replacement on sale and it was much cheaper than powdered eggs.
