Blender Pancakes

I added some handy links in the right column for different sites about food storage including a food storage calculator.

If you want to shop the sales at lots of different stores but don't have the time or desire to drive around, you can price match advertised sales at Wal-mart. I have never had to show them the actual ad, but was told once that they were going to start requiring that you have the ads with you, so it's not a bad idea to stick the ads somewhere each week incase you want to do this.

That being said, here are some hot deals worthy of stocking up on:
Smiths> Chicken breasts still on sale for $1.89/lb
Smiths> Kraft BBQ sauce $0.69/18 oz.
Smiths> green seedless grapes $.99/lb (can freeze and throw in fruit smoothies, makes them juicy and delicious)
Harmons> Dreyers ice cream 2/$4
Harmons> Grandma Sycamore bread 3/$5

BEST DEAL of THE WEEK....
$1 for 12 oz honey at Buy Low grocery in Provo. I know it's a long drive, but we could order as a group. Let me know if you want some. I'll call Wal-mart and see if they'll price match that particular store. Honey at Costco has been about $2 per pound lately. This is the best deal I've seen in the last year. And, by the way, honey pretty much lasts forever. If it turns hard as a rock, you just need to gently heat it and it's back to its regular consistency.

Here's the recipe for the blender pancakes just to get the ball rolling:

Whole Wheat Blender Pancakes
1 cup milk (or 1 cup water and 3 Tbs powdered milk)
1 cup wheat berries, uncooked (whole wheat, not ground)
2 eggs (or 2 Tbs powdered eggs and 1/4 cup water)
2 Tbs oil
2 tsp baking powder
2 Tbs honey, sugar or brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
In blender, combine milk and wheat. Blend 4-5 minutes, until smooth.
Add other ingredients and blend on low speed just until incorporated.
Bake on hot griddle. Makes 10 1/4 cup pancakes. Add frozen blueberries while on griddle to make this even yummier.

Homemade Syrup
Water
Brown Sugar
White Sugar
Mapeleine brand flavoring
Follow directions on the Mapeleine label, but instead of the two cups of sugar it calls for, use one cup sugar and one cup brown sugar for a richer flavor.

  1. I LOVE this recipe and use it almost every morning. I've found that if time is of the essence, I can use 1 cup of whole wheat flour instead of the 1 cup of unground wheat. It mixes up quick and easy. My children love it!!
