Cootie Queens & Flapjacked Protein Pancakes!

Silas still has his little rash, but it's getting better and he's eating well again, so that's great.  We're switching over to one nap a day.  Yesterday was wonderful, he slept for nearly 3 hours!  Today, he slept for just over 1.  I was not impressed.  Fortunately we had a play date with a friend who has the same virus and cabin fever so we went to play.  It was awesome.  We always joke about the boyfriend/girlfriend stuff and had a good laugh when the two of them went in the closet and shut the door.  Then they climbed into the laundry basket together.  So cute but, neither one of us had a camera with.  Next time! 

Product review time!  I think I have to put the disclaimer in here.  I have not been compensated to review this product, I wasn't even asked to review this product, I just read about it, bought it and liked it.  So I wanted to write about it!  FlapJacked the company did not say to themselves "Gee, we should really send this lady some pancakes so she can tell her 4 readers about us!"  (Hi Mom!!) 

Have you seen or heard of these?  The company is FlapJacked Protein Pancakes.  And they make protein pancake mixes, obviously.  And they're delicious!  I bought the "All Flavor Sampler Pack" which contains Buttermilk, Banana Hazelnut, and Cinnamon Apple. 

They were all so good.  I always want to make protein pancakes, but mine turn out too dense or weird, or I don't have all the ingredients a recipe might call for.  The nice thing about these mixes is all you have to do is add water.  The Buttermilk was light and tasty, just like a plain pancake and the Banana Hazelnut and Cinnamon Apple were very mild, you could taste the flavors, but they weren't artificial or overpowering.  They don't use any artificial colors or flavors.  And the best thing is there is no added sugar, so you can go crazy with the maple syrup, if that's what you're into.  I don't know anyone like that.  I had visions of adding things like sliced bananas or shredded apples into the mixes but they simply didn't last that long around here.  I did manage to add some blueberries to the Buttermilk batch we ate over the weekend and that was delicious! 

Here's a nice group of Banana Hazelnut on the griddle.  

 

Oh sweet blueberries, butter and honey.  

I will definitely be ordering these again, in a much bigger size.  It's not often I find a packaged "just add water" product I feel good about eating or giving to my son.  With Silas feeling under the weather I was happy to give him these knowing he was getting a healthy dose of whole grains and protein.  He gobbled them up, and well, we all did!  Here's a link to their website so you can order your own and invite me over.

 I'm going to have to go eat some toast now, I have a craving for butter the past couple days and I'm out of pancakes on which to put butter, so it will have to be toast.  I think I should take a photography class.  Needs improvement.
