Thank you to tea connoisseur Katie Cyr of The Monarch Tea Co. for hooking me up with an amazing Earl Grey Tea Cupcake from Sweet Surprise.

Wow, look at all this amazing community of tea supporters, I’m very grateful.

Pancakes: Be more creative

Thinking outside the box; what can you think of to add to your pancakes either during the cooking process or adding on top after they have cooked? Sweet pancakes? Savoury pancakes? Cheese? Bacon, sausage, chicken?

I make the instant oatmeal but substitute the water with crushed bananas, a little bit of brown sugar and maple syrup. It is such a warming breakfast! Or you could use applesauce instead of water too.
