Purple Pancakes

Ingredients:


2 cups Bisquick
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 cup frozen blueberries



Place blueberries into microwave safe container. Microwave for 15-20 seconds or until thawed. Set aside. In medium mixing bowl mix Bisquick, milk, and eggs. Stir in blueberries. (Can drain some of the juice but we like to mix it in to get the purple color.) Pour batter in 1/4 cup increments onto hot greased griddle. Cook until edges are dry. Flip; cook until golden.



Makes about 14 pancakes.




Small batch of eggless pancakes.


1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup milk
1 cup Bisquick
1/4 cup frozen blueberries with juice


Prepare like above mixing applesauce with batter instead of eggs. Makes 3 large thick pancakes.

Fruit Smoothie

I have to find new and creative ways to give my daughter Carlee her powdered medicine in the morning so what better way than a smoothie! She was kind of getting sick of yogurt and applesauce all the time. She slurped it down really fast. She didn't even wait to sit in her chair. She plopped right down on the floor and sucked it down.

My Ingredients:

1 cup fresh strawberries

2/3 cup frozen blueberries (if using fresh berries add 1/2 cup crushed ice)

1/3 cup orange juice

1/3 cup vanilla soymilk

Pulse in blender until well blended. Enjoy!

Note: This recipe was used before we found out Carlee was allergic to strawberries. Now we substitute raspberries or other fruit for the strawberries!
