2 Ingredient Pancakes

These are the easiest, most kid friendly, inexpensive and delicious pancakes you have ever had.  If you're a banana lover that is.  Oh...and did I mention, gluten free!

My kids are pretty picky eaters, so when they started eating these pancakes, I was pretty excited! This is a super easy recipe, something I always appreciate in the morning!

Ingredients:

2 Eggs
1 Banana

 Take the banana smash it with a potato masher or just a fork.  Then add the eggs.

Whisk the eggs and bananas until they are all mixed together.  The batter will look a little lumpy, that's fine.

Then cook in a non-stick pan, just as you would a typical pancake.  (I put a little bit of butter in the pan, just for taste.)  They are more like crepes, thin and fragile, so be careful when flipping them.

I get about 5 medium size pancakes out of one recipe.  My kids love them with a little bit of maple syrup, or even some jelly.

Hope your family loves these as much as we do!  Enjoy!!

DIY Wood Polish

Ever wonder what's in your wood polish you buy at the store?  Lots of chemicals that you may not want to breath in after looking them up!!

I've been doing some research and found a very effective and inexpensive DIY Wood Polish recipe.  I found the recipe at Fabulous Farm Girl, a great website, totally worth checking out!!

Here's what you'll need

1 3/4 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
20 Drops Lemon Essential Oil
1 Spray Bottle

*I purchased the Lemon Essential Oil on Amazon for $6.64 + FREE shipping on Amazon.  NOW Essential Oils 1 fl. oz.

Take the ingredients and mix in a bowl with an immersion blender.  (If you don't have an immersion blender, you just mix it well with a  whisk or in a mixing bowl with the whisk attachment).  Mix until all ingredients have become incorporated.

Then pour into an empty, clean spray bottle.  (I purchased this at my local Dollar Tree.)

There you have it!  And it works!!  Make sure to shake well before using, it separates a little on the top.  It also makes the whole room smell fantastic when you clean!

St. Patrick's Day Craft

St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, so I decided to do a craft with my little guy and decorate the house.  We decided to do a "St. Patrick's Day Rainbow Wreath".

What you'll need:

Paper Plate
Macaroni (any kind you have)
White Tissue Paper
Glue
Crayons
1 Package of paper Shamrocks from your local dollar store (or just cut them out from green paper)
Food Coloring

**I bought a package of paper Shamrocks at the Dollar Tree.  They came in packs of 12, 6 with glitter, and 6 plain.  This is the only item I purchased for this project, everything else I had in my house.

This is really a 2 day project.  First take the macaroni and put in a plastic bag with a few drops of green food coloring, and shake around to get all of the macaroni covered.  This dries pretty quickly, in a about 15 minutes.  Let it just dry in the bag, with the bag open.

Then take your white tissue paper.  Cut out 6 strips about 10 inches long, and about 10 smaller squares pieces.  Place 1/4 cup of water and 3-4 drops of food coloring in the bowl, and add a few strips and squares of tissues per color.  I used, yellow, blue, green and red.

Place the wet tissue paper on wax paper, and let dry over night.

The next day, take the paper plate and cut the center out to make a wreath.  Then let your little ones draw on it with crayons.

We then glued the shamrocks onto the wreath.  Next we glued the pasta and the square paces of tissue paper.  When that dries, turn the wreath over and glue the long pieces of tissue paper on, to make it look like a rainbow.

And there you have it, a pretty, inexpensive and FUN St. Patrick's Day wreath!  Enjoy!
