I was in bed at 9:30pm last night! I put both kids down and then laid down for a bit, thinking I would just close my eyes for a second and then go wash the dishes, but it did not happen quite like that. Which I completely regretted in the morning once I saw the huge pile of dishes in the sink!
We had an amazing southern meal for dinner: fried okra with lemon mayonnaise, frog more stew (spicy cajun sausage, shrimp, potatoes, corn, and old bay), and chess pies with blueberries. We cooked the meal ourselves , which always leads to me ask my hubby why we even bother eating out. There aren't many places to eat out in Bluffton, SC.
It was after this wonderful dinner that we ended asleep before 10pm. Sometimes I have no idea how tired I am until my head hits the pillow. Having two kids is definitely more energy and time consuming than having one. Still, I try to enjoy the little things, like making blueberry pancakes on Saturday morning, and sitting around the kitchen table in our pjs watching those little hands and faces get sticky with maple syrup. It's moments like those that I know we are making wonderful memories for our children that inevitably will be associated with the aroma and flavor of fluffy blueberry pancakes. What are some of your favorite food memories?
The Recipe: Vegan Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes
This recipe has been adapted from Post Punk Kitchen's Fluffy Pillow Pancakes. The pancakes are super easy to make and you can adapt them in a million different ways. I use this same recipe to make carrot cake pancakes or chocolate chip ones. Be sure to keep the kids away from the batter. You don't have to worry about the batter having eggs, but if you're not careful they will eat it by the spoonful. Enjoy!

Notes
These look great! Will have to give them a go. :-)
I love pancakes and these look delicious! We always sat down together at dinner. It was great to hear the kids talk about their day. I think it kept us close when everyone was so busy!
