In my world, there is nothing abnormal about offering coconut palm sugar to my guests for their coffee.
In my world, oatmeal is consumed faster than a growing toddler.
In my world, pancakes are made miniature and called “silver dollar” because my Mom is no longer around to flip the normal sized ones.
In my world, a sale on hemp seeds means a happy day!
In my world, pancakes are made pantsless while dancing to “Drunk in Love”.
In my world, grocery buggies have names (have you met Petunia?)
In my world, half a pound of icing sugar is trailed across the floor thanks to an ambitious photo shoot…
In my world, half a dozen bananas can be found in a paper bag in the oven in an attempt to make them ripen faster.
In my world, adding spinach to your pancakes is totally totally normal.

These are so cute and I bet they can easily be made vegan. I just loveeee pancakes!
I have never thought to add spinach to my pancakes but it sounds delicious! It will catch on like the whole spinach in smoothies/juices did!
In my world it is totally normal to have more nicer workout clothes than work clothes. Ha.
I am quite literally the WORST pancake flipper in the universe. Seriously, they always splatter. Good thing its all about taste right? 😉 And I love adding spinach to my pancakes! Or waffles! Such a sneaky way to get a veggie in…especially with my siblings!
Thanks to Arman, I actually HAVE added spinach to pancakes!
These are beautiful, and I love your action shot of the powdered sugar falling onto the pancakes. Perfect!
You crack me up. Also, can you make me breakfast someday? I promise to return the favor somehow… although my cooking might horrify you. Also great new, I have a plan for tomorrow! However my plan is not at all healthy, like not even a little.
You mean most people wear pants when they bake? That is a world that I do not want to be in…
And I love spinach for it’s sneaky factor. Literally, you can sneak that shit into anything.
these are so freaking cute and great for holidays!
Yes, I have made savory spinach pancakes – totally digging your sweeter spinach pancakes though! Great idea to blend the spinach with the almond milk! Popeye would be so proud and speechless!
Cooking/baking without pants is probably one of my most favorite activities. Pants are so sissies. I love sneaking spinach into things, what a brilliant idea!
Those are awesome!!! Looks like you are a total pro with your pictures! Perfect for St. Patricks day too. I have never added spinach, but am seeing it more and more now….so tempted to give it a try. Cereal is pretty typical in my world, as much as I try to get away from it, I LOVE it!
