You’ve officially covered every green food item/food group and I’m the least creative cook ever and now have no idea what to make. HALP! I was totally going to concoct some sort of creative (by my standards) brussels sprout recipe. Edamame crossed my mind as well. 😉
Spinach in pancakes is totally normal in my world too haha. I love the raining powdered sugar!
These sound good! I love adding spinach to baked goods and pancakes. These would be perfect for a fun and healthy breakfast to get in fruit and veggies.

IT’S RAINING POWDERED SUGA!!! Have I died and gone to heaven?! Spinach in pancakes is totes normal. Making these immediately.
I love pancakes but have never added spinach to them. I’d try happily try them if you make them for me. 😉 My husband is the pancake maker and he makes big ones so that it doesn’t take him all morning to make a batch. The silver dollar sized one are so cute. I love the presentation and all that powdered sugar. Yum. 🙂
In my world, pancakes are made pantless too. Although it’s usually ABBA music here lol.
I use to make small ones too because they’re so darn difficult to flip otherwise ahhHHH like no thank you, I’ll take the mini version yes.
These look so delish and the color is so cute too : )
Oh my gosh these are adorable! No I’ve not added spinach to anything like pancakes…might have to give this a try!
