In my world I would ACTUALLY have time to read blogs and still tuned to your daily eats because you never fail to put a smile on my face. Loved this post, you’d make those leprechauns proud with your recipe, humour and creativity. I was thinking you were pretty ambitious sprinkling icing sugar throughout the shoot. I can only imagine how frustrated I would get and envision myself wiping pancakes clean if the first “shower” didn’t go as planned! That’s talent which makes me find it hard to believe you can’t flip a normal sized pancake!
Your world sounds lovely!!
Lately in my world 3 hours of sleep is the norm and because of that I can’t think what else is the norm in my world.
Can you believe that I have never made pancakes with spinach? Isn’t that insane? I have to try these though, they look devine!!
Hi Davida! Hmmmm, I have not tried spinach in pancakes though I do like it my smoothies. I’m grain free for the time being but I do make coconut flour pancakes. I think I’d be more inclined to make a savory spinach pancake.
In my world you must wear pants or prepare to be slobbered on by the dog! He likes to paw at you too, and those claws hurt! And he likes to nudge you with his toys, he wants treats for bringing them to you and he wants you to pick up the slobbery things and throw them for him, yuck! Most of the time I just toss him a treat and then he goes and plays with his toy 🙂
You have blown my mind this whole week, Davida! Your skill with incorporating green in natural and healthy ways is impressive! I LOVE these photos. And seriously, cutest pancakes ever!
In my world, I leer at pancakes I see online like a sleazy old man eyeing up a pretty girl. Will be pinning to my pinterest pancake-porn board!
“In my world, pancakes are made pantsless while dancing to “Drunk in Love”.” <— another reason why I love you.
I have been wanting to add spinach to my pancakes for a while, but have yet to do so. I'll definitely go for it next time!
In my world, I wear a sweater with Wondercat on it.
In my world, one of the hardest decisions of my day is choosing which kind of salsa I want to buy.
In my world, my forearm is sore from badminton.
One of my first posts was a green pancake recipe with spinach in them. I love that I can sneak greens into breakfast food without tasting them!
Oh my goodness these are GENIUS! I love that spinach is the secret “green” ingredient!
Dancing naked to Beyonce is the reason we’re best friends in my head! Aren’t you so glad you moved out of your parents house? Can’t exactly shake yo’ thang with pops around, hahaha.
