Oatmeal Pancakes with Strawberry Peach Sauce

I am always looking for fun different ways to incorporate more fruits and veggies in to my day to day lifestyle. I have recently become infatuated with Oatmeal Pancakes, so what a better way than finding ways to jazz them up some! For today's version, I used the French Toast Oatmeal Pancake recipe.

Textur-iffic!

1 small peach, pit and skin removed, diced
2-3 strawberries (depending on the size) destemmed and hulled if the centers are white, rinsed and diced
1 teaspoon of water (more may be needed)
1-2 packets of splenda depending on how sweet you want it
a few drips of vanilla


Prepare your pancake. While it is cooking, combine above ingredients in your blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and well combined.

Alternatively, you could just dice the fruit and combine with other ingredients and have a "fruit salsa" of sorts as your topping.

Pour over your cooked pancake and enjoy!
4 Points+ and ever so yummy!

Guest Post: How Does Your Garden Grow?

Hi There!!

My name is Annette (Hi, Annette), and I am delighted to provide a guest post for Angie this weekend. I'm the author of Weighty Matters, and a lifelong foodie... okay, not a "foodie" per se, except in the sense that, well, I like food and I like to eat.

But to be honest, I never cared much about where it came from other than my cabinet, or the grocery store shelf.... until recently, that is. I want the best possible food to go into my body to fuel it, and I love a good bargain too. Sometimes I luck out with both, and other times.... well, in most cases, the wallet trumps all.

And there's nothing I love more than good quality fresh fruits and vegetables. I don't think we appreciate just how lucky we are here to have so many ways to get them: not only from local farms and farmers' markets, but so many backyards! For many years now, we've gardened a piece of a community plot. Heck, the last couple of years, it's just been Daddy farming it. Sadly, for the last few years, it's been hit-or-miss. We had a bumper crop of crookneck squash one year, and the next..... nearly nothing.

So after last year, he made the decision to let it lie fallow this year. And he has so far, with plans to fertilize in the fall, turn it under, let the winter do its thing, fertilize again in early spring and turn again and hopefully by late spring, it will be ready to do its magic. But I have been jonesing for some fresh veggies... what to do, what to do? Plant my own, in containers.

Darn that store, where they had the little tomato-growing-kit. They started the whole thing rolling - you can see them in the first picture, in the rectangular box. That was May 13. And the next picture is from May 25......











I have a whole slew of them -- please feel free to browse around at the pictures here:

May 11 Album and May 25 album (oh, the dog? he grows, but trust me, we aren't giving him any extra fertilizer!!)

And in the meantime, you're always welcome to visit Weighty Matters, where I tend to pontificate at great length.... :) but always with a wry, dry, sly sense of humor! And thanks to Angie again for this opportunity!
