Red Velvet Pancakes - 7 Days Of Red Velvet


I'm listening to James Ingram as I write up this post. I love classic music escape especially the 80's and 90's R&B. The music was timeless, evoking emotions that you never knew you had. His songs remind me of being in love, puppy love. When you thought a certain boy was your world and the very essence of your being was him existing. I chuckle at the memories but I miss such kind of love, filled with innocence, pure bliss and devotion to being each other's only admiration. Love has changed, I think, it has become to some extent selfish, indulgence and "me me me" kind of expectations. Even R&B of nowadays is filled with too much vulgar language, swear words that you wonder are you being serenaded or being insulted? I did not mean to rant, I promise, maybe its all these memories bubbling to the top. Now back to reality, food reality. Today is the first of my 7 Days of Red Velvet series and what better way to start it off than with the most delicious, perfect and romantic breakfast of all time, pancakes! Red velvet pancakes! Wake him/her to the smell of this delicious treat and you will be on your way to having a perfect morning and the perfect rest of the day. Shall we?

Coconut Peanut Butter Pancakes



I love peanut and if I could I would eat it every other day. Whether it's whole roasted peanuts or smooth peanut butter, I just love this stuff! Reminds me of when we were young back in the 80's when peanut butter was a new thing and it was a reserve of the "wadosi" (rich folk), we would really envy those kids who came with bread slices smeared withe the peanut butter while we had plain toasts, seems ridiculous but when you are a kid in kindergarten you always think that the other kids have better lunches or tea break snacks. Then came this advert for the skippy peanut butter, we would always sing along to it and really bug mum about buying 'skippy peanut butter'. Well she gave in and bought us the peanut butter, what? You'd think we had won the lottery! Needless to say, after that it was a regular addition to our breakfast and we thoroughly enjoyed making the other kids jealous and even bribing them with 'if you don't let me in the game, I won't give you my skippy peanut butter bread', nice memories hehehe. To bring back those memories, I though I would make peanut butter pancakes and add more deliciousness by adding coconut. Those two flavours just work wonders on your pallet.

Funfetti Sunday Brunch Pancakes


Happy Sunday Funday Lovelies! We are already halfway the first month of 2019 and it's exciting to  see how fast the days are going! I love Sundays! It is just one of those lazy days that you want breakfast in bed with some soothing music and yummy scents coming from the kitchen. Dreams are valid yo! If you are single like me, then you will just have to give yourself that breakfast in bed and enjoy it all by thyself, which is fun most times, especially when you have made yourself this decadent obsessively good apple cinnamon french toast and you absolutely  DO NOT want to share! Today I just woke up with a craving for some pancakes, I have several pancake recipes that you can find all over the blog, I needed something different. And since I was feeling festive and saw some rainbow sprinkles staring at me in the kitchen, I knew what I had to do. These funfetti pancakes are fluffy, pillowy and exciting to bite into! We all want to get fluffy pancakes so here are a few tips I have learnt in making pancakes. To get fluffy pancakes include baking powder or baking soda in pancake batter since this will create essential bubbles that are crucial in giving you that fluffy feel.  Eggs enable the batter to rise since they provide the pancakes with structure while butter not only adds flavor but give the pancakes moisture and a smooth richness. Do not over mix your pancake batter if you want fluffy pancakes and let you batter rest before using, you can even refrigerate for a few minutes before cooking. The best way to ensure your pancakes are fluffy is not using too much heat, since they will burn yet the middle in raw, if too low the pancakes will end up being tough and rubbery.

Fluffy, Rich & Perfect for Plant-Friendly Breakfasts or Desserts. Indulge in these fluffy, eggless chocolate pancakes, perfect for breakfast or brunch. Easy to make, rich in flavor, and a treat for chocolate lovers. Chocolate for breakfast? Pancakes for dessert? Heck, yes! It’s the weekend, and weekends are for indulging in the simple joys of life, like pancakes. I’m all about that weekend necessity, and as I channel my inner Mowgli singing the "Bear Necessities" song, I can’t help but feel a sense of carefree excitement. It’s like the magic of animation comes alive in those moments, pulling you into a world of pure imagination, where everything feels possible and full of fun. I think that’s what I love so much about weekends: they give you the freedom to embrace those childlike joys, to eat pancakes, and maybe even to sing a little!
