Staycation!

After a busy few months it finally came! I just had an entire week to spend with my family. We checked out all the cool stuff Columbus has to offer! I am still finding new things this city is awesome! We hit up the metro parks where my daughter and husband got to play in a tree house.
 

Went downtown to play at a new park where we rode a carousel, ate at a food truck, and sat at tiny tables!

 

Yesterday we went to the zoo and my girl loved the monkeys!!

 
It has been quite a week with lots of eating out! But on vacation I do love to make great breakfast. I guess I will let you on my simple pancake recipe from my mom (nope not Bisquick, we make it from scratch)



Mom's banana pancakes:

Mix together:
1cup white whole wheat flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Then add:

1/2 cup yogurt ( plain or vanilla)
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 ripe mashed banana

Heat a skillet on med heat. Ladle in pancake batter. Let cook until bubbles stop forming, flip and cook for about 3 minutes! Enjoy with real maple syrup (my dad used to tap our trees, I'm a syrup snob!) and fruit, and lots of coffee!

Catch ya later!
