day 21: paczki day
Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, Paczki Day. It’s a big day today. BIG. FAT. DAY.
I didn’t actually buy paczkis this year so I won’t be having any tonight, but Matt and I are going to be making pancakes and sausage with maple syrup. … so excited for dinner tonight! :d
I’m planning on making pancakes from scratch (normally I use Aunt Jemima — not gonna lie). Does anyone have any good pancake recipes they care to share? I’ll pick one and post pictures of it later today.
Yesterday was Family Day so besides pumping some iron so I spent most of the day doing nothing around the house. It was a perfect day for bread baking! I made Anadama Bread from the Bread Baker’s Apprentice book. I’ve never heard of it before, let alone tasted it. Apparently it’s a traditional New England bread. It’s a sandwich bread that’s enriched with cornmeal, molasses, and a bit of butter and it is sooo good! I was really happy with how this turned out. I’ll have to file the recipe under A for “Awesome”.
Lunch today is two slices of this baby with avocado slices and some tuna mixed with salsa. Yum Yum!

Your bread looks so yummy! I always use some sort of vegan pancake recipe, which I don’t know off hand. Hope you enjoyed your pancakes.
I totally didn’t even realize today was Mardi Gras…thanks for the reminder, I’ll get some chocolate eating in before Lent starts tomorrow
I don’t know of any recipes from scratch, but Hodgson Mills has a great WW mix that I use with mashed banana, applesauce and almond milk. It’s delicious!
I don’t have any pancake recipes myself, but I’m sure either one of these would be awesome.
