Birthday Pancakes

February 5, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 13 Comments

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!

Big plans for the day?  I’m just going do my normal Sunday routine which is, want to exercise, but don’t, watch Hungry Girl at 10 even though she is annoying & geeky, bake, cook and prep for the week.  Of course snacks for the Super Bowl and I’ll relax during the half time show, this year I heard it’s Madonna.  Should be interesting.  Are you watching the big game?  Any parties?

Saturday we celebrated Jenny’s birthday, even though it really isn’t until Tuesday.  We started off the morning with these.

Then we got pedicures, went to lunch at this wonderful bakery that has the best breads, desserts, soups and salads.  I was a good girl and had a fruit salad with grilled chicken.  They serve it with a side of the most soft raisin cinnamon bread.  It’s so good!  I haven’t tried making cinnamon raisin bread, but I may change that tomorrow!  I always forget how much I love that bread until I have it!


Then I came home and made special cupcakes, recipe will come later this week, and then we went to dinner to a Hibachi Grill.  I over did it, and over did it big time.  But I was good I only ate a couple bites of my fried rice.  They didn’t have brown rice, stinky, but they said it’s always requested so there getting it in, in a couple of weeks.  I also had hibachi vegetable, shrimp and chicken.  I want a Hibachi Grill in my kitchen, how fun would that be?   Oh Husband, you know what on want for Valentine’s day?  A kitchen makeover with a built-in Hibachi Grill.  Ok, I’m dreaming on that one!

I bet your wondering about these pancakes.  These were a fun SWEET birthday pancake. I’m not kidding their sweet, yet pretty low-calorie, shocking I know!  There is no need for syrup with them.  They really do taste like cake.  I made them with Funfetti Cake Mix and my traditional yogurt pancakes.

I only used a 1/4 cup of cake mix and I can’t believe how much they really taste like cake, I’m still shocked.  If you like sweet treats in the morning then these pancakes are for you.  I got 10 pancakes out of the whole batch!  That’s five pancakes each and guess what?  Only 220 calories for FIVE of them.  Unbelievable!  I have a feeling these will be a birthday tradition around here.  I wonder if someone would make them for my birthday?

Birthday Pancakes

Ingredients:

3/4 cup Greek Yogurt or a 6oz container (I used Chobani Yogurt)

1/2 cup Egg whites

1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1/4 cup Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix (your favorite cake mix should work)

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp. sugar

Dash of Salt

Glaze:

2 tbsp. powdered sugar

1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. water or milk

Sprinkles

Cooking Spray

Optional Toppings:  More Sprinkles and Whip Cream

Directions:

Mix Greek Yogurt, Egg Whites & Vanilla Extract into a small bowl

In a separate bowl combine Flour, Cake Mix, Baking Soda, Sugar & Salt

Combine and whisk till evenly mixed

Spray your skillet with cooking spray.  I do this between every batch.

Place 1/4-cup batter onto non-stick skillet, add some sprinkles on top of the batter and cook till bubbles start appearing through the top of the pancake and then flip. NOTE: Cook on medium heat and I flattened out my batter with the spatula to cook more evenly.

About 2 minutes on each side

Make glaze add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and water and mix until a slightly drippy consistency.  NOTE:  You do not need a lot of the glaze.

Evenly pour glaze over top of pancakes, add more sprinkles, whip cream and a candle! Happy Birthday!

Makes 10 pancakes

Serving Size: 2 that’s 5 – 4″ pancakes each

Calories for 5 pancakes total:  220,  fat:  1.9,  Sodium:  508,  Potassium:  157,  Carbs:  35.8,  Fiber:  2.1,  Sugar:  16.7,  Protein:  15.1

I’m so excited to share with you the fun birthday cupcakes, but that will have to wait, I am so proud of them!!  🙂  I’m also really proud of these pancakes.  They are so tasty, light and fluffy with the taste of cake!   Mmmmmm cake!  I am totally making these again!!  I want to make them now and I am so full!!

I swear there isn’t enough days to make all the wonderful goodies I see from you and all the goodies I think of.  I swear if I keep up on blogging I am going to be as big as a house, but you know what?  I’m having fun!  First time in a long time that I know I am eating reasonably healthy and I can splurge once in a while.  I am just having so much fun creating.  I think I finally found something that I like to do and I love sharing it with you!!  I am also tickled pink to say that Saturday was my biggest view day yet, I am so proud and so happy!!  Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, leaving nice comments and being an inspiration.  I wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t for you!  Wow, I am mushy tonight!  🙂  So I just want to say THANK YOU!!!!!

Have a wonderful Sunday, enjoy the Super Bowl and if you’re not into it, make some fun appetizers anyway and relax enjoy your day!!  See you tomorrow!!!

    My birthday is in a few weeks and I fully intend on overdoing it. Big time.

    These pancakes seem like the perfect way to start the day! And I love even more that I could eat them on a normal day and not feel totally guilty about it.

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me. 
🩵
I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

What is your favorite season to decorate for?

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! Now I know what you are thinking, Ha Happy Monday! Now I know what you are thinking, Halloween and Fall decor in July? Have I lost my mind? Nope, I haven’t, but on Saturday @krumpetshomedecor launched their Fall and Halloween! Soooooooo many cute pieces, I’m obsessed!
🎃
It’s hard to imagine Fall in a couple of months when the temps have been in the 100’s, but it will be here soon. Time to start planning!!! 
🎃
How I styled my bar cart is just an idea. Once I pull out my Fall/Halloween bins you will see these pieces in other parts of my home. The black wooden witches books will go in my kitchen to go with my black and white kitchen that I do every Halloween. The witches broom will also go on my shelf in the kitchen as my boys 🐶🐶 have been eyeing it up. I need to keep it away from them.
🎃
The beautiful reversible art work will go in my living room, as I like to do oranges and neutrals for fall. The 3 wooden pumpkins will go on my console table. I have it all planned out in my head. I’m kind of excited, but I will enjoy summer a little while longer.

Happy Tuesday! Here is a view of my garden taken a Happy Tuesday! Here is a view of my garden taken a few weeks ago. It’s so crazy how much it has grown now, compared to this picture. 
🌻
I had a lot of Zinnias self seed which makes me so happy because the ones I bought this year are yellow, which is not what I wanted, but the ones that self seeded are pink and orange. Woohoo! I’ll have to share what the garden looks today later. 
🌻
The Alyssum (white flowers on ground) all self seeded. It was looking bad earlier this spring so I pulled it all out. To my surprise it popped up all over my garden. The only problem is, it covered my stepping stones. So I can’t get in the garden without stepping on them.
🌻
If you swipe the photo you will see my last picture I took of my Hollyhock. It was so fun to see how big it would get. Unfortunately the flowers faded and it got rust. So I cut it down to the ground. I’ll pull it up this weekend.  I just hope it doesn’t self seed. It is too big for my garden and it’s pretty messy when the flowers and leaves drop.
🌻
We are supposed to be in the 100’s this week, so hoping everything survives. My potted plants do not look good. I will have make new pots. I don’t mind that. lol
🌻
Have a great day!!
