While I'm thinking about it, and have typed it up for a friend anyhow, here is the recipe for the pancakes I made over the weekend:

Banana-Macadamia Nut Pancakes
Yield: 11 pancakes (it ended up making 12 in my batch)
3 points per pancake

Ingredients:1 and 1/4 cups All Purpose Flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped ripe banana (about 2 small)
1 cup low fat buttermilk
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup chopped macadamia nuts, toasted
cooking spray

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl; stir with a whisk. Combine banana and next 5 ingredients in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk til smooth. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture; stir just until combined. Stir in macadamia nuts.Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto a hot nonstick griddle or skillet coated with cooking spray. Cook 1-2 minutes or til tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Carefully turn pancakes over, and cook 1-2 minutes or til bottoms are lightly browned.


For dinner tonight, I made what we affectionately call "puke dip". Mmmm, sounds so inviting, yes?? Seed and dice a green pepper, dice an onion, throw these in a large skillet with about a pound of ground beef (I try to get about 3/4 pound). Cook til meat is brown and onions and peppers are tender. Cut up a block of velveeta into cubes (you want it to melt easily, so not too thick) and add that to skillet. When it starts to get melty, add a can of Rotel. When it's all melted, it's done. Serve with tortilla chips. We used a mix of baked tostitos and regular. I know, nice and healthy lol I've had a hell of a headache all day, and I didn't feel like cooking, so I was going to grab some hamburger patties at the grocery store, and buns, and just make those and some frozen fries. Then I saw the green peppers at the grocery store and thought "hm, puke dip sure sounds good" lol, so puke dip it was. At least it got Jakob to eat some veggies without complaining :P
