Buttermilk Pancakes and Veggie Scramble

i was quite taken with the pattern from the pan.....very galactic :)

how super fun to be an adult (tho i use the term soooooo loosely!) and be able to make breakfast for dinner!  i always wanted to do that when i was a kid (i won’t go into that tragic story ;) and now i CAN!

so we’ve actually been having a moth problem in the kitchen for a while....i’ve been unpleasantly surprised on a few occasions when opening containers or reaching my hand into a bag.  SO i’ve been trying to use up open grains and things just in case, and pancake mix was one of them.  i wasn’t sure will would be into it but i should know by now that he appreciates food (especially food made with LOVE :) and i can pretty much do what makes me happy (in the kitchen and out! :)

so i made up some buttermilk pancakes, and also some eggs scrambled with veggies.

i always start onions (with a little butter) cooking in the big frying pan and when they start softening up i start adding “the other stuff” (whatever that happens to be :)

i had half of a red pepper, so i chopped it small (it spreads out more that way ;) and when that softened up a bit too i added three eggs (i just stir them once they get in there....saves a dish) and then some garlic.  garlic really doesn’t need much cooking, though it can handle it if it gets it, as long as it’s not straight on the pan.

i added the spinach before the eggs solidified so that it would coat them and cook with them a bit.  it’s important to stir spinach frequently, as the parts touching the pan will cook really fast and the parts not touching won’t cook at all.  always best to make the dark green stuff look as appetizing as possible!  :)

SO!  buttermilk pancakes and veggie scramble 

it really was a fun dinner!  and i even had an extra pancake to take to work the next day for a random part of lunch :)

approximate price: $4
