#16: Heavenly Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Who doesn't love breakfast for lunch (or even dinner!).

For today's lunch, I whipped up some chocolate chip pancakes.  Not the most healthy choice, but absolutely lip-smackering delicious.

You'll need:

1.5 cups all-purpose white flour

3.5 tsp baking powder

Sprinkle of salt

1 tbsp white sugar

1 1/4 cups milk

1 egg

3 tbsp butter, melted

Ok, first - sift all the 'dry' ingredients - the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.  Once that is all mixed thoroughly, add the remaining ingredients and mix until smooth.

For the chocolate chips, I just eye balled as I poured them in.

I used a griddle, at 400 degrees.  Just keeping an eye on them, I flipped when they were browned on the bottom.  

Once all done, pile on a plate and smother with syrup.  Good to go!

Oh - and we got some succulents for the kitchen window sill.  I love these and itching to get some more!   The best part, is that they are incredibly easy to take care of.

Meal 4: Greek Couscous Salad

Today's meal was a bit uninspiring, but ended up being pretty tasty.  We wanted something light for tonight (perhaps it's b/c of all the holiday indulgence), and we decided on this salad.

It originally called for quinoa, but seeing as we didn't have any in the house, and this meal was a last minute decision, couscous was up to the plate!

1/2 english cucumber, quartered
A handful of grape tomatoes, halved
Half a red onion, chopped
1/2 cup of couscous

Sprinkle of feta
Homemade dressing (2 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp red wine vinegar)

It was a nice and light meal, which happened to also be quite filling!

Now, time to go grab some dessert!  ;)
