I typically eat the same things for breakfast every week. Do you? It’s usually pretty healthy, but certainly nothing fancy. We’re talking oatmeal, yogurt, and Minnie Mouse pancakes because well…my sweet toddler LOVES Minnie! She’s pretty famous around here so weekly Minnie pancakes happen often using the most delicious pancake mix in the HISTORY OF TIME. Not kidding! They’re called Kodiak pancakes and friends, they are so so good! Have you tried these? They are full of protein and all without of the crazy unnatural ingredients that many pancake mixes carry, yes!! But when I’m not eating Minnie’s ears I have discovered a new breakfast love.
