Banana Pancakes

Banana Pancakes

I’m a pancake lover, which I’m sure is obvious by the number of pancake recipes on the site.  No better breakfast.  I’ll also eat a stack any other meal of the day.  I love them!

My little guy loves bananas, so naturally a banana pancake recipe was needed.  I swear this kid is so spoiled when it comes to his breakfasts.  He eats like a champion and also gets sick of things, so I have to keep it fresh switch it up every once in a while.  And since we eat the same thing for breakfast majority of the time, I don’t mind that at all. 

These banana pancakes are one of his favorites, and I have to say I love them as well.  They’re just the right amount of banana-y and sweet.

Raspberry Sorbet Prosecco

Raspberry Sorbet Prosecco

Spring and summertime are usually filled with parties like baby and bridal showers. The big thing to have there is mimosas! Yum!! I know this is not a new concept but I wanted to post this because I like sorbet champagne way more than mimosas. They are cold, sweet and also super appealing to the eye. The possibilities are endless. You can pick a few flavors to put out and either use a prosecco for a sweeter flavor or a dry champagne. Whatever floats your boat!

 

Raspberry Sorbet Prosecco

  • Servings: 4
  • Print

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle of prosecco or dry champagne
  • Raspberry sorbet (or sorbet flavor of choice)

Instructions

  1. Scoop sorbet with a small cookie scoop and place in flute. Pour champagne carefully on top of the scoops. Enjoy!

If you serve this at a party, you can either keep the sorbet in your freezer and serve it to your guests or put it in a cooler. If you put it in a cooler, you need to keep it frozen, this is an easy way to do so. Put a towel in the bottom of your cooler, put crushed up dry ice on the towel (carefully break with eye protection). Then put a bunch of regular ice on top of that. Place the sorbet on top of the regular ice and it will keep it nice and cold. I do this for a really long camping trip if I don’t have our trailer with us and it keeps things frozen really well!
