I realized this morning that I haven't posted one of these for a couple of weeks. Oops!
We've been going through some adjustments in how we plan and prepare our meals; working around my new office hours. I'm thinking more about preparing ahead on weekends, and about menus that my husband can help with. This seems to mean cooking a roast or some other dish that will provide several days worth of meals from the leftovers, and factoring in one or two additional meals that require minimal preparation.

Tomato salad and cheese toasts are mouthwatering!
We sure enjoyed them! :)
I have been thinking about pancakes lately-funny, I should see this post. I have no rhubarb but have some other wholesome ingredients.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for stopping by to check out the post Velva. :) The pancake recipe can be made with applesauce or any thick fruit puree, or it can be made with pumpkin or squash puree or even mashed carrots. If using pumpkin, squash, or carrots, omit the baking soda and add increase the quantity of baking powder to compensate. Enjoy.
