its monday. this means its really "diet" day. yup, its that time of the week where i decide enough is enough and i start a diet. this time i swear im sticking to it. the thing about dieting is its all fun and games until you wake up craving pancakes. speaking of pancakes, this was my favorite easter food this year. it started with banana pancakes at my sister krissys house. they were delicious. i was quickly transported back in time to emilys kitchen... one very early morning after one very long night... i remember being introduced to these famous banana pancakes. i think hers had a secret ingredient which i believe was some sort of alcohol (naturally), whatever it was, it was DIVINE. especially when served with fresh mimosas. yummy. i thought my pancake fix was complete but then i showed up at my dads. he served me this mound of pancakes with whipped cream, fresh strawberries and "cheesecake". i think he called pancake surprise or something. regardless, like i have said before, my dad never fails in the kitchen and he hit it out of the park on this one. plus, since its diet monday, i wanted to share this mildly healthy recipe. it was one pancake on bottom, then a heap of sugar free cheesecake pudding, topped with a pancake, another heap of pudding and finished off with strawberrys and low fat whipped cream. granted my version of "healthy" is different from the average persons but trust me on this one, its freaking BRILLIANT. i thought i only wanted a bite because i am more of a savory person and less of a sweet person. im telling you, you need to make this for the next weekend breakfast you have... kids will LOVE it! i was pleasantly surprised when the sweetness level was totally average and subsequently perfect for me. i have put a lot of thought into this and i think its because you do not need syrup. i love syrup on banana pancakes... but only when the syrup is warm. which btw, if you are eating your pancakes with syrup at room temperature, you are seriously missing out on so much in life. speaking of life, why of why are there bathing suits in target and all over every.single.freaking. catalog i get in the mail?! i mean i thought living in orange county was a good enough reminder but now i have to be reminded to go on a diet like 100x a day. clearly this has not affected me since i have been "going on a diet" for at least a month now but thats not the point. the point is when i am dreaming on pancakes galore and i get an image of me eating them in a bikini, i loose my appetite. i wish i could just get tan in sweats. now that would be awesome.
