This weekend I decided to surprise the kids and let them make Smile Pancakes. What are Smile Pancakes you ask? My kids seem to think they are magical, and simply the best tasting pancake in the world. What is the secret recipe? Get a paper and pen, you will want to write this all down (or just pin to pinterest…lol). Ok are you ready….?
#1Your standard pancake mix from a box.. #2 10 chocolate chips.
Did you get all that… I know it was kind of tricky 
Simply pour a pancake like normal, and then let the kids use chocolate chips to make a smiley face. When you flip it over it will kind of looks a little freaky… but my kids LOVE THEM! I think the secret ingredient that makes them taste so good, is the time spent cooking as a family!

Divided the cake mix batter in 2 round pans, and make 2 cakes. You could also stack them with icing between to make one double layer cake.
Using store bought icing make red and pink icing and a little bit of black icing. After icing the cakes, pipe the black on to outline the head, wings and mouth. Use the old ziploc-bag-with-the-corner-cut trick for the piping. Use whoppers for the eyes and Oreos for the dots.

Since we got a lot of fruit in our Bountiful Basket last week I made a fruit salad as a side for dinner. I have made this for years, I do not even remember where I learned to make it… or what it is called. When I take it to a family picnic the kids just say “Can I have some of The Pink Stuff”… I plop some on their plate and I have never given it much thought as to what it’s official name is (lol).
So if you are just itching to make a recipe that is so grand… it does not even have a formal name. Then you are totally in luck… cause I have one for you! Get your pens ready cause this one is tricky….
- 6 cups diced fruit ( I used, Green apples, Gala Apples, Red Pears, Banana and Mandarin Oranges drained)
- 3 oz package of Raspberry Jello Gelatin Dessert
- 8 oz Cool Whip
Pour the dry jello over the fruit, mix…. Add the cool whip, mix …. then have a big tasty bowl of “The Pink Stuff”
Easy as can be
