School Night Supper {Groundhog Day Breakfast for Dinner}

Groundhog Day is just one of many obscure little “holidays” we love to celebrate around here.  Since it seems like the older they get, the less time we have in the morning (because now it’s not just getting dressed and brushing teeth but also reviewing vocab words, studying for tests and practicing presentations), we’ve been moving our favorite meal of the day to supper time more and more often.  I mean who doesn’t love a good breakfast for dinner?  It’s quick, easy and yummy.  Oh, and something my littles can almost cook all on their own!

Now, for this dinner I didn’t go with my newly mastered Perfect Pancakes.  Instead, and with the help of Krusteaz, I turned the whole shebang over to John and Honey!  They sent us a giant box of mixes and fun kitchen items like the pancake pen, whisk and more!!  We added in bacon and scrambled eggs and called it a night.

After two years of working on my pancake skills, I can honestly say I’m no stranger to the boxed pancake mix.  Oddly enough, this is one I didn’t try.  BUT we LOVED it!  It was easy enough for John to do on his own and the pancakes turned out perfectly.

Sadly, we lost the ring that seals our pancake pen a few months ago and had to toss it.  It was something I kept meaning to replace but just never did.  So we are super excited to have a new one in the house!!  We use it to make shaped pancakes, the perfect round pancake and to write out their names and ages in pancake form on birthdays and the first day of school.  Since we’ve used one for years, I have learned that they do work best with a boxed pancake mix, not a homemade recipe that is usually to thick and starts to puff up pretty quickly.

Now, back to groundhog day…  John formed and flipped six different pancakes to make the groundhog face!!!  I added the pile of bacon “logs” and the rest of the face from little things we had on hand (chocolate chips, a raspberry, white chocolate melts, mini marshmallows).  They turned out SO cute!! (You can see previous renditions of Groundhog snacks, breakfasts and lunches HERE.)

For the girl in the house (that’s me!), I used one of Disney pancake tricks to turn Mr. Groundhog into a Miss…  cut a large strawberry in half and place end to end!!

Since we have a rule that whoever cooks the meal gets to decide where we eat, John picked the bar.  It was smiles all around!!  (If we didn’t have this rule these three would always eat at the bar.  And since I almost always cook it’s almost always the kitchen or porch table.  Ha!)

Many thanks to Krusteaz for hooking us up with the fabulous mixes and kitchen tools.  We will enjoy them for a good long while!  Now, we all have our fingers and toes crossed that the South’s resident groundhog, General Beaureguard Lee, can hook us up with an early spring tomorrow morning!!

  1. I love the groundhog pancakes. How cute. The pictures made me want pancakes for dinner tomorrow night. Then I remembered we’re going to a special dinner. Well, I know what’s for dinner Friday night!

  5. Hi Amanda,
    Do you mind me asking what flatware you have for everyday? I’ve been looking so long, and do like the pattern :)
    Thanks,

  11. Lying down and vomiting between courses: This is how Ancient Romans would feast
    [url=https://rutorforum24.top]rutor8[/url]
    Imagine, if you will, the most glorious festive feast, with an oversize turkey, stuffing two ways, holiday ham, the requisite fixings and at least half a dozen pies and cakes. That may all sound grand — that is, until you consider the extravagant displays of the ancient Roman banquet.

    Members of the Roman upper classes regularly indulged in lavish, hours-long feasts that served to broadcast their wealth and status in ways that eclipse our notions of a resplendent meal. “Eating was the supreme act of civilization and celebration of life,” said Alberto Jori, professor of ancient philosophy at the University of Ferrara in Italy.

    Ancient Romans enjoyed sweet and salty concoctions. Lagane, a rustic short pasta usually served with chickpeas, was also used to make a honey cake with fresh ricotta cheese. The Romans used garum, a pungent, salty fermented fish sauce for umami flavor in all dishes, even as a dessert topping. (For context, garum has a similar flavor profile and composition to current-day Asian fish sauces such as Vietnam’s nuoc mam and Thailand’s nam pla.) The prized condiment was made by leaving fish meat, blood and guts to ferment inside containers under the Mediterranean sun.
    Game meat such as venison, wild boar, rabbit and pheasant along with seafood like raw oysters, shellfish and lobster were just some of the pricey foods that made regular appearances at the Roman banquet.

    What’s more, hosts played a game of one-upmanship by serving over-the-top, exotic dishes like parrot tongue stew and stuffed dormouse. “Dormouse was a delicacy that farmers fattened up for months inside pots and then sold at markets,” Jori said. “While huge quantities of parrots were killed to have enough tongues to make fricassee.”

    Giorgio Franchetti, a food historian and scholar of ancient Roman history, recovered lost recipes from these repasts, which he shares in “Dining With the Ancient Romans,” written with “archaeo-cook” Cristina Conte. Together, the duo organize dining experiences at archaeological sites in Italy that give guests a taste of what eating like a Roman noble was all about. These cultural tours also delve into the eyebrow-raising rituals that accompanied these meals.

  12. It’s no secret how President Donald Trump feels about sports teams turning away from Native American mascots. He’s repeatedly called for the return of the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians, claiming their recent rebrands were part of a “woke” agenda designed to erase history.

    But one surprising team has really gotten the president’s attention: the Massapequa Chiefs.

    The Long Island school district has refused to change its logo and name under a mandate from New York state banning schools from using team mascots appropriating Indigenous culture. Schools were given two years to rebrand, but Massapequa is the lone holdout, having missed the June 30 deadline to debut a new logo.
    [url=https://kra39-cc.net]kra40 at[/url]
    The district lost an initial lawsuit it filed against the state but now has the federal government on its side. In May, Trump’s Department of Education intervened on the district’s behalf, claiming the state’s mascot ban is itself discriminatory.

    Massapequa’s Chiefs logo — an American Indian wearing a yellow feathered headdress — is expected to still be prominently displayed when the fall sports season kicks off soon, putting the quiet Long Island hamlet at the center of a political firestorm.

    The district is now a key “battleground,” said Oliver Roberts, a Massapequa alum and the lawyer representing the school board in its fresh lawsuit against New York claiming that the ban is unconstitutional and discriminatory.

    The Trump administration claims New York’s mascot ban violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits recipients of federal funds from engaging in discriminatory behavior based on race, color or national origin — teeing up a potentially precedent-setting fight.

    The intervention on behalf of Massapequa follows a pattern for a White House that has aggressively applied civil rights protections to police “reverse discrimination” and coerced schools and universities into policy concessions by withholding federal funds.

    “Our goal is to assist nationally,” Roberts said. “It’s us putting forward our time and effort to try and assist with this national movement and push back against the woke bureaucrats trying to cancel our country’s history and tradition.”
