When it comes to cooking and baking, we all have different realities, especially when it comes to dinner. Some of use have too many little "helpers", some of us are just getting off of work, maybe cooking isn't your thing, or maybe it is a combination of all of these. My reality is I have lots of little helpers that really want to be mommy's bigger helper! To me, there is no such thing as a 30 minute meal. Don't get me wrong I love Rachel Ray, but 30 minutes to make a complete from scratch meal, isn't happening. Whenever I post recipes, I will try to put pictures with directions. And I will also post why I didn't follow the recipe exactly, whether it be from little helpers or missing ingredients. I hope you enjoy a few of these recipes and don't give up trying!

Nailed it!! Pinterest Pancakes

I try not to just cold cereal it everyday for my kids. Which they love pancakes, so it usually isn't a problem. Well the other morning I thought I would give our ordinary pancakes a twist, so I did the logical thing and went to Pinterest and found cinnamon roll pancakes with cream cheese icing (really its frosting, it just sound not so horrible if you call it icing with breakfast). The two older kids were all ready for school and working on homework (that doesn't happen often) and they both needed help and the two younger kids were fighting. So, this seemed like the PERFECT time to try a new recipe.

I followed the recipe from http://www.recipegirl.com/2011/03/01/cinnamon-roll-pancakes/

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes #recipe - RecipeGirl.com

NAILED IT!!!! Okay, so this is an epic Pinterest fail. "You try, you fail. You try, you fail. The only time you truly fail is when you quiet trying". So, I tried again on the next pancake.

Success!!!

Made a little bit of cream cheese icing.......

and enjoyed breakfast.

These delicious pancakes didn't stop the younger kids fighting or do homework for the older kids, but at least we had a yummy breakfast! 

A word of wisdom when it comes to Pinterest (or anything else for that matter). "Never compare yourself to others. You will always compare your worst self to their best self".
