Quick, Easy, and Yummy Recipes

For those of you who know me well, you know that these recipes really are easy- meaning they don't take very long and they have very few easy to find ingredients and they are yummy! That's how I roll!! I have tried them on others and they have proved successful.
Recipe #1: Easy Cinammon Vanilla Pancakes
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 5- 10 minutes for multiple batches
Serving size about 12 pancakes

Ingredients:
2 cups of all-purpose baking mix (which I now know means Bisquick!)
1 cup of Fat-Free Cinnamon Vanilla Creme flavor Nestle Coffee Mate Liquid coffee creamer
1/2 cup of 100% pure pumpkin
2 large eggs

If you like maple syrup on top, you can add that.

Directions: Combine baking mix, coffee-mate, pumpkin, and eggs into a large bowl. Stir until blended.

Spray some Pam or grease a griddle or large nonstick skillet. Heat over medium high heat. Pour 1/4 cup pancake batter onto hot griddle for each pancake; cook 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with syrup.

Coming up next: Mango Tango Black Bean Salsa

Enjoy!

P.S. Another fun idea we have implemented lately is root beer and coke floats. We brought this to a party for dessert and everyone was having so much fun with it. They said they haven't had a root beer float in years. I know it brought back some memories for me as a kid. How fun!! Easy too!!

Doesn't sound too difficult, but you had to know I would have questions!!! What is pure pumkin???? Is it some kind of spice? I am guessing that you don't have to actually cut open a pumpkin because that would make the recipe not easy at all!!! Just wondering!!!

It is just canned pumpkin. The one I found just so happened to be organic pumpkin. It doesn't necessarily have to say 100% pure pumpkin on the can. It is located by the other vegetables in the store.
