Chocolate Banana Pancakes

by

I didnt give the best description with pictures of my pancakes so I’ll tell ya what I did.  Most the time I dont really measure anything I just go with it!  I poured some pancake mix in the measuring cup and then added a little bit of bakers cocoa, my favorite its toll house, then hersheys.  Add water and mix to the consistency that you like.  I poured the pancake batter in to the buttered pan and then placed sliced pieces of banana on top the pancake and then used a spoon with a little more batter and covered up each one with out adding to much extra batter.  Flip’em for a minute then place on plate and eat!! :)~ the boys loved them!  (daddy and leo)

Dinner was yummy Leo ate the carrots all up!

Sometimes its very hard to get Leo to try veggies and so I got slick on him lol!  So I took some fresh carrots and a couple tablespoons of  Truvia 0 calorie, 0 fat, and some cinnamon with all spice and let the carrots cook down.  All the sudden he started saying what smells so good like pumpkin pie.  I liked to died laughing cause it was so far from pumpkin pie, well kinda lol.  He ate all of them, even what was left over after every one had some, which I had no problem there! I made meatloaf, mashed potatoes, took the very little grease from the meatloaf to make a gravy and then the carrots.  Dinner was Delicious!!

by

Ingredients

Swiss Roll Cake Batter

4 eggs
3/4 c sugar
3/4 c flour
extract of your choice, I’ve used vanilla and lemon so far.
food coloring (optional)

beat eggs and sugar, extract if using, (foodcoloring if using), until very thick almost like mousse, it will raise up much higher in the bowl and be thick and airy around 8 to 10 minutes. sift in flour folding mixture until mixed completely with out taking the air out of batter. prepare a swiss cake roll pan i spray it and add paper to it and line it with the paper, then pour batter in to pan and bake on 350 for 12 minutes exactly!

I let it cool and flip upside down on a cooling rack and slowly work off the paper, once cooled I put another piece of paper over it and flip it off the rack and then add filling and roll

Lemon Curd Filling

4 medium eggs
3/4 c sugar
1/3 c V8 fruit medley
1 tbsp lemon extract
4 tbsp butter (chopped in little cubes)

prepare the double boiler by placing a pan of water on the burner to start simmering, in a metal bowl beat the eggs, sugar water, extract whip up good for about a minute by hand, and place bowl over the pan of water and stir constantly about 8 – 10 minutes until the mixture is thick like sour cream. Remove from heat and add the butter stirring constantly until the butter has completely melted and is gone!

I placed that bowl of curd over a bowl of ice and then stirred it every now and then till cool about 10 minutes as well.

Then used it to spread on this swiss roll. It was delish!
