First Day of School Breakfast

 

Paul's Buttermilk Pancakes + Peanut Butter Maple Syrup + Rice Crispy Sprinkles = a fully belly ready for Kindergarten (!)

Paul made a slew of pancakes over the weekend that I've stockpiled in anticipation of our big week.  Now I can just pop two in the toaster, while I whisk together some peanut butter and maple syrup to sneak a little protein into a red letter day pancake breakfast.  Wish us luck and nice kids and an interesting teacher and a mom who doesn't cry (at least in front of the kid).  

Peanut Butter Maple Syrup
makes: 1/4 cup
takes: 1 minute

• 2 tablespoon peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Heat in a glass measuring cup for 30 seconds.  Stir to combine.  Pour on pancakes.   

Milk Chocolate Ice Cream

Desmond starts kindergarten a week from today.  He's been asking me about summer, and I've explained that it means a couple things.  There's the summer that's a season when it's hot and we eat peaches.  We still have more than a month to go of that summer.  And then there's kid summer that is the time between school years when we just play and go to the beach.  That one ends in 7 days.  I feel more than a little panicky.
