Now, this may be a bit dramatic for many of you, but I truly enjoy this breakfast/brunch/occasional dinner food. I enjoy their ease in making, wide appeal, cost effectiveness, multiple variations, kid friendliness, and ability to eat them healthy or completely decadent.
Now, I could share many different recipes of pancakes from scratch - but honestly, those are ones that I'll save for holidays. But for everyday, quick breakfast this is what I do. I take my standard pancake mix that I've purchased from the store - and add it it. You can make breakfast, most less than $3, all under $5. Here are a few of my favorite combos...VARIATIONS

Mix it up this week. Add 1/2 cup of something new to your pancakes this week. You may have to add a bit more water to the mix if it makes it too thick. Be sure to use a hot skillet or griddle that is well greased (butter or oil spray). Serve warm.
Break out the cookie cutters and make something fun out them as well. A train pancake whenever, snowflakes for the first snow fall, letters of their name, etc.
Who says you can't play with your food?
