Today is a wonderful day to practice loving others. Jesus said that others would know us by the way we love others (John 13:34-35). I hope that most of the time I do that. Today, I'm going to try extra hard to be loving. I love John Wesley's admonition to us:
It's
also a good day to love on someone with a good meal. Hopefully you
have something special planned for yourself today, maybe it even
includes someone else. Make it a healthy one. Today is also a good
day to think about your heart and the heart of the ones you love.
Whatever you're putting into your mouth is impacting your heart too.
Choose wisely.
While we were snowed in this week, I made a version of these delicious Snickerdoodle Pancakes.
I couldn't actually bring myself to making them just as the recipe
is...too indulgent, too much sugar, not really breakfast material.
Instead, I tweaked the recipe like this - replace the AP flour with 1/2
cup buckwheat flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour; omit sugar (you'll
add syrup and they'll be sweet enough); trim the butter to 3 Tbs;
replace sour cream with plain yogurt and use buttermilk instead of
milk. They were delicious, cinnamony, light, and slightly sour from the
buttermilk, slightly sweet from a drizzle or real maple syrup (not the
fake stuff!). And...no guilt for me. Enjoy! Be healthy!
