Good morning!
How was your weekend? We celebrated Easter w a little homemade Sunday brunch.
We have had a lot of one-pot meals so this “fancy” smorgasbord brought a lot of smiles. We even dressed up (and matched!) in our Easter dresses.
To celebrate, I wanted to share w you a favorite pancake recipe I inherited from my sister-in-law in Wisconsin.
I love that the cousins get to stay connected over their love of pancakes and the mamas that love them!
It’s simple, one mixing bowl joy. We subbed the vegetable oil for coconut oil today and it ended up runnier but also a lot yummier! It’s sweet so you can even get away without any maple syrup.
You can half the recipe for a smaller batch but my favorite #kacaumamahack is to do all the work and dirty the kitchen once so I make a large batch then freeze the leftovers for easy breakfast and snack options!
The other hacks are that I cook the bacon and sausages at the same time in the oven (bacon on a rack, sausages at the bottom 400f for 20-25mins) no need for oil splatters and clean up or watching it so it doesn’t burn and the tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms all go in the same pan too. Cut up some fruit and throw it on a cutting board and TADAH!!! 🎉🎉
My husband also created a pancake avo taco this weekend and is very proud of himself. 😂❤️
ENJOY!!
Ps. I have a whole collection of MCO recipes and hacks saved as a highlight on my IG (@rachealkwacz). The current ones trending are sticky Coca-Cola chicken wings, easy tau yu bak, and slow-cooked crispy rosemary potatoes!

ShuangLi’s Yummy Homemade Pancakes
2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups milk
1. Whisk all the dry ingredients together before adding in all the wet ingredients and mixing it together.
2. Over medium to low heat, melt a little butter and swish it around the pan.
3. Pour pancake mix into the pan. I usually use a 1/8 cup for silver-dollar sized pancakes. You can also pour into an empty ketchup bottle to make intricate designs or just slap some on there with a ladle if you don't really care. 🙂
4. Pancake is ready to be flipped when lots of bubbles form on the surface.
5. Let the other side brown and of course, taste test as you cook. 😉
Ps. It’s a little bit messier but sometimes I even add in dark choc chips 😍😍 or blueberries!
