I found these incredible cookies in the Polish store called Pieguski (Freckles) and ate the entire box almost by myself.  I did have to fight my husband for them but since he is on low carb diet it was not hard.  These were chocolate cookies with chocolate pieces, nuts and coconut.  I had to have more so today I decided to “tweak” and make them into pancakes.  They turned out wonderful more like a brownie then a real pancake.  So go ahead fool your children and have dessert for breakfast.

You will need: 3/4 cups flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 egg, 1/2 cup milk, 2tbs coco powder (I used unsweetened), 2tb sugar, 1 tbs hazelnuts, 1 tbs mini chocolate chips, 2 tbs coconut and 1/4 tsp vanilla (not photographed)

To a medium bowl add milk and egg

mix well

place a swifter (or whatever you are using) over the bowl and swift together flour, baking powder and coco

Mix well add vanilla, chocolate chips, sugar, hazelnuts, coconut

mix until well incorporated

cook on medium high heat with a little butter for about 2-3 min a side

or if you have these super duper molds realize that they will be thicker and will cook for longer

they will also stick like crazy to the mold, since of course you forgot to spray it, grease it or do whatever needs to be done for them to work properly.  Remember you are not American so you can’t do pancakes well no matter what, unless they are made with potatoes.  Crepes (Nalesniki), yes.  Oatmeal, yes.  Pancakes not so much unless you make them more Polish which I have done here before.

They turned out really good.  Almost like Pieguski.  Rich, decadent, not too sweet so you can taste the sweeter morsels when you bite into them.  Yummy.

I have attempted for the first time in my life to make a pizza on the grill.  I have been thinking of it all summer but it was not till I went peach picking and ended up with 50lb of peaches that I figured I needed to use them somehow.  So just like Bubba in [...]

There is a Polish saying that loosely translates as “Breakfast eat alone, Lunch with a friend but leave Diner for your enemy”.  I am a bad translator and have no idea why I am talking about Polish sayings in a Mexican Omelette post. Maybe it is to remind myself that I have not added anything [...]

I have been looking for a good potato salad, not a German Potato Salad that is loaded with Mayo and perfect for winter evenings, or fall nights but a lighter side that can work well with barbecued anything.  This is my take on Bobby Flay’s Grilled Mushroom and Potato Salad with Dijon Mustard Dressing.  Of [...]

There is no need to ever praise the power of the perfect blueberry muffin.  You know when you had it and will dream to have it over and over again.  Perfect lunch to go, coffee companion, snack or dessert.  Love at the first bite and continues until our waist line says no.  This above is [...]

I have really no idea how I happen to make these meatballs for the first time.  I know wanted to venture  away from typical red meatballs and provide toddlers with quick meal.  These make a wonderful finger food and are great in pasta with veggies. You will need: 1lb of ground turkey or chicken, 1/2 tsp chinese [...]

There are a few things that you always, always find in my freezer no matter what season.  Bolognese or Meat sauce is definitely one of them.  My love for this recipe comes from the time when I lived alone in Chicago in a brand new condo that I could hardly afford and had to think [...]

The past few days have been a bit hectic, with family members missing because of work, camps and trips to camp I have found myself with fridge full of food ready to expire.  I am not really good in remembering what I have in there and when it is ready to leave.  On the other [...]
