How to Make Pancakes Healthier





Mmm, I love Pancakes- one of my fave breakfast foods!

However, as they are made from white flour and sugar,
they are not necessarily the healthiest for us.

Here are 6 ways to make those Flap Jacks healthier for everyone in the family:

1. Try adding mashed sweet potatoes to your pancake batter
2. You can also try adding oats to the batter
(you have oatmeal in the mornings anyways right?)
3. Fruit is another great thing to add in the pancake batter,
and you know it will taste delicious
4. Instead of using an egg, you can try using a mashed banana.
5. Instead of using a cup of oil to make the pancakes fluffy,
you can use half a cup of applesauce instead.
6. And finally, try putting yogurt on top of that pancake for added sweetness,
rather than dousing it in maple syrup. Yogurt is sweet and a good
source of protein!

Have fun flippin' those healthy pancakes!

Who has the Most Giving Heart? Find Out who!

Here's an interesting eye-opening social experiment.
Check it out!
 
 

This video is a good reminder of the bible verse:

"When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required." Luke 12:48

Some people could watch this video and think to themselves... well, if the guys at the Pizza shop were given a Free Pizza, would they have been just as generous as the other person?

Was the person who shared their pizza only generous because he had been given a Free one? Would he still have been as generous if he had bought a couple of slices with his own money?

Regardless of where the pizza came from- one major difference is  that the people in the Pizza shop likely had jobs, and could obviously afford a pizza. And the one who could not afford, still shared.
That's the biggest difference.

Hope this video serves as an inspiration to all of us to be generous with the blessings, money, resources that God has blessed us with.  And when we have, we can give.

The easiest way to do so, if we are feeling too selfish even if we have (which is a natural human tendency), is to offer whatever we're giving to others, as an Act of Worship to a Great God who provides for us always. And when we do this with the mentality that we are going to use our resources so that God's love will be known, giving becomes easier. Try it! :)

Proof God Exists

Very good analogy/video that proves the existence of God's love.

 (although not so sure if Albert Einstein really said this, the message is very good!)
