Every morning we have the same breakfast battle: oatmeal vs pancakes. I have one little boy who loves oatmeal and one who loves pancakes and the fight over what’s for breakfast starts before we even enter the kitchen. You can imagine what a start to the day that is. At least wait until I’ve had…

Veggie Pancakes
