Hey kids! Welcome to Fool Your Family Friday! PINK PANCAKES

"Take a store-bought pancake mix, fortify it with grated apple, a little beet puree and some ricotta cheese - it's a full-protein meal"

Here's what you need

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

1/4 cup beet puree

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup pancake mix

nonstick cooking spray

1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil

maple syrup and fruit for serving

   It's day four in Hawaii for me and I hope these posts are going up as scheduled!
   Thanks for coming by. Be sure to check back tomorrow because I'll have Lauren's new sketch. She was nice enough to forward them to me early so I could still play along. Thanks Lauren!
