To Keep or Not to Keep (and Chocolate Chip Pancakes!)

Good, afternoon!  It’s Friday!!  Cue happy dance.

This morning I went on a glorious run before it got too hot.  Or too rainy…

Then I came home for a fabulous Friday breakfast.

Guaranteed Good Mood Chocolate Chip Pancakes

• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or flour of your choice)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• dash of salt
• 1/2 cup + 2 T almond milk (or milk or your choice)
• small handful organic chocolate chips
• 1/2 banana, sliced in half lengthwise (optional)
• organic strawberries (optional)
• maple syrup for drizzling (optional)

**You should know that when I say “optional,” I really mean “I strongly urge you to use these if you have them on hand.  And you should always have chocolate, bananas and maple syrup on hand.”

**Yes, those 2 T of milk really matter.  It’s what stretches your batch from 4 pancakes to 5 pancakes.  And when it comes to pancakes, 5 is always better than 4.

1. In a small bowl, mix flour, soda, cinnamon and salt together.
2. Add milk and mix.
3. Add in your handful of chocolate chips.
4. Grease your griddle pan and heat on medium. 
5. Pour your batter and set your banana slices face down.  Flip once your pancakes fluff up and your banana begins to caramelize.
6. Top with grilled banana slices, strawberries and whatever else you can find in your pantry.
7. Drizzle with maple syrup and devour.

If that’s not a recipe for a good mood, I don’t know what is.

Onto more serious matters.

*******************************

My laptop has been out of commission for quite some time now.

I’d love to get a new one, but that requires quite a bit of $$$.  Plus there’s all the software to buy.  Grooooan.

I’m saving up, but it might take some time, so for now I’ve been relying on Joey’s computer.

Which is scary since it flashes the “blue screen of death” at me then shuts down a couple times a day.

My blogging life is hanging by a thread!

Or I’m just being dramatic.

Anyways, in an effort to save Joey’s computer, we’ve decided to “clean it up,” or I guess “clean it out” would be more appropriate.

This means deleting some files.  Like the increasing number of pictures I have…

That’s 2200+ pictures I’ve been hoarding. 

You don’t even want to know how many I had on my 4-year old laptop.

But what do I do with all those food pictures.  I wouldn’t dream of deleting people pictures, but do I actually need any of the others.  Half are on my blog already, but what about the others?  Those that “didn’t make the cut.” 

Help!

What do you do with all your food blog pictures??

Happy Friday!
