NO WONDER

Two nights ago Caleb made pancakes for dinner. YUM. He makes good pancakes. But for some reason these were not very good but I didn't really say anything. The kids said they weren't very good but we all ate them anyway. AS he was making them he mentioned how he thought they needed more flour because the batter was too runny. So he added more. They were flat and blah.

Well today I pulled out my mixer to make some pumpkin bread. I asked Mayah if she wanted to help and she excitedly ran over to me wanting to help. But then the truth came out. She was laughing and said that she had put water in Caleb's pancake batter. No wonder it was runny and he had to add extra flour to make it the right consistency. I asked her why she did that and she said that it was the secret ingredient. We have a secret ingredient that we add to our chocolate chip cookies and we make a big deal about it with the kids. I don't think water is a good secret ingredient. And by the way....it isn't the one we add to our cookies. :) I made sure to tell Mayah that there were no secret ingredients allowed in the pumpkin bread. No secret ingredients are even needed in this recipe. OH YUM.
