Of butterflies, bees, and flowers...

The past several weeks we have had so many butterflies in our flower gardens, its so beautiful!! I finally got a chance the other day to go and take pictures, it was so hard to pick just a few favorites...!

A bee, butterfly, and ladybug - all hanging out together : )

"But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God,

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Romans 8:37-39

Recipe: Honey 'N' Oat Cinnamon Pancakes

Honey 'N' Oat Cinnamon Pancakes

recipe adapted by Jaeleen

Ingredients:

3 cups whole wheat flour

4 tablespoons baking powder

2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon salt

4 cups whole milk

¾ cup honey

4 eggs

1 cup rolled oats

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the flours, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

2. In a measuring cup or bowl, measure out the milk. Add the honey and egg and beat for 1 minute, or until the honey has completely dissolved into the milk.

3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should have some small to medium lumps. Gently fold in the rolled oats.

4. Preheat your skillet over a medium heat and brush with butter. Using a 1/4-cup measure scoop the batter onto the warm skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, and then flip. Cook until golden brown.

5. Put them on a plate, add some syrup, and enjoy them with family or friends :)
