Spinach pancakes

I have a toddler who LOVES pancakes! He does not eat veggies. I attempted to use this to my advantage tonight, with some success - I made savory spinach pancakes:

-Make pancake batter from mix (1 cup mix, 1 cup water according to the box I have)
-Put batter and 1 cup of cooked spinach (nuke for 2" in water) in a blender and blend until smooth
-Fry pancakes in EVOO

Meanwhile (optional):
-Cook thinly sliced apples in walnut oil

Pair pancakes with apples, or, if your child starts yelling "MORE RAISINS!!!!!", pair them with raisins. I liked them a LOT, and he liked them some.

Rye bread

I tried out this rye bread recipe - it was a great success!

Mild and moist.  I would recommend using the full 2T of caraway seeds. I substituted ricotta for the sour cream, because I didn't have sour cream - worked great. Made it in the bread machine under the whole wheat setting.

Try it with butter, sliced radishes, and salt!
