\"\" Have you heard the saying, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”<\/strong><\/em>?<\/p>\n

Of course.<\/p>\n

Have you heard the saying, “When life gives you buckwheat, make pancakes<\/strong><\/em>“?…<\/p>\n

Of course…\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 not.<\/p>\n

Buckwheat pancakes taste like grainy cardboard. Syrup helps. But, I haven’t put syrup on Clara’s pancakes before. If I did, she’d probably just dip her finger in the syrup and suck on her finger. Then she’d have a squish fest with the pancake, shaking out milk from her cup on top to make a soggy mess that would end up on the floor and not her tummy.<\/p>\n

Not <\/strong><\/em>gonna happen!<\/p>\n

I’ll put it off as long as possible anyway, for the same reason I haven’t given her apple juice. Why would she ever want to drink water if her cup could be filled with something sweet? I’ve always been anti-juice, even before having a kid. There is no good reason to drink the stuff and there are many good reasons not<\/em> too. That’s another post though.<\/p>\n

Food Coma<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So when she tried a buttered buckwheat pancake with no syrup, she slowly pushed it back out with her tongue as if to say “bleck!”. I don’t blame her. I enjoy eating almost anything and have an open mind when trying new foods. But, grainy cardboard? Really? Nah.<\/p>\n

Committed to my non-syrup pancakes, I got creative to make a nutritious topping for them. I grabbed some organic applesauce, plain yogurt, and cinnamon. She loved it, buckwheat and all. This picture should speak for itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
