~Back Fence Gossip~ Guilt Free Pancakes

~Back Fence Gossip~ Guilt Free Pancakes- below is the actual picture of the pancakes made at Mesquite Creek Cottage, handmade from scratch! Mmm good

Ingredients

Wheat bran 1tsp

egg whites 1/c cup

spelnda 1/4 cup

cinnamon 1 tsp

non stick spray- butter flavor

6 to 8 inch non stick skillet

whisk all ingredients together and pour into skillet, makes one pancake, due to the nature of the wheat bran, it is my experience that this works best mixing one pancake at a time, this ensures even distribution of the wheat and keeps each serving low carb. 

Toppings

 Walden Farms: Pancake Syrup 

 I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Original

Brummel & Brown Made w/Yogurt butter

~Mesquite Creek Woods Monday Update~ lark sparrow nesting

This year at the Mesquite Creek Cottage the killdeer did not nest on our drive, but the Lark Sparrow did next in our back yard on the graveled path to the swimming pool.

We placed a center block about a foot from her nest to block the 30+ mph winds she was receiving. Fortunately she tolerates me checking on her daily without making a peep. We respect her space and privacy. I am not sure the eggs with hatch, the Lark Sparrow has been nesting for almost two weeks, and we had an entire week of unseasonable cool weather. We are keeping our fingers crossed that they do hatch.
