Oatmeal Wheat Pancakes

I got this recipe from my sister several months ago and these have quickly become my favorite pancakes. They taste delicious and are substantial with both oatmeal and whole wheat.

Ingredients
1 egg
1/3 C flour
1/3 C wheat flour
1/3 C oatmeal
3/4 C buttermilk (I use regular milk with 3/4 Tbs vinegar or lemon juice)
2 Tbs vegetable oil
1 Tbs sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Directions
Beat egg until fluffy. Add remaining ingredients. Cook over medium low heat. Makes about 8 pancakes.

Pasta Salad


I was in the mood for a cold salad. Unfortunately, we did not have any lettuce/spinach in the house at the time. However, I threw this together and was quite satisfied. I didn't really measure the ingredients but you can easily throw things in until it "looks right".
Ingredients:
Bow-tie pasta
Frozen Mixed Vegetables
Ranch Dressing
Garlic Powder
Bacon crumbles

Directions:
Cook the pasta to al-dente. Drain and cool. Mix in frozen vegetables, enough ranch dressing to moisten noodles, 1 tsp garlic powder, and bacon crumbles. Stir gently and refrigerate. Serve cold. Add more ranch as needed.
