Adorable Mini Pancake Stacks

In honor of National Pancake Day, we have created these adorable mini pancake stacks using some of our favorite products.  These are easily created using our pancake & waffle mixes.  Simply prepare the pancake mix according to the directions and spoon 3/4 tsp of batter onto the griddle, resulting in mini pancakes about the size of a quarter.  Stack them four high, top with a topping of your choice, add a little garnish, insert a toothpick through the middle and serve!

Buttermilk Pancake Mini Stacks

These adorable brunch-style stacks use our new Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix, Lemon Curd, fresh berries, a mint leaf and a quick dusting of powdered sugar.  These would be great served at a wedding or baby shower or any weekend brunch.

Double Chocolate Raspberry Mini Stacks

Pancakes for dessert?  You bet! We used our Double Chocolate Pancake & Waffle Mix topped with a dollop of our Chocolate Raspberry Jam, fresh raspberries and a little powdered sugar for an easy bite-sized dessert.


Here are some other great combinations to try;

• Maple Pancakes topped with a small piece of bacon and a drizzle of Maine Maple Syrup
• Blueberry Pancakes topped with fresh blueberries and a little Wild Maine Blueberry Syrup
• Strawberry Pancakes topped with Chocolate Strawberry Jam and fresh strawberries
• Gluten Free Pancakes topped with your favorite flavored jam and/or syrup

What would your favorite combination be?

Warm up with a pot of homemade Chili this winter

It finally feels like winter here in Maine with temperatures dipping into the negatives last night!  Nothing warms you up more than a hearty bowl of soup, stew or chili during these cold nights.  Between cautiously driving home in the snow, shoveling your front steps and walkways and starting up your wood stove, there isn't much time at the end of the day to create a nice warm meal to enjoy.  Our new Meal Starters make it a little easier to get dinner going.  One of our favorites is our new Chili Starter which is filled with tomatoes, green chilies, peppers and just the right spice.  All you need is ground meat, beans or both!
