Bisquick Pancake Breakfast Review and LIVE Giveaway.

Photobucket

Nothing says breakfast like a hot stack of pancakes. Our favorite brand of pancake mix is Bisquick. That was the brand my mom used when I was growing up and the brand my grandma used, so naturally now as an adult I use Bisquick to make my son pancakes. We like them plain, but we have also have been known to throw in some chocolate chips or berries in the batter. Pancakes are little clouds of goodness. Noah loves all kinds of breakfast foods. He lovingly calls pancakes, cancakes.

Bisquick Pancake Nation is a national effort to inspire pancake lovers to unite through pancake breakfasts. Join the Bisquick Pancake Nation to find everything you need to know about planning and hosting a pancake breakfast fundraiser. From now through May 31st, you can apply for a $250.00 grant* for your qualified non-profit organization so that you can host your own pancake breakfast fundraiser in your local community.

We really enjoyed our pancake breakfast and using our new cast iron griddle pan, Cast Iron skillets make me think of my grandma because she always cooked with one. It has now been passed on to my aunt Peggy. When we go and visit them in California my aunt Peggy will sometimes use her cast iron skillet along with her dishes and we will remember my grandma Rose. The great thing about cast iron is it lasts for forever.

We enjoyed the hot delicious pancakes too. Who doesn’t love pancakes? It is in my opinion the traditional American breakfast. They are so easy to make with Bisquick. Not sure when they are ready to be flipped? Just look for the bubbles and when they pop you are good to flip them. I really like the mixing bowl with the spout too. I am notorious for spilling things in the kitchen. Every time I am spooning something out I always get some on the counter. I didn’t with the mixing bowl.

Paas Easter Egg Kits Review

One of my favorite Easter traditions is dyeing Easter Eggs. This is the first year we did it. I thought that Noah was too young before to really understand before this year. I wanted him to enjoy it as much as I do. There are a million different egg dyeing kits out there. There are so many different brands and kit features, it can be a bit overwhelming to choose the right kit for your family. I have the opportunity to tell you about three new egg dyeing kits from Paas.

The first kit I want to tell you about is the Coloring Creations. The kit comes with crayons and stickers that you can color. It reminded me of a coloring book that you can stick on your dyed eggs. It also comes with a coloring page with two eggs on it that your child can color. It is a great activity when you are waiting for the eggs to cool or dry after you dye them. Noah loves to color and he had a lot of fun coloring the stickers and the egg coloring page. It would be perfect for the little artist in your family.

The next kit I want to tell you about is the Neon. It is a 3 in 1 kit that helps you make some really hip and fun Easter eggs. It comes with the traditional crayon that you can use to write on the eggs before you dye them. It has been a while since I have dyed Easter Eggs so I had to be reminded that you write on them before you dye them. This kit also comes with some really cool stickers that are neon. Noah’s favorites were no doubt the car and the truck. Another cool item in the Neon kit is glitter glue. You can really add some bling to your eggs. The dye that comes with it is neon colors to give your Easter Eggs a whole new look!

The last kit I want to tell you about is the Mini Monsters. You can turn your Easter eggs in to monsters. I think this one was our favorite kit. Noah loves monsters and pretending he is a monster. It comes with monster eyes and mouths in all shapes and sizes. There are some angry monsters, happy monsters and silly monsters too. They also come with pipe cleaners too to make the tails. This is such a fun kit. The best part of the kit I am saving for last, it comes with two bags of monster HAIR! We loved the monster hair. We took it out of the bag and played with it a little bit. It is so cool. Most monsters are not bald and the people at Paas knew that so they added some.

When we started Noah was already excited because he had been looking at the boxes and wanted to open the boxes as soon as I received them. I wasn’t too sure how involved Noah would want to be in the process. I measured out the vinegar and he added all of the dye tablets to each of the bowls. He really enjoyed watching the colors appear in front of his eyes. He did most of the dyeing of the eggs. I showed him how to use the egg dipper to move the eggs around to help with the dye. He did a great job. He even put the eggs in the dye. We put down newspaper because I know just how messy things can get and there was barely any dye on the newspaper. Noah laughed and had so much fun and so did I.

We really enjoyed the three new Easter Egg Kits from Paas. I hope you check them out for your Easter Eggs this year and even next. I know we will be definitely look for them again next year. It was so much fun to share this experience with Noah.
