My First Solo Kitchen Experience // Making Pancakes

Today I was prompted by my mom to cook something... cook pancakes... for myself. For some reason, I was more motivated than usual, and I gave it a shot. I figure I'm a fourteen year old girl who needs to know how to make something beyond a peanut butter sandwich. After all, I won't live at home forever and knowing how to cook will probably serve me well no matter what I do when I'm older.

 

So, Step One to becoming a competent home-cook: Make pancakes from a box. Eep. 







 

I made two pancakes (although it isn't exactly obvious if you judge by the final picture). I used coconut oil to grease the pan before I made the first one, but that didn't really work out too well, so next I tried using canola oil. It was in a spray can, and for some reason the pan stayed pretty fizzy. At least for a bit. But don't ask me why-- I don't know! =)



Now, my pancakes may not have been perfect, but they were edible. Although next time I should probably just get my mom to help me.

Hoping your cooking turns out better than mine this week! And if not, well, practice makes progress. =) Just think how incredibly blessed we are to even have food to cook with in the first place! We don't think of it as a luxury, but I am beginning to suspect it is one.

Until next time...
