Woo-wee! Today is flyin’ by.
Slow down, Sunday!
First thing this morning, Ryan, Sadie and I piled into Ryan’s car and headed to Winter Springs where Ryan had a 9 a.m. soccer game.
Since Ryan likes to arrive to all of his soccer games nice and early to have ample time to warm up, I dropped him off at the soccer field and drove to a nearby dog park to let Sadie run around until his game started.
We ended up staying at the park for a good hour and showed up to Ryan’s game about 10 minutes before halftime.
I enjoyed talking to other spectators while watching the game. Sadie, on the other hand, was all business.
She kept her eyes on the ball… and her dad the whole time.
Ryan’s game concluded around 11 a.m. and we headed home to make a big breakfast.
Since we both only ate a small meal before the soccer game, we were oh-so-hungry when we walked through the door.
I headed straight to the kitchen and got to work!
Breakfast
When I arrived home from work on Friday, a large box of POM Wonderful juice was waiting on my doorstep.
The company sent me a sample of their new flavor of juice, pomegranate cranberry to try.
After talking with some of my blogging friends on Friday about POM juice, they encouraged me to try cooking with it, as I’ve never really experimented with the juice in recipes.
On Sundays I often crave a big, substantial breakfast like French toast or pancakes, so I figured I would try incorporating the juice into a batch of pancakes this morning.
After tasting the batter, I could tell the POM pancakes were going to be a success!
I ate two small pancakes right off the griddle before plating the remaining ‘cakes.
I topped the pancakes with syrup and dug in!
The pancakes were light purple in color from the juice which made them look nice and purdy!
Both Ryan and I agreed that these pancakes were pretty fantastic. We’ll definitely be making these again!

Oh my goodness, could Sadie be any cuter?! What a cutie pa- tootie!!!
Can’t wait to try this recipe 🙂
Those pancakes look so delicious and special! I love making whole wheat pancakes and inventing new pancake recipes. This is one I’ll definitely add to the list! 😉
Sadie is the cutest! I’ll have to try experimenting with juices in cooking, it sounds yummy 🙂
p.s. Did you get a new camera or editing software? These pictures are gorgeous! So vibrant and beautiful, looove it
i attribute it all to windows live writer! there’s a function in the software that allows you to choose “color pop” when editing your pictures. it’s AMAZING!
No way! I haven’t discovered that feature yet – thanks for the tip 🙂
I’ve never experimented with juices in pancakes or any baking for that matter! What a great way to add antioxidants! =)
I didn’t think adding juice to a pancake recipe was possible! Now I know! 🙂
Oh, Sadie! Adorable.
My husband would love these pancakes! I might have to make them.
I love POM and I love pancakes… perfect combo!
wow, those pancakes look great!
Great idea- yum!
I love incorporating juice and different types of sodas into my pancakes. It really adds the flavor. Have you ever tried carbonated water as well? It makes the pancakes much lighter and fluffier.
Those pancakes look so good–the photos you took of them are wonderful!
Those pancakes look great! I am a major pancake lover myself. I would have never thought to put POM in them – great idea!
I bet you could also boil it down and make a syrup?? The pancakes look great though!
Side note… I love Houston’s! The one in Atlanta does not have a hot fudge sundae though…the horror!
I never thought about using Juice in my pancakes or waffles! I’ll have to try that one for sure!
I would have never thought to have added POM to pancakes. I’ve actually got some juice in my fridge now..
gosh i love sadie! your fotos of her always make me smile!
I LOVE your creativity! Glad you had some fun with the new flavor and came up with a new recipe. Enjoy!
