Even the kids liked this - and it has a good dose of fiber and protein. Much better than the nutritionally empty pancake recipe we normally use!

Books:

* The Heather Wells series by Meg Cabot * Anything by John Grisham * The Artemis Fowl series by Eion Colfer * The Work and the Glory Series and the Kingdom and the Crown Series by Gerald Lund. Really, anything that is well written. I have no patience with authors who have great plots and no talent for storytelling. . . or whose editors were sleeping on the job. I can't enjoy a good book if I am preoccupied with editing said book.
