Check out what we woke up to...
I'd say it stuck. Literally a winter wonderland.
In honor of our first and probably (hopefully) only snowfall of the year we had snowy pancakes.
I used some Kodiak Cakes pancake mix for the first time...
I have searched high and low for a good, healthy pancake mix or recipe. I'm not kidding. I've been searching FOREVER. This is the BEST pancake mix EVER EVER EVER. It's better than Hungry Jack buttermilk mix. It was $7 for the box but it was worth every single penny.
I topped our pancakes with Crazy Richard's PB, banana, real maple syrup, and snow (coconut). This was outrageous. You'll definitely be seeing this combo again soon. We both inhaled our pancakes.
Then we headed out to play!
She may look like she had a good time. And maybe there for a split second she did... But most of the time was spent doing this...
I had to work for those smiles. She hated the snow. It was cold and wet. She lasted long enough to take a quick walk and build a little snowman.
When we came inside my belly was already growling... I had half a Kardea bar to tide me over until lunch. The reason I only had half because it was a little yucky. It had a weird smell and left a gross after taste. I bought it because the nutrition facts were really good. 150 cals, 7g protein...
It didn't tide me over for very long. For lunch I had a grilled turkey, spinach, and sonoma cheese wedge wrap. Sonoma cheese wedges are like laughing cow but I like the sonoma better!
We spent the rest of the afternoon inside watching UP!. What a cute movie!
For dinner we went out with my mom and dad. I had a turkey pita with coleslaw plus a couple of the squirrel's fries. We also had fried pickles... YUM.
Well I'm off to bed now. I can't believe all the entries for the giveaway already! It's neat because a lot of you haven't heard about those bars. See y'all tomorrow!

Where in NC are you from? I live near Hickory. I am so ready for the spring. :)
I live near Wilmington... It's on the coast about an hour from South Carolina. I liked the snow today but am ready for it to go away :)
I love Kodiak flapjacks!!! They are sooo good!!
I swear I'll never buy another pancake mix. It was incredible!
kodiak is a GREAT pancake mix! i love everything about it - even the box looks hearty enough to eat.
That pancake mix sounds yummy! Sadly, my boys only ever want oatmeal for breakfast.
I'd love for our (30+ inches of) snow to go away too.
I saw that pancake mix in the store the other day and was so tempted. I think I'll have to splurge next time :)
Aww, poor Squirrel! At least you tried to get her out there.
Where did you find the Kodiak pancake mix? It's made in Utah (where I'm from) but I haven't found it here!
at least you managed to capture the few smiles she had out there! awesome snowman, how fun :)
I'm like the Squirrel...not so keen on snow
But the pics you did get of her + the snowman are adorbale :)
I keep hearing such good things about the Kodiak mix- must find some!
Did you order the Kodiak mix online? I can't find it in stores anywhere.
I don't blame your daughter for hating the snow... it's cold and gross! We are getting sick of it in chicago!
I am so impressed that you get one snowfall a year. I wish our first was our last too!
I found the mix at a little tiny natural foods store where I live... I was just browsing the aisles and saw it. They must have just started carrying it because I've never seen it before. I would definitely order it online though if I had to... It's so good and all you do is add water to the mix! Amazing!
Now I know what my next giveaway could be since all of you are interested in the Kodiak mix :)
Her face is so cute. She is like, "What is this cold, white stuff??"
Aw, love those pictures - too cute. And send your snow up to Vermont - we desperately need some! The South is hogging it all this year :(
Also - totally agree with preferring the Sonoma Jack cheese wedges. Me too!
Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I just watched "UP!" for the first time during our latest snowstorm (We are in NJ) and it was adorable! I laughed AND cried... gotta love a cartoon that can do it all.
Looking forward to reading your blog!

aww so fun! where are you from again? im from SC! it actually snowed here! i bet your little girl loves it!
Kodiak pancake mix is all over the blogosphere but I've never found it anywhere! I hated snow as a kid, too...it's cold!
I love the snowflake's pancake idea. And since my husband makes the pancakes, I'll let him know about this kind.
Your food pictures look mouthwatering.
Your daughter is cute. It's funny how they're not sure about the snow at this age. Thanks for visiting my blog.
I get the same look on my face as the Squirrel when I see snow. Too bad for me that ot lasts a good 4 months where I live! LOL!
I forgot to email you that I posted about the Bobo Bar contest. Hope you saw the post!! I believe it was on Thursday...
We actually got some good snow too here in GA which was surprising. How old is your daughter? Mine is almost 16 months and she reacted to the snow the same way. She loved looking at it but hated being in it for more than a minute.
I totally meant to get some of that pancake mix while I was in the States but completely forgot. Oops!
I love the pic of the snow- goregous!
I saw this mix at my local health food store- will have to try it !! Thanks for the recommendation!!
I hope its the only snow here too! Its already melted and gone and I'm so glad! Your little peanut is so cute...and I couldn't agree with her more...snow is NO fun!
I would love to throw you a party! Happy early birthday ;)
Awww what a darlllinnnggg girl! Her baby teeth are so cute!
Enjoy your Valentine's Day!
Hi Kristen!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I just read your profile. We used to be stationed at Camp Lejeune!! My youngest was born there. My husband was in the Navy and we were with the Marine Corps for 2 years...he was medical.
Anyhow, I look forward to following your blog :)
I'm sick of snow already. There are walls of snow around the roads around here, and it's already turning that nasty mud color. :( Your place still looks quite pretty however. :)
Ooh! I read about that pancake mix before! What exactly is in it? Could I make it from scratch? I finally bought coconut the other day, so I can have snowy food too :)
gorgeous pictures and those pancakes look amazing!
Coconut and pancakes - genius!
Your little girl is SO adorable! Too bad she doesn't like the snow (me neither :P ).
The snow was beautiful while it lasted! We got it in Calabash too! She is so adorable with the snowman!
