Ricotta Pancakes with Roasted Strawberries

Christmas was very different for me this year.  I spent it with my wonderful boyfriend cooking a very simple roast chicken with mashed potatoes, roasted carrots and green beans.  We spent two days just being lazy.  Lazy meaning we stayed inside and not left the apartment.  Watched some movies.  Lots of Christmas movies.  I feel great now.  After a few days of not working, I feel rejuvanated.  Ready to tackle the week. 

And these ricotta pancakes...

Not that it requires much tackling.  I just measured all my ingredients in a bowl the night before and just combined everything when I woke up the next morning.  I even left my whites out at room temperature.  (They really whip much easier when they're not fridge cold).

Breakfast Muesli Scones

Before I start on my next post, I need to mention a few things. I'm trying to change the look of Spotted Banana for a more personal feel and reflect who I am a little more. If you've already noticed, there are a few minor changes to the layout of the page already. I'm not a computer person by any means and trying to understand all this computer stuff is mind boggling. But nonetheless, it's a good start for me to try to up my computer knowledge. So, that being said, it'll be a slow work in progress. Now that I've got that out of the way, let's get to the good stuff...

There's one specific brand of muesli Jeremie and I always buy that has a bit of fruit and nuts, and honey toasted until it's nice and crunchy. When our local supermarket stopped carrying our favorite brand, we've been buying all different brands of muesli to find one we both liked. Still no luck.
