Our personas convince us that there is nothing that we don't know about ourselves -- that we are in fact the person we see in the mirror and believe ourselves to be. But the issue with this is that once we have bought into the story of 'this is who I am,' we shut the door on any other possibility and deny ourselves access to all of who we can be. We lose our ability to choose, because we can't do anything outside the confines of the character we're playing. The predictable persona we've constructed is now in control. We become blind to the immense possibilities for our life."

Heaven For Breakfast

I haven't even finished making them and I had to post this. I ate the first one so quickly I don't think I even really tasted it, and it was still THAT good! I have discovered cinnamon roll pancakes and I think this may be my new special morning breakfast.


Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Ingredients:
PANCAKES:
I just used Aunt Jemima, just follow the recipe on the box or make your favourite pancake batter.

CINNAMON FILLING: 
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon

CREAM CHEESE GLAZE:

4 Tablespoons butter
2 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
1. Prepare pancake batter in one bowl.
2. In a medium bowl, mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. 
3. In a medium, microwave-safe bowl- heat butter and cream cheese until melted. Whisk together until smooth; whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla extract; set aside. 
4. Heat large skillet over medium-low heat. Spray with nonstick spray. Scoop about 3/4 cup batter onto the skillet. When pancake has started to cook a little, swirl in the cinnamon filling. When bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter and keep in a warm oven until ready to serve.


5. When ready to serve, spoon warmed glaze onto the top of each pancake.


I'm not a very good chef so the recipe I was following had way nicer pictures. I'm sure if you used an icing bag or something for the cinnamon part they would come out perfect but mine still tasted divine! 

On a side note: flavour tripping party is tonight! Hope it works!
