Kodiak Cakes & a FLASH Giveaway!

**Disclaimer: I have received products to try from Kodiak Cakes & am simply sharing my personal opinion which may vary from yours. I was not compensated for this review.
 

Pancakes are always a favorite breakfast in this house. But what's usually not a favorite, are the instant pancake mixes. Sure they're super convenient, but the taste is always a bit off. Which makes me glad to say, that I've found an instant pancake mix, that not only tastes great, but it actually tastes homemade! 

No added fat, sugar or cholesterol?! Yes, please!

It all started with the Frontier Flapjack and Waffle Mix! Based on an old family recipe, it contains 100% whole grain wheat flour, 100% whole grain oat flour, non-fat dry milk, dried honey, leavening, egg whites & sea salt. Pretty simple. And to keep with the simplicity, you just add water to get light, fluffy, might as well pulled all the ingredients out of the cupboard yourself, pancakes. 

Look at how fluffy those pancakes are!

The Buttermilk & Honey Flapjack & Waffle Mix contains the same grains and honey as the original flapjack mix, but is made with non-fat sweet cream buttermilk with a hint of vanilla, making it a favorite in no time! Actually, they were both so could, that I couldn't even choose which one I liked better. Although I'll assume that one may make for a better tasting waffle (because that's usually how it it), but my waffle maker & I haven't been on speaking terms for a while now. (It's not me, it's the waffle maker.)

No boring muffin flavors here!

Ok, so we all have those morning where we sleep late or the kids just don't cooperate, making the morning a mad rush. I despise those mornings, but they seem to happen all the time. But then I get that pang of guilt, grabbing a toaster pastry or some other convenience food, for my kids to inhale before rushing out the door. The solution: Minute Muffins. 

Paige enjoying a Minute Muffin on a rushed morning, most likely about 10 minutes before the bus comes.

Minute Muffins are an all-natural muffin mix served in a convenient, microwavable cup. Simply add water & microwave for one minute. That's it! Packed with fiber, protein, and whole grain, these  really give you the energy you need first thing in the morning all while tasting good too. And don't forget, they only take one minute to make!
