My friend Tricia came up with this idea for her Sunday School
activity/treat, and I thought it was awesome, so I borrowed it for our
Reformation breakfast. On Reformation we celebrate Martin Luther's
nailing the 95 Theses on the Catholic church's door, thus starting the
break from Catholicism to what eventually became the Lutheran church,
which we are a part of. One of the symbols is the Luther seal.
So we made the Luther seal on pancakes.
The pancake for the yellow ring, blueberries for the blue, whipped cream for the white rose, strawberries for the heart, and chocolate chips for the cross. Pretty and delicious!
One of my November goals is to add more Paleo foods into our diet. It's something that we want to try to see how it affects how we feel, weight loss, and so on. If it helps, and if we can fit it into our budget, we're going to keep it going, at least part of the time. This does mean, however, that I'm back to planning all the meals, which I don't love doing (although it does make life a whole lot easier in the long run).

Unless linked otherwise, a lot of these recipes are from the Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook, which we bought a couple weeks ago. We're not completely Paleo - you can see that we're still having cereal for breakfast, and we do have the occasional non-Paleo item. But overall, it's a good introduction.
