Pancakes are always a hit, but bunny shaped pancakes are epic. Your little ones might not want to leave the breakfast table to hunt eggs on Easter morning when you have this adorable set!
This Peeps pancake set will help you create a breakfast that will rival the treats in their baskets. This adorable set comes with a bunny-shaped skillet and enough mix to make six pancakes.
Unfortunately, the pancakes are not marshmallow flavored, but there’s nothing stopping you from adding chocolate chips and sprinkles to the batter! You can find the Peeps Pancake Mix & Skillet Set on Amazon for $11.87.
Your fave NBA star is about to make some new friends—on Sesame Street! The iconic children’s show will welcome basketball champ Stephen Curry and his super-talented celeb wife Ayesha to the neighborhood in a very special episode.
While you might expect the NBA star to focus solely on basketball, both Step and Ayesha use their co-starring Sesame Street roles to help the youngest of viewers to understand the benefits of a healthy breakfast. The pair team up for a “C is for Cooking!” challenge, whipping up pancakes along with Elmo, Cookie Monster and Grover.
Before the challenge starts Grover asks, Why are we talking about breakfast?” Ayesha answers, “Eating a healthy breakfast every morning helps you learn and play.” After Ayesha and Elmo win their pancake challenge (shh! don’t tell your kiddos), they head to the hoop to play a little basketball—of course!
This isn’t first time the Curry fam has focused on the benefits of healthy eating. Their nonprofit Eat.Learn.Play. is, according to the foundation’s website, “Committed to unlocking the amazing potential of every child by fighting to end childhood hunger, ensuring students have access to a quality education, and providing safe places for all children to play and be active.”
Catch the new Sesame Street episode on HBO Max starting Thursday, Mar. 25.

If our kids could eat two foods on repeat it would be noodles and pancakes. Catherine McCord of Weelicious combined these two popular dishes into one, and we have a hunch this noodle pancake recipe will be a new fave in your home. We love that it utilizes those leftover noodles we bet you never know what to do with. With the addition of diced veggies and eggs, these noodle pancakes make a healthy and filling meal.
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked egg noodles
3 eggs, whisked
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/3 cup corn (I used frozen corn that I defrosted first)
1/3 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/3 cup broccoli, chopped (raw or cooked)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
olive oil
Method:
1. Place all the ingredients (except for the olive oil) in a bowl and stir to combine.
2. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat.
3. Pour about 1/4 cup of the noodle mixture per pancake in the pan and cook for 3 minutes (you can pour as many pancakes at once as fit comfortably in your pan).
4. Flip the pancakes and cook an additional 3 minutes. Continue making the pancakes with the remaining mixture.
To freeze: Allow to cool, then place in ziploc bag, label and freeze. When ready, pop them into the oven at 300 for 10 minutes or until warmed through or defrost in fridge for 24 hours then heat in a dry pan.

If you’re not-so patiently waiting for your free short stack from IHOP on National Pancake Day, you’ll have to wait a little longer. With Covid concerns a top priority, the iconic eatery has chosen to postpone its annual giveaway.
This year, IHOP’s National Pancake Day free pancake offer will look a bit different—kind of like just about everything else in 2020/2021. Instead of a one-day deal, IHOP will celebrate with a month-long event.

Jay Johns, President at IHOP said in a press statement, “At IHOP, our top priority is the safety of our guests and team members.” Johns continued, “Given nothing about this past year has been ordinary—and while we look forward to celebrating National Pancake Day with guests under our blue roof in the future – we recognize it’s not possible to gather millions of our closest family and friends in our restaurants on a single day this year. As a result, we decided to flip National Pancake Day on its head and give our guests an entire month to redeem their free Short Stack with an IOU, while also continuing to put purpose behind our pancakes by giving back to those most in need: our charity partners.”
MyHOP email club members and customers who register for MyHOP by Mar. 31, 2021 will receive an IOU for a free short stack of buttermilk pancake goodness. You can redeem your coupon in IHOP restaurants, on IHOP.com, or through the IHOP mobile app starting Apr. 1, 2021. Use the coupon any day in April for in-restaurant or to-go orders.
Don’t worry if you forget to register for MyHOP. Non-members can get a free short stack in April (limit one per customer) with a $10 or more purchase.
