I just found the most amazing recipe for banana pancakes. Well actually I found it yesterday, and I made them this morning. They are made of 1 banana and 2 eggs! There is absolutely no flour, so this makes it good for anyone who has gluten intolerance. It's also good for people who are trying to avoid breads and flour products. I am quite sure that children would love them, but so would grownups. They are quite sweet just like they are. I guess if you HAVE to put something on them, I would suggest local honey or real maple syrup. You would not want to ruin them with a bunch of sugary high fructose corn syrup, that is so BAD for you. Here is the link to the website where I found them. She has the directions for making them and a photo....which I don't have....sorry. On the same page she also tells how to make banana ice cream with just bananas....WOW!! I can't wait to try this.

Hummingbird Feeder
A hummingbird feeder is great fun to watch. They are so cute and very interesting. Several of them will try to approach the feeder and then chase each other away. When one finally does get a chance to drink, he will sit on the edge to take several drinks and then fly away to a nearby tree limb to watch for the others to come back. They will go on like this for hours. Mine is placed close enough to the kitchen so that I can watch while cooking, doing paperwork, or working on the laptop.
If you would like to make some nectar for your feeder, you will need to boil 4 cups of water along with 1 cup of sugar. You will need to let it cool to room temperature before pouring it into your feeder. Do not use the red dyed nectar that is sold in stores. The red dye is not good for them. (Red dye is not good for you either.)
Be sure to keep your feeder clean. If you see mold or lots of bugs in your feeder, you will need to clean it. Don't use strong soaps and cleaners. Keep your soaps mild and let it dry before adding your new nectar.
