Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup yellow cake mix
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 cups milk (I used vanilla almond milk)
assorted sprinkles

Directions:
Combine flour, cake mix, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl and mix.
Add 1 cup of milk (Start with 1 cup of milk and add more if needed), egg and vanilla extract and stir until smooth. (You want the batter to look like regular pancake batter; not too thin, not too thick.)

Preheat a skillet on medium heat.
Fold desired amount of sprinkles into batter. Pour batter in 1/4 cup measurements onto skillet and let cook until bubbles form on top, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute more. Serve with vanilla glaze.

Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
assorted sprinkles
Mix milk, extract and powdered sugar until glaze forms. You may need to add a little more sugar or water/milk to reach desired consistency. Mix into glaze and drizzle on pancakes.

Review: Everyone in my family loved them. My son was very  excited to have pancakes with sprinkles for breakfast on his birthday! These will be a family tradition from now on!

Pour cream sauce over shredded chicken in a bowl. And stir to combine.
In the bottom of 2 foil baking pans (I purchase these at Dollar Tree 2 for $1.00) pour 1 can of enchilada sauce and spread evenly to cover bottom of pan.
Now take your tortillas and fill generously with the creamy chicken mixture and roll up.
Place rolled enchiladas in pan seam side down and cover each pan of enchiladas with sauce - 1 can for each pan.
Sprinkle top of enchiladas with cheese.
Cover each pan with a double layer of aluminum foil.
To bake - Preheat oven to 350° and bake unfrozen for 45 minutes or 70-90 minutes if frozen.
Frozen enchiladas will hold in freezer for 4-6 month.

Have yet to make these as they were prepared as a freezer meal. I will update once we have baked these.Iwill say the filling was yummy!!

Cheesy Italian Chicken

 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
2 cups Monterey Jack Cheese

Mix all ingredients together in freezer bag. Seal well and freeze. As always please make sure you use a good quality freezer bag to insure quality freezing.

To Cook:
Thaw completely in the fridge before putting in your slow cooker.
Cook in slow cooker for 6-8 hours. Stir often so the cheese doesn't stick to the bottom/sides.
Serve over rice or noodles.
You may want to add a dash of milk to thin the sauce, after it has been cooked some and you see how thick it is.

Review: I have yet to make this as I prepared it as a freezer meal. Update will be posted once I have completed the recipe.
