RED VELVET OMBRE ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒธ

in #esteem โ€ข 6 years ago (edited)

Hello my Dearest Foodies,

I know Valentine's Day was yesterday and I am late with the recipe, however, things did not worked out as I was planning.

To be honest, I had totally different recipe in mind, but because my hand is not ready to roll dough, I had to quickly come up with something easier that I could do and with ingredients I had available.

I addition, I was having trouble with the photoshoot, because my DIY lighting that was okay so far wasn't working too well in this case. It looks like I will have to purchase lighting kit also called STUDIO IN A BOX from Amazon I am thinking about for a while. I was delaying that because I just bought a new camera and I didn't want to spend more money again. Oh well, I guess I have to!

Anyway, enough of my excuses, lol. I hope you still can use this recipe this weekend, since we have a long weekend here in Canada and our friends in U.S. probably as well. Nevertheless, there is always a good time to make pancakes, without any special reason, so I wish you will try them.

I hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day and I wish you a wonderful weekend ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒธ

What a colorful stack of pure deliciousness! I love pancakes and pink pancakes are even better! This makes me think that I haven't had pancakes for ages.. I like this ombre look.. I've seen people who had like 8 pancakes and each of them had a different shade of pink. Well, this really isn't for me as I don't have patience for playing with food like this :D Yes, it does look beautiful but by the time that you're done, everything is cold and not that enjoyable anymore :)

I hope that your weekend was lovely and I wish you a great start of the new week!

Thank you so much Sweetie, I am glad you like it. And by the way thy are easy to heat up, but I ate first few right way. lol. The stack could of been a lot higher ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒธ

Thank you so much, you are very kind @splatz ๐Ÿ˜Š

I would love to get a taste of this - looks yumyumyum

Thank you so much my Friend, it was delicious ๐Ÿ˜Š

Please ship some of these bad boys over next time Lena

Howdy Miss Lena! wow look at that wonderful creation! It's gorgeous. It's a work of art. It looks like something the great lenasveganliving would create! lol. It really is marvelous though, no joking. And superbly healthy. It doesn't taste like beets does it? Because I know beets are a superfood and all but I don't like the taste of them, one of the few things I've ever had that I don't like the taste of.
This post is near perfection though!

Howdy Janton! You are so funny, but thank you so much and don't worry, they do not taste like beets. They are delicious, even the next day. It was late when I finished the photoshoot, so I had to put them in the fridge, I reheat them on the frying pan the next day. I also blended the cream with the raspberries and ate each pancake with little bit of that cream. It was soooooooo delicious. However, you would probably like the most the dark one with 2 tsp cacao and 2 tsp beet. It was very good. You can make all of them like that. To bad yo are too lazy to cook ๐Ÿ˜‚

howdy today Miss Lena! I think you did a fantasic job on those and some day I will definitely start cooking and baking! I will. I'm just glad those pancakes don't taste like beets because that is my kind of recipe and I will actually make and probably consistently so thank you!
How has your day gone, have you been learning about your new camera?

I am very happy to hear that Janton, because they really are delicious. You can also make them plain, without the powder and top with fruit and maple syrup.

I did not get the chance to learn about my camera, because I am doing laundry, vacuuming and talking to everybody all over the internet, lol. But thank you for asking. How is your day going?

howdy Miss Lena! Are you on facebook and other sites besides Steemit?
I'm doing great. We went to another town today to buy a new phone for Mrs. J so it was nice to be able to get out and do a little driving. But the local police, sheriffs, and state troopers had people stopped all the way there and back! On the way back I counted 8 law enforcement vehicles! on a 15 mile stretch of highway. So I don't know what was going on but they must need the money so they were catching people speeding.

Now I'm back to working on steemit for a little while, probably will watch a movie later.

So Mrs. J got new phone; that's nice and it's good you enjoyed the trip except those troopers! I think it's also because lots of people still celebrating Valentine's and they are are drinking. And of course, they always need money, lol.

Oh so Mrs.J has the weekend off? So you can will watch a movie together? I wish you both a wonderful evening ๐Ÿ˜Š

Oh and yes, I am on FB, Instagram and my friend messaged me from Hungary via Viber.

Howdy again Miss Lena! how interesting, a friend in Hungary! What is Viber? is that like facebook? Yes Mrs. J had the weekend off so it's nice to have her around. She's a much better cook than I am, even Jack prefers her cooking! lol.

I bet she is, although she should be cooking when she working all week. You can learn!!!

Viber is like Skype and this friend is the one with so many crazy stories I told you about. She lives in Canada, but she went to take care of here elderly mother to Hungary and she is still there. Unfortunately, it is not good for her to be there so long, especially because of the food. She gained 20lb since October.

Oh my God, these pancakes look beautiful. You are always making art food. Thatโ€™s food that looks like art. Hahaโ€ฆ the hombre is great too. Love the pink, love the pancakes, love the creativity yet simplicity. Great job @lenasveganliving!

Thank you so much Sweetie for the compliment and for always making me laugh ๐Ÿ˜

๐Ÿ˜˜

Thanks for the recipe,i will make it tomorrow and i will bring the results.

I am happy to hear that, thank you so much ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒธ

Welcome

I think your photos are quite wonderful! But it is always fun to get new toys to play with isn't it? Your Valentine treat is so much healthier than the sugar cookies that my family made! I really hope you see a huge improvement with your hand very soon.

Yes you are right Melinda, new toys are always fun, lol. It;s just with my hands right now, everything is difficult, but I hope it will get better soon. Thank you so much my Dear ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒธ

Give yourself time to heal! I understand difficult. We have depended on our bodies to behave a certain way our entire lives. When they no longer can do what we expect them to do it is so hard to adjust. Hugs from me.

Thank you so much Melinda, I am doing my best, but it would e easier if I had a butler, lol.
