Rainbow Pancakes with a side of Soapbox

Over the past week, my kids have been eating whatever I could scrounge out of our freezer since busy Mama forgot to buy their Cheerios on the last grocery store run. Noah asked if maybe we could have pancakes on Saturday, and to make up for my less than stellar meal planning, and because we generally do have pancakes on the weekend, I agreed.

I've gotten pretty bored with the same old plain pancakes, and for weeks have been trolling Pinterest for some new ideas. I've seen this pancake photo over and over, but didn't make them for a variety of reasons. Late last night, I decided to take a closer look at them and possibly surprise my family with Rainbow Pancakes for breakfast.

While I was checking out that post, I noticed she'd linked to another one of her posts regarding how she deals with people she calls Rainbow Pancake Haters. Because I was curious, I clicked on the link. Turns out, she's had some people leaving nasty comments on her blog about her not only feeding her children pancakes ('worthless nonfood') but berating her for putting so much food coloring in the pancakes that they look like 'melted plastic'. Some of those nasty posters went so far as to tell her she was a horrible mother. What?!! She's a horrible mother because she wanted to make a fun home-cooked meal for her children? Where do those people get off? Anyway, I decided then and there to make these pancakes for my boys this morning, just to spite those posters and to support Amanda over at iambaker.net. Here is our version, fed to my little men just a few hours ago, served with greek yogurt 'clouds'.
