Even if just one bowl, it would have to be washed out between making each color. What a mess. Wasteful in time and water, and hardly "green". Just make cute shapes for the kids, like all the other mothers, and throw some beautiful fruit on there for your color splash, as well as natural sweetness. They can play with crayons and express their own creativity after breakfast if they need a shot of color in the mornings to wake up.

I think adults need a special treat as well but we also want to watch our figures. I found the most amazing whole wheat pancake recipe with a wild blueberry syrup which is absolutely delicious and not bad for you! I found them on www.cookingforbimbos.com.

Speaking from experience, both sides brown, hear me, BROWN. The color is in the middle, but there is no freakin' way that they look like these obviously doctored photos. All of you are going to waste your time, trying to add enough food coloring to get these colors. AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN! NO WAY. NO HOW!
Shame on the author for photoshopping these pancakes.

2-21-2010 @1:09PM JD said... This is just not right. Why use food coloring? There are plenty of healthy natural foods that can be pureed and added to pancake batter to make these colors without using artificial colorants - like blueberries or other dark berries, strawberries, peaches and apricots, fresh mint, etc. and the pancakes would be healthier.

2-21-2010 @1:13PM book said... what a really bad idea, lets start a kids morning by putting dye in their bodies and lots of dye at that. That much food coloring is not good for any body and for some kids can cause a lot health issues. Want colorful pan cakes for breakfast. Top the with peachs, berries or pinapple.

And to Inkling that thinks that food colorings AREN'T a problem because they are in everyt thing she/he eats....wake up! Just because the big food companies and the FDA allow them in NO WAY means they are "healthy" or don't cause health issues. How about "coloring" some ricotta pancakes with mashed blueberries, strawberries and kiwi. Now that is a rainbow stack you can "live" with.

The tie-dyed (Swirl) idea would be interesting as well. My first glace gave me a flashback to several acid trips in 1969!! Trippie stuff all right.

Kids see rainbow colored flags, stickers, etc. around here, theres no pot of gold at the end, just 2 men having sex. They should be proud! Gross, Id never make or eat those things.

What I said was that this was not a good suggestion, or more specific visual enticement to be presenting as a healthy breakfast alternative for children. Being an emergency health care provider for over 30 years AND a diabetic, carbs and sugar are indeed a major contributor to diabetes and sugar is basically toxic to the human body, especially in large quantities. I stand behind my original comments regarding a heaping stack of atificially colored, butter and sugar soaked pancakes being shown and offered as a good suggestion for a child's breakfast.
