TIP OF THE MONTH
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF “SHOULDER MONTHS”
Shoulder months refer to the transitional periods between peak heating and cooling seasons. They offer a great opportunity to reduce home energy consumption as the need for extensive heating or cooling is reduced. Look for simple ways to boost indoor comfort without running your heating and cooling system. Use ceiling fans and open windows on breezy days to ventilate your home. On cooler days, add a layer of clothing and avoid running the heat.
Easy Apple Pancakes
Ingredients:
¾ cup unsweetened applesauce
2 eggs
¼ cup unsweetened milk
1 tbsp. pure maple syrup
Directions:
1 ½ cups rolled oats
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon, vanilla extract
¼ tsp. allspice, nutmeg, salt
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth. If batter is too thick add a few extra tablespoons of milk. Lightly coat a griddle with oil and place over a medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add about 1/3 cup of the batter to the griddle for each pancake and cook for 2-4 minutes until pancakes slightly puff up and you see a few bubbles along the edges. Flip cakes and cook until golden brown on underside. Wipe skillet clean and repeat with more oil and remaining batter. Serve and enjoy!
