Image 1-Gather your ingredients.
Image 2–Whisk together the dry ingredients including the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Image 3-In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients including milk, egg and vegetable oil.
Image 4-Add the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing only until combined. Don’t overmix.
Image 5-Then gently fold in the blueberries
Image 6-Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan to medium-high heat. Use a large spoon or measuring cup to scoop out about ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Pour onto the hot griddle.
Image 7-Cook until golden brown on one side, about 1 minute. Llook for bubbles on the edges to check for doneness. Using a spatula, flip over and cook for about another minute, or until golden.

Serving Suggestions:
Maple syrup is traditional, but there is also blueberry syrup and of course just a dab of butter. You can also combine butter or margarine with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon, combine, and then spread on the pancakes.
You can also top with ham and even cheese for a hearty pancake, or a breakfast biscuit with a difference if you add another one on top, for a great breakfast on the go.
A sausage pattie would also work well with this. Serve ham steak or sausage links on the side for a more hearty breakfast.

Helpful hints:
If you’re making a large number of pancakes, heat your oven to 200F degrees and place the pancakes on a cookie sheet to keep warm. When all the pancakes have been cooked, put the remainder on the stack and transfer them to a plate to serve.

Seated Wedding Reception Games Part 2

Continued from part 1

One silly game that’s always a hit really puts the groom in the spotlight. How well does he know the feel and touch of his new wife? In this game, everyone finds out. You can do this several ways. You can enlist just the wedding party in this game, or as many of the wedding guests that want to participate.

Line each participant up and blindfold the groom. Put the bride somewhere in the mix, and send the groom on a hunt for his bride. The participants can either shake the groom’s hand or give him a kiss on the cheek. In some versions, he might feel their hair or their leg. The details are up to you.

Depending on how far you want to take this game, you can add a fun element to it that is sometimes popular. You have the groom feel the leg of each participant. The best man, or other male member of the wedding party, rolls up his pant leg, puts on a garter and has the groom feel that. The groom has to kiss whoever he thinks is his bride, while still blindfolded. Often, he ends up kissing a man.

For an activity that allows the guests to be audience members instead of participants, consider the game of “feed me”. In this game, the bride is seated and the groom is (again) blindfolded. He’s given a piece of food and then spun around a few times so he’s a little bit dizzy. Guided only by the helpful words of his new bride, he has to find her and get the piece of food into her mouth. Be sure to have the wedding party shadowing him so there are no serious accidents.

Once the groom has fed his new wife, the tables are turned and she is blindfolded and must find him.

A few notes about this activity: when feeding the bride, don’t use wedding cake or a piece of bread with dip. In other words, don’t use anything too messy. If the groom has a hard time finding her mouth, he might likely smear the food on the bride’s face and that is something that won’t make a bride – prettily made up just hours before – too happy. And you especially don’t want to ruin your wedding finery.

There are many ideas for keeping your guests entertained at a seated wedding reception. The only limit is your imagination.
