From April into May

Last month sucked. Last month really, really sucked actually. I wasn't able to keep up with much of anything so my goal for April went out the window. I have a new goal for May though! My goal for the month of May is to only eat foods that I make myself. No more canned soups, no more store-bought bread, no more microwave dinners. This morning I made pancakes from scratch and for dinner we will have beef pot pie! I do have a couple of exceptions to my rule though:

-Store bought jelly and peanut butter are fine
-I will make my own chicken broth but beef broth will still be purchased from the store
-Canned vegetables are fine as long as they are the no sodium kind
-Anything I buy must be as close to its natural state as possible and there can be NO HFCS or MSG in any of it
-Premade pasta is fine
-I will use up the pie crust mix we have in the house before I make my own pie crust from scratch

Here is my pancake recipe from this morning:

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
