Children who watch less TV are more likely to read well and be fit. Turning off the screen gives more family time, too. "Turnoff Week" is a great time to jump start your family into being active together. For ideas, check: http://www.screentime.org

Kids Can peel and grate the carrot, measure ingredients, stir the batter. If they are ready to use a hot griddle, help them use a measuring cup to dip and pour a small amount of batter onto the griddle rather than holding the entire bowl.
Carrot Pancakes
1/2 cup quick or old-fashioned oatmeal
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup grated carrot
1 egg
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
- Mix oatmeal and buttermilk and set aside to soak.
- Peel and grate the carrot with a fine grater.
- Add egg, oil, and milk to the oatmeal mixture; beat well. Stir in the grated carrot.
- Measure dry ingredients and stir into the wet ingredients until batter is fairly smooth. If it seems too thick add a small amount of milk.
- Spray griddle with non-stick cooking spray. Heat griddle. (To see if griddle is hot enough, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If drops skitter around, heat is just right.)
- For each pancake, Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle
- Cook until pancakes are puffed and dry around edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown.
- Serve with applesauce, fresh fruit or yogurt
Makes 5 servings, 3 pancakes each.
