I do not yet have any kids. The first thing a new (in-waiting) mother seems to need to learn is that lots of people get a big high on judging other pregnant women and mothers. Geeeeez! These pancakes look excellent (so much so that I am returning to this page after spotting it last week!). If a kid has these once in a while, even the whole stack of them: LUCKY KID! Can't wait for an excuse to make them...off to find my nieces and nephews! I am pregnant. I do not yet have any kids.

I personally love this idea of the rainbow pancakes! Who said she gave her kids the entire stack? maybe they picked out their favorite color and ate that one! By the looks of things if shes going to go through all the trouble and mess to make these adorable pancakes for her kids then she is a great mother... i'm sure most of you that are freaking out about the food coloring have had it a time or two yourselves and your all doing just fine..so just enjoy the idea and love behind these pancakes!

I was going to post a link to natural food colorings to quell the uproar, but someone beat me to the punch (see objectsofwhimsy's comment above!). So I'll propose two solutions for those who were grossed out by the sheer quantity of food on the plate in the photo: 1) Make smaller "silver dollar" pancakes. They are just as delicious as their gargantuan brethren, and they only increase the 'cuteness' factor: http://bit.ly/bY1Qhf 2) Use plastic squeeze bottles to make true rainbow-striped pancakes of any shape and size. One example is here: http://bit.ly/9Isjez A pack of 6 squeeze bottles costs ~$5 (http://bit.ly/ckPKaU). When they're not full of rainbow batter, they are great for storing homemade sauces. And you can get that gourmet effect of smearing a vibrant sauce along the edge of a porcelain plate. Now, quit complaining and have some fun next Saturday morning :-) Love this idea!

This is one of the suppliers Ifound through google http://www.indiatree.com/products/decorative/natures_colors/index.html you should be able to find a local manufacturer. There seems to no shortage of suppliers and all colours are available even the blue colour derived from spirulina I believe.

I am the horrible mother that made these for her children. My kids eat raw, natural, and organic food for 95% of their diet. They take VitD3 and VitC and probiotics and fish oil. They are just really good kids and I wanted to TREAT them one morning. I use GEL food coloring which requires a FRACTION of normal food coloring to achieve the desired results. Spread out over the entire batter, I probably used a total of 12 drops. The batter was mostly organic (based on my ingredients) and I added flax seed. You do more damage by letting your kid eat french fries and fruit snacks then I did with my rainbow pancakes. I am sad to see that people cant just take in a moment of joy and let is sit and warm their heart. Why must everything be a "You Should" or a "You Shouldn't". Just be happy. Jeez. WOW!
