So,
what is a Bisquick Dad? Well, in short, a Bisquick Dad is a good man who has
taken responsibility for his children, regardless of any other circumstances,
and tries his best to make healthy meals for his family and himself. He often
solicits the assistance of products including, but not limited to, Bisquick,
Hamburger Helper, Rice-A-Roni, Kraft Mac & Cheese Dinners, and so forth.
The
cool thing, Bisquick Dad, is the fact that you are an active caring father for your children.
Not
every dad is a Julliard-trained chef.
I’m
certainly not, but what I am is an experienced single father and I have learned
by making many, many mistakes.
Considering
my numerous trials and even more numerous errors, I have found a number of ways
to help keep my kidlings healthy and fit through diet. One of my tricks
includes substituting healthier ingredient for basic, Bisquick Dad recipes. So,
here’s a suggestion for the next time you make pancakes for your brood and use
Bisquick.
Get
more protein in your children's diets by substitute a half a cup of Bob’s Red
Mill Almond Flour for a half a cup of Bisquick. By doing so, you’ll be
replacing that half of a cup of almost pure carbohydrates, 42 grams compared to
12 grams, with a half a cup of almost pure protein, 4.5 grams compared to 14
grams.
Don’t
stop there. As I’d blogged a few weeks ago, by substituting Fairlife 2% Milk,
the protein doubles from about 7 grams to about 13 grams per cup. And, finally,
consider replacing the couple of eggs in the Bisquick recipe with egg whites.
The egg whiles will cut 125 calories, 10 grams of fat, and a whopping 370
milligrams of cholesterol.
So,
with those little changes, Bisquick Dad, you’ve made a healthier pancake/waffle/biscuit for
your progeny while giving them the energy to take on their day. Now, if you can
only get them to do their homework when they get home from school.
