Pancakes for all!!
And more Kodiak cakes need to be ordered by me this week – all out!
I made our group pumpkin cakes – which Matt decided needs to be renamed “plumpkin” cakes due to their increased soft and plumpness.
New in the household is my $2 IKEA milk frother. I saw Allie use this with great success earlier this summer and picked it up at my last trip to IKEA. I put it in some simple cold 1% milk and FROTH happened in 30 seconds!! So easy – no cappuccino maker required! We used to have a capp. maker and pretty much only used it for the frother. Problem solved for $2!
Going to pack up a picnic – we’re goin’ a’hikin’!!
Sweet and Savvy says
Two bucks for custom cappuccinos?? That’s my kind of deal!
Lauren says
Breakfast twins…again 🙂 Haha…they are just too good. Topped with Biscoff or nut butters-yum!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
“Plumpkin” cakes – love it! I need to get a frother – I’m making my blender double as a frother now. Surprisingly, it woks. More clean up/trouble than it’s worth though.
Marie@feedingfive says
I love those little frothers! I’ve gone through 2 and for the past year have been thinking I need to get another one. I am constantly making individual cups of hot chocolate and it makes mixing so easy. The kids really love this gadget too which explains why we go through em fast.
Kelly @ Foodie Fiasco says
I just bought an $100 frother! I should’ve come to you first. 😉
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Wow, good deal! Have fun on your picnic. It’s rainy here today so sadly not many outdoor activities for me! 🙁
Hillary says
What a beautiful day for a fall hike. Enjoy it!
Drew says
Hey Kath.
Little-off-topic, but:
I just wanted to let you know that I was contemplating some purchases from Ikea but I’m just too frugal to pull the trigger sometimes — But after following your blog and seeing your experience/results with Ikea I thought “its worth it.” You deserve an Ikea referral.
KathEats says
Oh that’s nice to hear. I’ve been very happy with my Ikea purchases 🙂
Mai says
yummm. i haven’t had pancakes in forever…i’m more of a waffle person, but these pics really make me want to go make some!
Katie @ Raisins&Apples says
a milk frother is exactly what I could have used this morning! It makes coffee so much more enjoyable and I guess you can control your own ‘frothiness’. genius.

Beautiful breakfast! I love IKEA! $2 for a frother, yes please!
Jon Davis says
Those look amazing. I will be right over! haha.
lynda @ healthy hoboken girl says
Nice breakfast!! We’re going on a hike today too….it’s the perfect weather for it. Enjoy your guests and the hike!
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
I *LOVE* my frother! Nothing better than at home ‘steamed’ milk with EXTRA foam!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
i’ve got a frother like that!!! i don’t drink coffee anymore so i rarely use it anymore. loved it, though.
Hope says
Those pumpkin pancakes look delicious! I have no idea that Ikea has a milk frother for $2!! I must go there asap and pick it up! That would make for a delicious cup of coffee! 🙂 Thanks for the tip!
Stef @ Living HI says
I never knew there was hand-held frother! When I worked at a coffee shop I would fill a mug with some nice fluffy froth, sprinkle cinnamon on top, and eat it with a spoon- too good.
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
$2 for froth!? Amazing! I need to get my butt to IKEA!
Simply Life says
I think I see a B&B as your next business!
Allie@LiveLaughEat says
Ahhh yes!! Man I was really into that frother this summer. I need to start frothing again now that it’s cooler. I keep forgetting it only takes 30 seconds.
Ashley@FoodNFitnessDiaries says
I didn’t even know Ikea sold something like that! $2 seems WELL worth it to me! I’ll have to get one. 🙂 Your “plumpkin” pancakes look delish!!!
A Teenage Gourmet (Sami) says
If you use fat free milk (organic work best because it’s been heated higher), the froth really stands up and doesn’t “dissolve.” It’s better. 🙂
Kaila @healthyhelperblog! says
I want a milk frother! Such a great invention!!!
Deva @ Deva by Definition says
I love how orange the cakes are – so delicious looking! I hope y’all have a lovely day out.
Teri H says
I love my Ikea frother!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I have one of those frothers too and I love it!
Khushboo says
Twenty-six comments so far :)…know you’d appreciate that :)!
KathEats says
Of course!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
I can’t believe that was only $2!!! I NEED one! haha
Angel7 says
Plumpkin sounds like the perfect name! You should make a Great Harvest pumpkin pancake mix name “Plumpkin Pancake Mix” 🙂

Kristi Rimkus says
$2 sounds a whole lot better than $4 or more at Starbucks and it looks just as delicious – especially the pancakes!
~Christy @ wonderofallthings says
Always wondered about the frothers — the only thing we’d use a capp. maker for, too…since we don’t drink coffee! (froth for chai, now, that’s a different story…or hot chocolate…now I want a fancy frothy drink!!!). Hope the hike is great!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
Those pancakes look ultra delicious and fluffy 🙂
Anna says
When I read the title of the post, I thought “the cost of froth” was going to be a euphemism for a hangover, hahaha 🙂 I suppose in all fairness you were drinking wine, not beer.
In regards to the actual frother: what a deal!
KathEats says
Hahah – it DID have double meaning!
Cait's Plate says
I love my frother – it’s one of my favorite things in my kitchen 🙂 It makes regular coffee and tea feel so special 🙂
Cait's Plate says
PS – I support Matt’s renaming of the pumpkin cakes to “plumpkin” – I want a plumpkin cake!!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Pancakes look delish! Have fun hiking 🙂
Brittnie (A Joy Renewed) says
What a great deal! Tasty breakfast followed by fun outdoors – sounds like the perfect Sunday to me.
Emily@SavoryandSavage says
Wow, a 2$ frother? What a great bargain!
I see a trip to Ikea in my future 🙂
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
i LOVE our milk frother. i always felt like i was paying starbucks $3 for foam. their coffee i can recreate at home, but the foam i wasn’t able to do.. until the frother! one of my favorite gadgets.
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
I have that frother too! I forget to use it, whoops. Just be careful you keep it well submerged. I accidentally got distracted once and ended up frothing my countertops and walls. Nice 🙂
Hilary says
Good idea on the frother. I’m with you….the foam is totally the best part of a cappuccino maker anyway.
Health Bee says
That’s some delicious looking pancakes! The table is beautiful! Is it made from stained glass ?
KathEats says
It’s not glass – more like ceramics
Sarah says
Kath,
Saw these on Etsy the other day and thought of you! Now you can take your oats in a jar…to GO! or your yogurt messes, smoothies, pumpkin beers etc…

Anna says
omigosh, those are amazing.
KathEats says
Awww love those!
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
Beautiful day to go hiking! I hope y’all are having fun!
Lisa (bakebikeblog) says
oh my – these look oh so delicious!
Baking Serendipity says
I love pancakes and these look fantastic! Perfect weekend breakfast 🙂 And a milk frother? So cool! I’ve been into making my own fancy drinks lately, and try to frequent Starbucks just a little less. This would be the perfect tool!
Julia H. @ The Petite Spiel says
THAT’s how they make froth?? I never knew!!! Every time I get a latte, I always wonder how that layer of froth on top comes to be….now I know!
Maureen says
Your food always looks so delicious!
Christine @ Oatmeal in my Bowl says
I keep meaning to get a milk frother! Of course, if I go to Ikea that milk frother is liable to costs me $500+. 😉
Becky says
I have that frother from Ikea and LOVE it !!! We also went hiking today and it was beautiful out (80 degrees in Ohio today!!) I love Kodiak cakes and have to ask you how you make them with pumpkin. Sounds YUM.
Bizzle says
I emailed Matt about this FOREVER ago! I wanted him to get you one for your Xmas stocking! Glad you finally did. Happy frothing.
KathEats says
Ahh! He never mentioned it!
Dominique says
I have a very similar frother but I purchased mind for $10 at another shop. Had I known that Ikea carried these I totally would have gone there first. I love making tea lattes with the frother and considering that a grande at Starbucks is $4 and change, my frother’s already paid for itself.
I love your pumpkin pancakes. I have a pancake mix (just add liquid) that I have to use up but first, a can of pumpkin!
Ann @ Running With Chopstix says
I love milk frothers! So much easier to use than those hot air pressurized ones on machines! All I need is a stovetop espresso maker and Starbucks will be a distant memory 🙂
Elise says
What!!! mine cost $14.99, and It looks exactly the same. Boo
