Happy Pancake Day!

Happy Pancake Day with a tasty recipe by Gooseberry Patch. Pancakes are great for any meal and my kids love them, especially when the special recipe by their Papa!

Thanks to Gooseberry Patch for posting on Facebook that today is International Pancake Day! Pancakes or waffles are usually the food of choice when my girls have a sleepover! I offer plain or chocolate chip. Guess which variety gets made? If you said chocolate chip then, yes, you are correct! 

My dear Father-in-law is the King of Pancakes! It is a family tradition to have at least one breakfast when we go visit.  His pancakes are plain, raspberry or blueberry. The last time we were home, he threw a twist and made some blackberry pancakes!  What truly makes him the King of Pancakes is that he makes shapes for the kids!  Dinosaur shapes have been the ruling shape since his boys were little. This last trip home he was making pigs and unicorns for the youngest grand-daughters. What is the world coming to these days?
