mother's day pancakes

Even though it is a bit late I wanted to brag on my husband for a minute:) For Mother's Day he and the boys made me breakfast. My choice. I chose a new pancake recipe that actually required a bit more effort than just opening a box and adding water. And it was worth it. NOT only did he make them BUT he did it with the kids (if you have ever cooked with a 2 and a 4 year old you know how painful this can be:) The results were absolutely delicious and the memories priceless.

We first started out with Starbucks after Mass.





The boys got down to business!














And that was not all...there was also crispy bacon and scrambled eggs.



And if that was not enough...my choice for dinner too! I chose ribs!!






Have you ever noticed that food tastes better when you are not the one cooking??? Thanks honey for a wonderful day..... already excited for NEXT mother's day. No pressure:)
