pancakes and a vacation

Sunday is Billy's only day off.  It used to be a day of sleeping in and hot breakfasts but now it usually means Jake and I  snuggle-up on the couch reading books.  Billy still gets a little sleep in because he gets in so late from his Saturday night game.  So Sunday has basically turned into every other day.  I am obviously a big fan of snuggling-up with a book, even if it means we read the same book six times before a new one is subbed in.  But I also miss our warm family breakfast together.  So we decided to start making breakfast for lunch on Sunday's; I'm so excited.  

Today it's pancakes!  And really, because I'm the cook, it will probably be pancakes a lot.  I like to first butter mine and then drizzle honey on top.  I've ate them that way every since I was a kid.  Mmmm.  I'm also not opposed to fresh fruit and whipped cream.  How could you go wrong?!  

I always make this basic pancake recipe.  Do you have a pancake recipe that you just couldn't be without?  

I'd love to try something new.   

If you ever happen to be in Victoria, Willies Bakery is a must.  They have a pancake-of-the-day and it is a surprise each time.  There is no schedule.  You just show-up and find out what fantastic combination they dreamed-up for that particular day.  I was lucky enough to go when they were serving white chocolate and cashew pancakes.  Delicious.   

 

We also have a vacation coming-up.  Five days without hockey!  We are going to spend  a few days in Paris and relax together.
