One of my favorite thing to eat is pancakes. If I go out for breakfast I often order a stack of pancakes and seriously love each fluffy bite. I like them hot and in stacks of three with blueberry sauce on the side. I like the ones at the local greasy spoon and I like the lemon and ricotta ones at Bacchus Bistro downtown.
If it is my birthday or a special occasion, I will order pancakes. Sometimes I try to be healthy and order the fruit plate but end up taking one of my husbands pancakes. You can tell that I am plotting this pancake theft in the picture. I think I had 1.5 of those delicious room service pancakes. Yum!
There is something about pancakes that make me happy. Maybe it is because they are simple and delicious and easy to make? Pancakes were the first real food that I learned how to cook as a child and I remember on a few occasions whipping up a batch for my family starting as early as in grade 6. My son also loves to devour pancakes as much as I do and this makes me smile. What child doesn't love pancakes?
I enjoy this Pancake Love print by juxtaposeddesign available on Etsy. It captures my thoughts exactly!
Maybe tomorrow will be a pancake morning. What about in your house?
Don't forget to vote for Mama in the City over at Vancouver Mom.
Looking for something?
Well, Hello There!
Mama in the City since 2008 and blogging since 2009!
My first apartment baby is now a full on boy and we struggle with finding space in our condo for his growing toy collection. I'm also a new mum to our second apartment baby, born January 13, 2012!
I have a husband who is an excellent cook and takes amazing photos. I work as a labor and delivery nurse and really love the work that I do and gave birth to baby #2 at my work place.
I use this space to write about my family and to share my passion about breastfeeding, birth and parenting. I have a fantastic purse collection and have loved watching it grow, mostly lovely gifts over the years from my husband. I currently have a closet full of purses that are too small or impractical to fit a diaper or sippy cup in, and so they are on hold for future years.
Have a question or a comment? Email me! I also love to read comments left on posts, so feel free to leave me a note!

I'm more of a french toast girl but my little girl adores them and I make sure to make chocolate chip ones for her every weekend!
May 1, 2010 at 10:06 PMEvery Sunday in our house is buttermilk pancake day! In October we do pumpkin pancakes. I think you have to be suspicious of people who don't like pancakes. :o)
