Yes I made these pancakes from scratch. I don’t do the boxed pancake thingy. No. Once upon a time…..a long long time ago… when I didn’t know any better, I used to use the pancake from the box and I thought it was banging……..UNTIL …..I learned how to make it myself. It’s so damn easy….I could kick myself for all the money I wasted on prepackaged products.  However, it’s never to late to learn…..and so I’ve learned and now make them in all different   flavors.

I don’t even buy that nasty pancake syrup either. And to think I loved it once upon a time. You just don’t know what you’re missing when you choose not to be adventurous….or even try new things for that matter. Thank God I have a culinary fascination. Thank God I choose to eat healthier. Thank God I’m curious to KNOW what’s in my food.  My culinary passion has me floored over and over again. I mean….food is so freaking good! Who the heck wants to drink that awful bottle of corn syrup when you can cook your own fruits on the stove top and create a bad ass fruit compote? I’m so glad I know how to cook restaurant quality meals….and not just any restaurant…..FIVE STAR restaurant quality meals.

Well, these pancakes were so fluffy and d’luscious that I decided to share the recipe with you. The spinach  frittata and a few slices of bacon did it justice. I was doing the happy dance when I was done with this….actually no….I did the sleepy dance, yeah it took me straight to bed. But I ain’t mad. I woke up and did it all over again.

Now, go ahead, scroll down….and enjoy that recipe…..because I damn sure did.
