Food Thoughts from my dad

"When you make something in the kitchen, love what you make and who you make it for, it always tastes better!"



My dad lived this reality to a tee...he loved to make breakfast for us most mornings of the week. We had anything from scrambled eggs and toast, french toast, oatmeal, fried eggs, pancakes or cereal. I can still remember the joy he felt when he would make Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes, even when we got older! He loved me from the inside out and I knew that would never change. Somehow you knew that he was plating up a bit of his heart along with those pancakes, so even if they were so thick you could barely cut them, you ate them in love! I will always miss his passion on a plate!

Try this one if you haven't already: peanut butter and jelly pancake sandwich

We often got leftover pancakes in our lunch used as the bread of a sandwich. The first time I came to school with a peanut butter and jelly pancake sandwich, I will never forget the look on my friends faces. "What is that?", but then if they knew my dad it all made sense. I will say when I was sent with a peanut butter and CHEESE sandwich, they started asking questions. The best was when I was actually able to convince some of my friends to try it and surprisingly, most of my friends would agree that it was GOOD.

If you are REALLY adventurous: peanut butter and CHEESE pancake sandwich

Miss you dad!!
