"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!!
