My sister is a busy mom of the two cutest and smartest little girls out there, so you can imagine she is busy! She sent along this recipe and another that I will post this week, to share with you all! Enjoy!
Nothing gets me excited like the idea of a big breakfast- pancakes, bacon, sausages, eggs, the whole package deal. Growing up, our dad was serious about breakfast. Special days and most weekends he got busy scrambling eggs, shredding cheddar, sizzling bacon and flipping the pancakes, all so that his ladies three could enjoy the fruits of his labour. Starting the day out so deliciously, always made it feel special, which is probably why I love to make the same sorts of breakfasts for my own family. Unfortunately, since my daughters are only three and almost two, they have yet to appreciate the goodness of the scrambled egg, bacon, pancake combo and more often than not, just desire the pancakes…with double syrup, of course. So for now, I must content myself with making these banana delights until the day arrives when the rest of my family finally starts to beg for the “big breakfasts” that I so fondly remember. — Kellie
