Mini Peanut Butter Pancakes

Always good to have a new spin on things. Mini peanut butter pancakes are easy and kid friendly.

I like the mini peanut butter pancakes because they are fun and easy to make. Another thing I like about them is that they are so sweet that you don’t need syrup because the powdered sugar from the peanut butter dust makes them so sweet. They are nice and small so you end up eating …

Eating is always the best part. One piece of regualr French toast, one hole in one and the hole. Add sausage and some fruit and you have a complete breakfast.

This is another recipe that we took to the next level. My mom learned how to make these from her friend’s dad. They called it egg in a pooka which means hole in Hawaiian. My dad and I thought to make them out of French Toast and make the name a golf term. I like …

But sometimes you got to get creative. One snack you can make is mac and peas where you put peas in mac-n-cheese. This is a yummy …
