Tuesday was yet another snowy day. Cold, boring, and as usual everyone was craving something. We were all ready for something to warm our cold bellies. At first they were just your ordinary pancakes. But as usual we had to put a twist to it and instead of drizzling chocolate on top of the pancakes, we decided to put the chocolate into the batter. Then for the extra zing, we added extra milk chocolate bits into the batter. And you can't have pancakes without syrup, but we couldn't go to the store, so we had to make our own. So we made some banana caramel sauce.
Call me crazy, but I actually had mine with sour cream on top. It balanced the banana caramel sauce and the choco-pancake's sweetness.
When I cook I usually don't measure. So now that my babies are all grown up, I started to cook all their favorite foods with measuring cups, spoons, pencil, and a notebook by my side, recording every step for future references. Dinner table is that special place where all the family gathers to exchange events of the day, to share special moments, and to make important announcement. And if good home cooked food is served on that table, these gatherings become even more precious and memorable.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE COMPLICTAED TO BE DELICIOUS
Monday we had a snow day. My daughter was already on her well deserved winter break. She worked very hard and was exempt from all her exams. She is a senior this year. And I'm bragging now, but I'm very proud mom for she is a straight A, honor student with AP classes.
