Poetry

If ever there was a poetic fruit, pears are it. Possibly pomegranates, strawberries, peaches, grapes, and certainly mangoes. Well, there goes the plug for my poetic pear.

Crêpes

This recipe has been a very frequent request from my daughter ever since she had it with Aunt Lizzy.  Of course my sweet sister-in-law always makes delightful treats while we stay there and makes me look like a bad cook. :)  (At least in my nine-year-old's eyes)  Thanks Lizzy!

Good Morning cake!

Lizzy!!! I could have an entire section of just Lizzy recipes!  (Although I have not published some of the secret recipes of her family...sorry for all of you!)  This cinnamon-topped cake is divine in the mornings with a little drizzle of melted butter.  Oh my gosh!  My mouth is watering as I type.  I guess it's time for some more Good Morning Cake. (Thus named because none of us drink coffee, and for the kids it just sounds better)

Peach Syrup

Anticipating my mom's warm peach syrup on top of buttered waffles or pancakes is one of my favorite weekend morning memories.  I think my mom invented this recipe as a way to utilize all of her canned peaches and to stretch the food budget for our large family.  It's still my favorite waffle topping. Try it with the Super Fluffy Waffles, and expect peach pieces in this syrup (my favorite part).  It's also good on vanilla ice cream.  And the left overs are perfect for a dump peach cobbler.  Play with the quantities to suit your tastes.

Super Fluffy Waffles

My sister shared this recipe with me nearly 13 years ago, and it is still my favorite waffle recipe (and the only one I use).  These waffles are just perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  I'll admit, I make them more often for dinner than for breakfast.  They are especially delicious with the Peach Syrup recipe that I grew up with.

German Pancakes

My oldest daughter loves these pancakes.  I love that they are so easy to make. They are a light, buttery, egg-y breakfast food that can handle sweet or savory toppings.  Our favorite toppings are strawberries and whipped cream.  My sweet sister-in-law Lizzy, my mom and Andrea H are to thank for this recipe.
