Let them eat pancakes...

It would be an understatement to say that the boys like pancakes. They LOVE them! We make a big batch of Swedish pancakes on the weekend, so they can have them throughout the week. We've been known to make pancakes in the shape of airplanes and hearts, and we even have a new griddle pan that makes them with zoo animal faces! We heard that our favorite of breakfast places -- Snooze -- was having a special event in celebration of National Pancake Day (which also coincided with Fat Tuesday). Say no more ... we were on the road for a random trip to Denver to feed our pancake obsession!

We ordered these pancakes du jour ...
  • Peanut Butter & Jelly (Luke's favorite ... it's the one with the ooey gooey swirl in the photo)
  • Sweet Potato (Reid's favorite)
  • Pear with Blue Cheese (Mom's favorite ... yes, it sounds funky but it was divine!)
  • Pig in a Blanket (Chocolate chip pancake with bacon folded in with a caramel sauce!)
There was another bonus to this special pancake promotion. Money from each pancake sold was donated to the Denver Urban Gardens, who has a mission to bring local urban gardens to Denver and educate children in local schools. This is also a cause near and dear to our hearts to support local farmers, so this Snooze visit was certainly a win-win!
