Sweet Treats
I'm not a big fan of Valentines Day. Never have been. Probably never will be. That doesn't mean that while everyone else is buying their girlfriends Jane Hollinger heart necklaces and their boyfriends...what DO people get boyfriends for V-Day?...I'm just gonna sit at home and boycott.
I'll probably wake up and make one of my favorite breakfasts of all time: strawberry chocolate chip pancakes with whip cream and (can't forget!) bacon on the side. Pancakes are the best cause you can put pretty much whatever you want in them (a quality I don't hesitate to experiment with) but for some reason nothing hits home like the fruity chocolatey goodness of strawberries and chocolate chips. The bacon on the side gives you the savory break you'll need from the sweetness, and let's face it, who doesn't love bacon? Who knows what I'll end up doing the rest of the day, but starting it off with a full stomach and satisfied palette is good enough for me. I do it not cause it's valentines day, but cause I deserve it, and so do you!
So if you wanna treat yourself, your friends, or your special someone, do it! My trick is to put the strawberries in the batter so they don't stick to the pan. Then you can drop the chocolate chips into the pancake while it's cooking. And butter...can't forget the butter...
Enjoy!
