Are you with me on that? Buttermilk Pancakes have a way of transporting me back to my childhood. Growing up, there wasn’t a single day where my bother and I could run off without a good breakfast in the morning or not come home to a healthy nutritious snack waiting for us. My mom made sure of that. Perhaps this is where my love and devotion to food comes from? Someone psych. eval. me? Even on days when we were running late for school, she’d chase us out into the car with a muffin of a granola bar just so we’d have something to keep us going until lunch.
