There are few things that speak a happy Saturday morning to most individuals, but perhaps every individual would agree that pancakes are probably one thing that screams happy Saturday morning to any individual. My mother always had a great pancake recipe ready to make.
Growing up, one of the most exciting things to do on a Saturday morning with your family is to get up, after sleeping in for a while, and make pancakes with your family. There are many different types of pancakes you can make. If you are into taste, and not worried about calories, you can make your pancakes sugary and sweet with a lot of different topping choices. If you and your family are more concerned with calorie counting, there are a lot of healthy options. For example, you can make whole wheat pancakes that are delicious and top them with some sweet fruit or some homemade jam. Another option is buckwheat pancakes. These offer a lot of fiber and whole grain nutrition, but are also enjoyable. There are many options for different kinds of pancakes, but the most important thing is to share them together with your family.
Another type of pancakes that are fun to make with your family are French style, crepes, or Russian style, blini. These are relatively healthy, but most importantly, are delicious and easy to make. You need few materials to make these type of pancakes and little time. You can top these pancakes with either savory types of toppings like meats, eggs and cheeses, or you can go the sweet route and top these pancakes with chocolate sauce, strawberries, sugar, bananas and chocolate, or any other type of fruit. Again, this is a great activity for the family.
If you are not interested in cooking, but are interested in having pancakes on the weekend, another great option is to go out for pancakes. There are a lot of different establishments that sell pancakes, such as your local family restaurant, or a local chain restaurant. This takes the pressure off of cooking a big breakfast, but allows you to have fun with your family and enjoy a nice conversation over a great meal.
There are many ways to bond with your family, but having a great time either cooking pancakes, or going out for pancakes on the weekend is probably one of the very best ways to bond and will create long lasting memories for you and everyone in your family.
