My son! The Good Cook!
We started Saturday morning, by having coffee and watching The Pioneer Woman.
She was making egg sandwiches and Applesauce Pancakes.
That's all it took.......now,we were starving!
Do you realize what a treat it is, when your children cook for you?
Greg" "I'm going to make breakfast for everybody.
Do you have bacon, Ma?"
(he's the only one of our children who calls me Ma)
Me: "No. I used it this week."
So, off he went to the store and brought everything he needed for his breakfast treat.
How wonderful is this....going to the store in the early hours of a Saturday morning!
Oh yes please......egg sandwiches!
English muffins, bacon, eggs over easy and a sprinkling of cheddar cheese!
Perfecto!
And so......while darling son is making breakfast,
I decided that we would try the Applesauce Pancakes for Sunday morning.
I had just bought the MOST beautiful apples at Costco and what good timing to see this recipe!
Time to make the homemade applesauce!
Done! Let these simmer in the crockpot with sugar, cinnamon and a little water and
off we go for Saturday errands!
Sunday morning.......blend the applesauce for the pancakes!

Pancakes!
There are certain moments where the luring aroma of pancakes
cooking on the griddle just captivate my senses....
cooked to a golden brown, loaded with butter and real maple syrup!
The Darling was golfing and missed this heavenly breakfast!
Everyone agreed.....mmmmmmmm.....a moment of silence!

Sounds wonderful Estelle! How nice of your son to cook for you all!
