@Rob O. – I definitely can understand the “takes me back to being young” thing. I remember reading the paper with my Grandpa in the mornings over coffee & breakfast.

@Laura – “much less cost than the four of us going out!” – yeah… I can believe that. Probably cost less than 10 bucks. And it was better for you, and portioned how you like it.

@anita – griddles rock the house. When we go see family and they are burning bacon in a pan… I think – how did we live without our griddle? Geeze. Not to mention… burgers on there are awesome, pancakes of course & anything else griddle worthy. Definitely worth the money.

I am the queen of breakfast, for dinner. We love it over here. I picked up my skills making breakfast with my Dad every weekend.

Up until Christmas I had been making those pancakes one at a time on one of those square stove top griddles. Crazy right?

Justin Finally got the hint and got me one foe Christmas. I think I only had to say things like “there’s got to be a better way, and wouldn’t it be nice to get one of those…” a million times before he got it.

I Use it all the time. Now that I have it we have been getting real creative on pancakes. I should post some of those Ihop inspired pancake recipes.

My husband is the one in our house that always wants to go out to breakfast; the kids and I don’t. Today we had chocolate chip pancakes and turkey bacon. Much less cost than the four of us going out! Another plus is that I doulbe the recipe for pancakes so we have some for during the week.

I’ve always liked the idea of trotting off to IHOP for breakfast on the weekend, but now more than ever, getting out of the house before 10 a.m. on the weekend is extremely tough. So since becoming parents last year, we’ve forged a new weekend tradition.

Dede doesn’t cook often – she’s a bit intimidated by it – but each Saturday & Sunday, she whips up whole wheat pancakes while I grind & brew some coffee, nuke the aforementioned “ready made” bacon, and prep the table. Then we relax at the table, eating flapjacks, sipping coffee, reading the paper, and generally being lazy.

It reminds me very much of when i was a little kid and weekend breakfasts were usually Dad’s domain. Seeing Dad in the kitchen was such an odd thing that those weekend brunches were something special.
