Blueberry Orange Pancakes

I recently discovered a Lemon Ricotta pancake recipe that was fabulous, so I decided to try a little added flavor of my own. Megan requested blueberry pancakes one morning and I thought it might be tasty to add a little orange to the mix! Indeed, it was quite good. I'm not much of a pancake fan, but when you add a little something here and a little something there, I find them tolerable! So here is my attempt at dressing up a pancake...

Take regular pancake batter, homemade or from a mix, add blueberries, the zest and juice of one orange, and Voila...you have Blueberry Orange Pancakes. I know, could it be any easier? Throw on some butter, powdered sugar, or blueberry syrup and you have yourself a delicious breakfast :-)

Pumpkin Pancakes

I had some leftover pumpkin and my family loves pancakes, so I decided to try out pumpkin pancakes. I must say, they were quite delicious. I don't usually care for pancakes, but with some fresh whipped cream, maple syrup, and a dash of nutmeg...YUM!!!
