I made this recipe on Tuesday night.
Last night, a friend, who had seen the picture that I had posted of it on Instagram, texted me to ask if I knew that today was National Pancake Day.
I did not! {I am not quite that organized}
And this is how timely posts get written.
Purely by accident.
Dinner in our home is an ongoing challenge. Just like your home, I’m sure. Some days, the kids will eat everything I put in front of them. Some days, Madeline takes one look at it and opts out with a request for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Some days, something they have eaten countless times before, they suddenly despise. Some days, they beg me to make things I didn’t think they liked. And SOME days, everyone eats everything and we chat about our days and dinner is a dream.
I am a fan of breakfast for dinner. It’s easy, unexpected, and the crowd of little people go wild. The Ex was never a fan, unless it included steak. Steak made everything better.
So when I saw this recipe for a Nordic Pancake Cake with Berries and Cream, I thought it would be a fun way to turn dinner upside down a bit and ensure clean plates.
I was half right.
As soon as they saw what I was up to, the kids fell over themselves to help me, with one flipping the pancakes, and another stacking the pancakes and smoothing the berry sauce in between.
And, of course, there were pictures.
Because if this isn’t a beautifully fun dinner worthy of a photo or two, I don’t know what is.
