Sweet Potato Pancakes
The Christmas season has arrived and with it all the wonderfulness including peace, love, joy and house guests. I find that a lot of the peace, love, and joy in our house depends greatly on how well I plan for guests this time of year. To maintain the peace, love, and joy I try to plan. However, I find that I focus a lot on planning special dinners only to realize after the guests have arrived, that I hadn’t planned any breakfasts.
Cereal, anyone?
Let’s face it, failing to plan for breakfast when guests are in town is kind of like getting the guest bedroom in tip-top shape only to neglect the bathroom. It’s a little disappointing. I don’t think that it needs to be hard, but I think making a breakfast that someone might not normally make for themselves is special and creates great memories. For example, someone might say, “Remember the sweet potato pancakes <insert your name here> made when we visited? They were so amazing!”
So, if you’re like me, and need to build your special breakfast repertoire try these sweet potato pancakes. I recommend making the batter the night before so all you have to do in the morning is cook the pancakes. That way it’s all so effortless, which is always a nice thing.
