Pancake Topping Ideas

As you know, one of the things I am learning to do is be creative with my food. In the last couple of months, we have been eating pancakes a lot for breakfast. And, as with anything, if you don't switch things up a bit, even pancakes can get boring.

This last weekend we celebrated my oldest daughter's 13th birthday, and she wanted me to make her a cake with strawberries. Since we bought the ingredients for it a few weeks early, I got frozen strawberries instead of fresh, because I wanted them to last longer. Well, lo and behold I got the wrong cake mix, and instead of taking it back to the store I made the cake for a Children's Bible Study snack, and we bought her a new cake at Costco... So guess what we had left over? We had a tub of frozen strawberries, and one morning I put them on my pancakes.

It was like the clouds parted and the angels came down from heaven singing hallelujah! Now I know this is something simple, but for me it was huge! It was another way to make pancakes - and since we eat them a lot, it was important :) So today I am sharing a list of a few more topping ideas for pancakes I have found. I hope you enjoy it, and remember...whatever area of your life you're in - don't stay in a rut!
