We buy ours by the gallon from upstate NY. My dad grew up tapping his own syrup, and he passed his good taste on to me. Hehehe. This is why Cracker Barrel is my fav place for pancakes…they use the good stuff.

Easy as can be! I bought an animal shapes pancake skillet at Target.

I am from upstate NY, but now live in Texas. I remember tapping our trees and boiling the sap to make “real” syrup. My kids love it when my parents bring us the “real” thing (and I do too.)

Congratulations Lana and Dave! My parents and I just saw the photos. Charlene called today and told us Hope had been born. We are so thankful, with you, that the Lord answered prayer for a safe, full-term delivery. Wish we lived closer and could see her in person. We send all our best wishes that the next few months will be a smooth transition for you with all the care of Carmen as well as a new baby now. I’m sure Lauren will be a big helper. She looks so much like you! We enjoyed the photo of her by the snowman.

Those pancakes are so cute. How’d you do that?
So happy to hear from you. And so happy for you I just can’t stand it.
I’m watching closely for more pics of Hope and the girls : )

I thought about not posting this. It seems rather insignificant in the scheme of things. But, I couldn’t resist posting a good food picture!

Well, I didn’t do all that on Saturday. Just the pantry and pancake part!

Yep! From Trader Joe’s. Lauren won’t touch the fake stuff…she says only maple syrup is pancake syrup!

No wonder Hope came that night – - – look at all you did on Saturday!!!!!

And, yes, that is real maple syrup – - Dave is from New York and “real” New Yorkers (especially “upstate” NYers) would only use “real” maple syrup – - – -
