Everyone get ready…..Fat Tuesday / Pancake Day is among us. That means a time to indulge in anything and everything that you shouldn’t in preparation for lent! For example, I ate a massive brownie for breakfast. Although a trip to New Orleans would have been much better!

The original idea behind Pancake Day was to use up all the fat in the house before Lenten abstinence. Folklore has it that parishioners, eager to reach church in time for the last ‘shriving’ or confession, would race through the streets still clutching their half-finished pancakes and you should do the same!!! So put your running shoes on and grab your skillet because here’s a look back on an awesome southern pancake recipe that you need to start right now! Our family loves it and coincidently it’s the recipe I use for my husband’s marathon running days.

Hope you have a wonderful and safe Fat Tuesday / Pancake Day and since I’m posting this a little late today, Mia had other plans for me this morning, cook them for dinner! It’s Pancake Day anything’s allowed.
