Puff Pancakes

Apple Variation

Not long after Derek and I got married my awesome Sister-in-law had this cookbook called "Managing your Meals". It is a cookbook that has a years worth of recipes in it as well as a shopping list for each week. I can't say that I did it for the whole year but I have some favorite recipes from this book. Often times with have breakfast food for dinner. Pancakes, bacon and eggs, waffles and Puff Pancakes which are cooked in the oven. Taelor loves them and often asks for them. They are tasty.
