Shrove Tuesday - Pancake Day

Too my kids it's Pancake Day today, to me it's the day before Lent (Ash Wednesday), where I prepare my mind and being for the season of Lent. So what's Pancake Day, then...this is considered the day when you make and eat some foods with ingredients such as sugar, fat, eggs which are considered to be the last feast and eating them was traditionally restricted during the fasting period associated with Lent.

So we had pancakes for our dessert this evening, which is considered HEAVENLY by my younger daughter. We made our pancake batter, chilled it for 20mins, and then made our pancakes. To accompany them we had 2 fillings to chose from Lemon Cream with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice ontop, and Vanilla Bean Cream with sliced strawberries and a dusting of icing sugar & cinnamon. So much for my workout...I did use lowfat cream...!

Here's a peek of the pancakes...

Just fresh out of the pan...nice and hot!!

All gone...

So, as we enter the period Lent, which is a time of sacrifice for Jesus,  if you are struggling to sacrifice or give something up, then rethink your being to become more positive, more thoughtful, more appreciative, be more loving and most of all more giving to me that's giving up your old ways!!! Give thanks every moment for all that we take for granted and stay blessed!!
