Sometimes it is just the simplest things in life that can bring so much joy to a child’s life. In B’s case, this morning it was his bubbles. It is really such a heart warming experience to watch your child get so excited over bubbles. It makes me think to slow down in my own life and to try and enjoy these things too. Luckily he rubbed off on me and we both blew bubbles and had some funny laughs. I eventually made my way back into the Airstream as he continued blowing his bubbles so I could prepare breakfast.
I picked up the most beautiful and sweet deep red strawberries from our local market to prepare a strawberry pancake recipe I thought up. I was so happy that my recipe turned out exactly as I had hoped. It was again, simple and delicious and B and hubby ate every last morsel.
For the recipe, I used my blueberry pancake recipe I made while were on vacation in Tofino, BC. The recipe is here and the only difference was that instead of a handful of blueberries, I added a handful (and a little more) of sliced strawberries. I also sliced a vanilla bean pod open and scraped out the seeds and added that to the batter as well. I served it with hot maple syrup that I heated up in a small saucepan with more sliced strawberries. Delicious!
