Banana Pancakes by Angela Roberts

My intention today was to bring you a post that was Spinach Tiger fit, light and healthy. But then I had a better idea.

Remember back when you were a child and you were eating your mom’s food. If you were lucky like me, your mother was a good cook, who cooked from scratch the old fashioned way with whole, fresh food in abundance. This is the kind of food that is not really fattening in and of itself because it doesn’t come in a box or a bag with a zillion preservatives, mystery chemicals and hidden sugar calories. The only reason it could be fattening is that it’s so good, you go back for two or three helpings. Back in those days, the food was real, delicious and served on a plate at a table without cell phones. People were not so fat.

I thought I would serve you up some of those good old fashioned comfort foods today. I stand by my philosophy that if you make this food the right way, one serving will be enough to feel happy and satisfied. And, if you must go back for seconds, just take a run around the block.

I make the above banana pancakes frequently adding a warmed nutella topping. This is the kind of Sunday morning breakfast kids will remember all their life and I discovered the recipe at Sophisticated Gourmet linked below.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there who have poured their heart and soul and good nutrition into their children. It’s funny because many of the bloggers below are not yet moms (some never will be because they are guys), but I think you see that someone wonderful influenced them in the kitchen.

Tell me, what dish do you most remember your mother for?
