Wake up every morning with the thought that something wonderful is about to happen. - Unknown
Today was my children's first official day off school. So, as a special way to kick of the summer months, I made a common southern breakfast....Hoe Cakes, Johnny Cakes or simply Cornmeal Pancakes. They say that these were George Washington's favourite breakfast food. They are so delicious...I hope that you would give them a try. And most importantly... the only noise I heard from my children this morning was....mmm.... and.... these are so nice....
I think we are off to a good begining of summer....
