My favorite was of course those big, white and fluffy pancakes, topped with that syrup in the shape of the old lady. Huh? Ya, I know.. I also grew up with candy corn and peeps as a staple. You would never guess.
Well, Yesterday being mothers day, I woke up and thought about my mom and "her" pancakes. Big and fluffy was my main goal. Since, I don't even know where to find bisquick at the grocery store... really.. no clue. And my mom is not around to just "add water" to the mix so I made do.

Mom, I miss you and think of you everyday. I know your watching over and protecting my family. You are our angel. I wish you were here to talk to, play with and hold your grandbabies and of course make me pancakes. For now, I'll just make do.

i said that i don't know the story behind losing your mom, but i am so sorry she is no longer here. i can't imagine how hard that is.. but i am so glad you have two cute kiddos to love to pieces.
and i love coconut flour pancakes! such awesome texture.
that was the gist of it.
What a great tribute to your Mom :). I think my Mom made us bisquick as well. I prefer the homemade version now too- and coconut is a great add in. And may I also add, I used to be a peeps addict too!
