Strawberry Buttermilk Pancakes

Summer has begun in my household. The kids are home, we are sleeping in a little more (maybe pushing it to 7:15 a.m.), which means I am able to actually put a tasty, homemade breakfast on the table that does not come out of a box or from some kind of frozen Eggo container. While strawberries are in season and cheaper to purchase, I stock up. I try to think of recipes that I could incorporate strawberries into. I am not sure that most people are aware how easy it is to make homemade pancakes, comparing it to a store bought powder, add water kind of a mix. It is super easy and fast, and so much better tasting - honest! A plate of strawberry buttermilk pancakes, a cup of hot coffee and kids happily eating their meal makes this mommy one happy camper!
