Great post Tammi! We enjoy breakfast for dinner once a week! This busy mom, makes chocolate chip pancakes so often, I never have to make cc cookies now! It is an easy and fast and economical way to feed a large crowd too- If my kids have their friends over for dinner, most times they can all find something they like when I serve breakfast for the meal, and there is enough to go around!
