My favourite part of the weekend is to have a pancake breakfast with the one I love. We have developed our little routine where I mix the batter and he cooks the pancakes. I had my with blackberries and extra almonds and Oscar had his with raspberries. Everybody who had tried these pancakes wouldn’t believe that they are a diet food (I have been following a Flat Belly Diet for the last 3 years). One of my friends commented that they tastes like something served in a very upscale spa. Enjoy!
