GRANPA CARES ABOUT FOOD ALLERGIES

I can eat anything but two of granpa's grandchildren have food allergies. Thus vigilance for food prepared at home. Buying products that are peanut and nut free for them. If cooking seafood or eating walnuts, being careful all the remnants are out of the house and counters cleaned well. Barb won't buy any nuts at Christmas now. Reading labels is our new mantra. Being aware of allergies is not hard work. It is just dedication to protect not only my grandchildren but anyone with allergies. I am allergic to Kiwi. Go figure!

MAKING PANCAKES CANADIAN STYLE

Pancakes are a very Canadian food to make. Since Barb and I celebrated our 41st anniversary this week on May 15th, I thought it would be fun to show I really did love to cook.

Cooking for my sweetie on our Hawaiian honeymoon May 20, 1971.

Now I make pancakes for my little grandchildren.

Of course, the best way is to use the mix from an Aunt Jemima box! You really did not think I had an Italian recipe for it, did you? The grandkiddies like her syrup as well. Barb prefers good old fashioned Canadian maple syrup.

It is fun to make the little pancakes. Sometimes I try to make shapes for the kids. As everyone knows, I am still a kid at heart!

Big pancakes, little pancakes- always taste good- alone or add your favourite ham, bacon or sausage! With a good cup of coffee or a glass of milk for the younger crowd!
