The early morning is my least favorite time of day. I have never been a morning person. I remember grumpily stumbling downstairs as a little girl and sitting on the forced air heating grate in our old kitchen, knees pushed up under my oversized night shirt, trapping the hot air that blew up like a hot air balloon while my dad stood over the stove cooking scrambled eggs or eggy toast. I never wanted to move from that spot, not for breakfast or school or even to relieve my legs and bottom from the inevitable grate imprint on them!<\/p>\n

Not much has changed. I still stumble downstairs (coffee helps, thanks to Andrew) and feel grumpy, no matter the night of sleep. The boys need to be fed and lunches need to be packed. Backpacks and clothing and winter coats, hats, and gloves need to be located despite all my efforts at organizing them the night before. But if we are lucky, there is a batch of buttermilk pancakes in the freezer that simply needs to be thrown into the toaster for a delicious crispy breakfast. Of course, they are even better fresh, but I have found that making a big batch of these on a Sunday, then freezing the leftovers between parchment paper for the week works wonders for our morning routine. Enjoy with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for a decadent treat, or maple syrup, of course!<\/p>\n
