Wow, can you believe 4 posts in 2 days from me? But I just learned today is pancake day!  I haven’t heard of pancake day since I was a kid to be honest & only found out it was today from Tastespotting’s Twitter.

I suppose pancake day is just like any other day for me since I’ve been eating pancakes like crazy lately. Every few days is “pancake day” for me. They’re a cheap treat & it’s all too often we’re having midnight pancake feasts in our household (no wonder there’s an extra jiggle to my jog these days).

A couple o’ weeks ago I tried making crepes for some variation. Strange, I hadn’t made crepes before, I don’t know why. Now I’m all crepe-crazy & have made them a few times since, trying to perfect the thin batter & flipping the darn things without tearing them. I’m far from perfect still..

So, my favourite thing to do with the finished product is make cheese blintzes. I only ate cheese blintzes for the first time last year at a casino smorgasbord in Vegas & instantly fell in love. I love anything with cream cheese.

I’ve been mixing it with jam to make strawberry cheese blintzes.

Then I just spoon a big blob on the crepe & fold little pillows.

… I know, I’m getting slack with the photos lately. Notice all my photos are of the cooking process & then no pics of the final product? Yep, at that stage my hunger usually takes over & before I know it there’s an empty plate in front of me again. I’ll make an effort to be more disciplined & take photos …while my food goes cold & soggy.
