Helpful hint

My daughter has loved pancakes since her first bite...it's one of the foods she'll eat no matter how hungry she is. (I feed her a lot of these when she's sick).

The secret? frozen strawberry puree. I buy 4 boxes (or more) of strawberries when they get cheap...then puree them and cook them down a little and freeze them in ice cube trays.

One pancake (cut into squares with a pizza cutter) topped by one strawberry cube in the microwave (27 seconds in mine) and you have instant breakfast, or lunch, or dinner. (babies don't know the difference, honestly)

I used to make 5-6 at a time and keep some in the fridge for a quick nuke.
