My husband and I recently worked out a deal where I do my long-runs on Saturday mornings and he does his on Sunday mornings. This means I'm now in charge of Sunday morning pancake breakfast for the girls. They expect pancakes on Sunday and they expect heart-shaped ones because that's what daddy makes.

Well, try as I might, I just couldn't master the heart-shaped pancake mold thingy.

For some reason we got on the topic at work and my boss told me that she just makes round pancakes and then uses a cookie cutter to cut the shapes out.

Ah ha! Why didn't I think of that?

So... here's what greeted the girls on Easter morning:

Cute, eh? (Yes..those are candy sprinkles on the egg pancakes -- I was trying to make them look like decorated Easter eggs).

The best part -- Mommy gets all the scrap pieces.
