RECIPE BOX | pancake casserole

A big thank you to my friend, Mista for this recipe.  I love that you make it the day before then stick it in the oven for 25 minutes the next morning.  Its easy and delicious.  Just don't forget to have maple syrup on hand or you'll be running to the grocery when it opens first thing in the morning (like I did!)

{recipe of the week} Pumpkin Pancakes

My mom made me these while we were home visiting one weekend a few weekends back.  I am still thinking about them!  I have so many recipes so when I copy down a new one I have to be sure its worth while.  This one is.  With so many house guests arriving this time of year make some of these ahead of time and pull them out of your freezer!  Now use up the rest of your pumpkin and get to baking.
