Celebrate National Pancake Week

National Pancake Week (February 19-25, 2024) is a celebration of one of the most beloved breakfast foods around the world – pancakes! This annual event takes place during the third week of February and is a time for people to indulge in their favorite pancake recipes and honor the history and cultural significance of this delicious dish.

Pancakes, also known as flapjacks, hotcakes, or griddlecakes, have been a staple in many cultures for centuries. The earliest versions of pancakes can be traced back to Ancient Greece and Rome, where they were made with wheat flour, olive oil, honey, and curdled milk. They were often served at religious festivals and were considered a symbol of good luck and prosperity.

As time passed, pancakes evolved and became a popular dish in many countries, each with its own unique twist. In France, they are known as crepes and are often filled with savory ingredients like cheese and ham. In Japan, they are called okonomiyaki and are made with cabbage, meat, and seafood. And in America, pancakes are typically made with buttermilk and served with maple syrup and butter.

Okonomiyaki (Osaka-Style Japanese Pancakes) Recipe 

The origin of National Pancake Week can be traced back to the 1950s when the National Restaurant Association declared it as a week-long celebration to boost breakfast sales. Since then, it has become an annual tradition for many restaurants, cafes, and households to celebrate this versatile and delicious food. 

During National Pancake Week, people come together to share their favorite recipes, try out new variations, and compete in pancake-eating contests. Many restaurants offer special deals and promotions on their pancake dishes, making it the perfect time to try out different flavors and toppings.

Pancake Eating Contest (youtube.com)

Aside from being delicious and versatile, pancakes are also a nutritious breakfast option. They are a good source of carbohydrates, which give us energy and contain essential vitamins and minerals like calcium, iron, and potassium. With the right toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, and yogurt, pancakes can be a well-rounded and satisfying meal.

Whether you prefer your pancakes thin and crispy or thick and fluffy, there is no denying that this humble dish brings people together and brings joy to many. National Pancake Week is a time to celebrate the history, culture, and deliciousness of pancakes. So gather your friends and family, fire up the griddle, and enjoy this sweet and savory treat in all its glory!

Pancakes are a classic breakfast favorite that are loved by people of all ages. But if you're tired of the same old flat and dense pancakes, then it's time to switch things up with this delicious fluffy pancake recipe. These pancakes are light, airy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious - the perfect way to start your day.

This fluffy pancake recipe is sure to become a family favorite and will have everyone asking for more. So next time you're craving pancakes, skip the boxed mix and give this easy and delicious homemade recipe a try. Your taste buds will thank you!

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 ¼ cups milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
3. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter as this can result in dense pancakes.
4. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
5. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the pan, leaving enough space between each pancake.
6. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancake.
7. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or cooking spray to the pan as needed.
9. Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Tips:

• For even fluffier pancakes, separate the egg yolk from the white and beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Then fold it into the batter before cooking.
• Make sure to use fresh baking powder as old baking powder can result in flat pancakes.
• Do not press down on the pancakes while cooking as this will result in dense and flat pancakes.
• For a fun twist, you can add chocolate chips, blueberries, or mashed bananas to the batter.
• Leftover pancakes can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or microwave.

Fondue Menu for Valentine's Day

Get ready to dip into deliciousness this month as we celebrate National Fondue Month!

Fondue, the hot melted cheese is a dish that has been enjoyed for centuries in various parts of the world, but it has gained immense popularity in recent times. This deliciously rich and indulgent dish has become a staple at dinner parties, and it is not hard to see why. The word 'fondue' comes from the French word 'fondre,' which means 'to melt.' And that is precisely what makes this dish so irresistible - the creamy, melted cheese that is perfect for dipping a variety of delectable foods.

Valentine's Day is a special occasion for my family, one that we look forward to every year. While some families may opt for a fancy dinner at a restaurant or a romantic getaway, my family has a unique tradition that we have been following for years - we celebrate Valentine's Day with fondue.

Here are some intriguing facts about fondue:

1. Figugegl - As part of its fondue promotion, the phrase "Fondue isch guet und git e gueti Luune," which translates to "Fondue is good and creates a good mood," was coined and formed as "FIGUGEGL."
2. Watch the bread - According to tradition, if a person loses a piece of bread while dipping it into the fondue pot, he or she buys drinks for everyone else.
3. Manners are important - Double-dipping and eating straight from the dip-coating fork isn’t permitted in fondue etiquette.
4. Sip and dunk - Genevans only chug hot tea or chilly white wine with their fondue since anything else will likely cause indigestion.
5. The all-important sides - Fondue is usually served with cucumbers, sweet onions, and crisped meats in Switzerland.

 Whether you're celebrating with your significant other, friends, or family, there are endless ways to make this day memorable. From traditional gestures like exchanging gifts and going out to dinner, to unique and creative ways to express your love, here are a few ideas to help you make this Valentine's Day one to remember. So, get ready to spread some love and joy with these suggestions for a perfect Valentine's Day celebration.

We played this little dice game on Valentine's Day last year. We love it and it's fun to win all those candy kisses. You can download this for FREE here Valentine’s Day Candy Dice Game - Cupcake Diaries.

Sassy Silver Sisters: Hey Valentine "I Dig You" Craft Idea

When it comes to creating the perfect fondue, there are a multitude of cheese options to choose from, but for an all-around delightful experience, look no further than fontina, Gruyère, and gouda. These three cheeses bring their unique flavors, textures, and melting qualities to the fondue pot, creating an irresistible culinary delight.

The following fondue recipes are going on our table this year.

Total Time30minutes mins

Course: Appetizer

Cuisine: American

Keyword: Appetizer, Cheese Fondue, spinach artichoke dip

 Servings: 6  Calories: 184kcal  Author: Erica Walker

Ingredients

·         1 1/2 cups vegetable broth

·         1 cup fresh spinach loosely packed, chopped

·         3/4 cup artichoke hearts chopped

·         1 teaspoon minced garlic

·         7 ounces Butterkäse cheese grated - if you can't find this, you can substitute Farmer's Cheese or Romanian Cream Cheese

·         5 ounces Parmesan cheese blend grated - be sure to find one that has the first two ingredients as parmesan and Fontina cheese

Instructions

1. Heat vegetable broth in a fondue pot or similar cooking pot. 
2. When hot (do not bring to a boil) add spinach, artichoke hearts, and garlic and mix well. Continue to cook until the spinach and artichoke hearts soften.
3. Combine the Butterkäse and Parmesan/Fontina grated cheeses, and add to the broth a little bit at a time, stirring constantly. 
4. Continue melting a stirring until you have added all the cheese and the consistency is smooth and creamy.  
5. Serve with French bread pieces, steamed vegetables, cooked meat, chips, pretzels, or crackers.

Substitution:

1. Fake Butterkäse Cheese (Keep in mind, the fake really isn't quite as good as the real Butterkäse. Only use this recipe if you can't find it anywhere): 
2. Mix 1/2 brick (4oz) of cream cheese with 1/4 cup of buttermilk and 1/2 tablespoon of sour cream.

Notes

*Please do not double or triple this recipe. The cheese is expensive and you will have a big ball of cheese that won't melt. If you want to prepare this for a large group, prepare one batch at a time.
