Memorial Day Breakfast & Dinner with Mom, Sister and Grandson - Who Says Ya Gotta Cook Out?

My grandson and I went to spend the Memorial Day weekend at my sister's. Pancakes are one of my grandson's favorite foods (mine too) so, on the morning of Memorial Day I got up and made them for all of us.

Normally I would make them from the box of Bisquick (the best in my opinion) but, my sister had already bought the kind that is in a jug and you just add water.

I fry my pancakes in butter so when we eat them we do not add butter on top of them, only syrup.

The only syrup that I eat anymore is Log Cabin because they do not add High Fructose Corn Syrup to their recipe. I tried some 100% maple syrup recently and it just doesn't taste the same. I guess I am just too used to the "fake" maple flavor.

These pancakes were very good and, by the way, we did have scrambled eggs with these.

For dinner we had decided to have parmesan crusted talapia baked in the oven with baked sweet potatoes, baked potatoes, corn on the cob, some pineapple and strawberries and, for dessert it was, chocolate eclairs and apple cake that my mom had made.

 I just realized that no one had the strawberries and pineapple on their plate. I did get a photo of them though. I never thought that these two would be good together but, they were absolutely delicious!

Now that I am looking at these photos, I am thinking, "why didn't I have some of this fruit on the plate with the cake and eclair?" That would have been really good, I'm sure. Well, next time:)

Now it is time for dessert, YUMMY! My mom's apple cake along with a chocolate eclair is SO very good!

There's Kevin above eating one of his favorite desserts. He was in his glory, hahaha!

As you can see by the above video, Kev is in his glory with that chocolate eclair! Kevin is such a blessing and a joy to have around.

Well, as you can see, we enjoyed our Memorial Day dinner without even going outside, hahaha! Not that there's anything wrong with going outside, now. I have spent many a Memorial Day outside cooking or at a park cooking. It's just that sometimes, it's easier to stay in and cook a meal.

Happy cooking!
