Blueberry Pancakes

There is a certain satisfaction that comes from growing, harvesting, and then cooking with your own food. The original owners of our house were great gardeners. Our yard is literally bursting with the fruits of their labor. But, until this year, we've never reaped the benefits of their hard work.

Much of that has to do with a lack of awareness. Not being gardeners ourselves, we just had no idea what types of fruit trees and bushes we have growing. Kevin discovered that we have sour cherry trees and that they make good pie. We spent a good part of two weeks harvesting, pitting, freezing, and baking sour cherries.

Now our three blueberry bushes are ready for harvesting. We've been able to pick a handful or two each morning for cereal or pancakes.





Even Max agrees that blueberry pancakes with homegrown blueberries are more satisfying and delicious than those made with store bought blueberries.
