Carrie’s Sweet Life

I have discovered something this fall, I actually like pumpkin. I have tasted pumpkin pie a few times and never liked it. And just assumed that since I didn’t like pumpkin pie I didn’t like pumpkin. But I have slowly realized I like things with pumpkin in them.

After going to I-hop yesterday and them having pumpkin pancakes but me opting for the regular pancakes, I decided I would make Adam and I some pumpkin pancakes for breakfast. I searched the web for an awesome recipe but nothing really jumped at me, so I kinda just went at it and gave it a try. These were awesome for a fall morning, or any morning.
