Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Sometimes time just gets away from you. I've always been a busy person. Not necessarily hectic, run all around the place type busy, but busy. I like side projects and lots of things going on that I can be involved in, but the month of October just got away from me. Full time job, trying to launch a new business, wedding, travel, foster kids and a major professional certification exam.


Whew. It was kind of crazy. Which is why this is only the second post of the month. But it's a pancake recipe. And who doesn't love pancakes? I even threw in some pumpkin and chocolate chips to make it all "fall"ish. Yeah, I know. It's stretching it but they were really good. So go make them, and forgive me. I've got some great stuff planned to share with you for Thanksgiving and I think that will make up for it.

As you start thinking about Thanksgiving, what are the dishes that you rely on a family recipe for and which ones are you willing to try something new for? What kind of recipes would you like to see more of?
