I partnered with Phil’s Fresh Eggs to bring you this recipe, but as always, all ideas and opinions are my own.
One of the most fascinating things about getting married is suddenly realizing that not everything you grew up with is totally normal. HA! Not that you ever thought it was….but honestly, there are so many little things that Jorden’s family did differently than mine….and around the holidays, there always seem to be even more.
Things like Christmas Eve traditions (my family usually went to midnight mass, Jorden’s family celebrated with a family night and tons of appetizers), whether or not we got Christmas stockings (no for me, yes for him), rules of present opening (in my family we all took turns, in Jorden’s family it was more of a free for all), and…..St. Nick!
In my family, on the night of December 5th we would all get out our LONGEST sock and lay it out on the kitchen table….then wait for St. Nick to fill it while we slept. The next morning we would wake up to find fruit, nuts, candy, and little presents that had been left for us. It was like the first taste of Christmas – a little bonus – and always left us so excited for what was to come.
Even though Jorden’s family didn’t celebrate St. Nick (Santa filled their stockings on Christmas) we decided to continue the St. Nick tradition for our kids. And….today was the special day! So, of course, our kids woke up out of their minds with excitement, not wanting to bother with getting dressed or eating breakfast or any of the usual things that happen on a weekday morning. Nope, they just rushed downstairs and ran straight to their stockings. The loot? New cozy slippers, shirts, snacks, and candy. And four gingerbread houses waiting to be decorated.
Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes are perfect for Breakfast
I’ve always been a big believer that it’s all about the little things….and mornings like today make me feel it even more. The only thing that would have made this morning better? A big plate of these Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes. Because, honestly, the ONLY thing better than waking up to a stack of homemade pancakes is waking up to presents. Am I right? And these Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes would have been the perfect addition. Made with lemon juice, lemon zest, poppy seeds, and Phil’s Fresh Egg Whites, these pancakes are light and fluffy and full of lemony goodness. And when you top them with a sweet lemon poppy seed glaze? Well, it might as well be Christmas morning! Or at least a very close second.
