With Galentine’s Day falling on a Saturday and Valentine’s Day landing on a Sunday, there are two reasons to whip up a breakfast pancakes with a gal/val color story—the natural way, I might add!
All it takes is a small piece of a beet to turn ordinary pancakes into super pink tall stacks. If you’d like to take ’em up a notch, serve layered with cashew cream and red berries.
Brew a pot of coffee, then scatter shot glasses filled with creamer and maple syrup around the table for fun presentation.
Happy Gal/Valentine’s Day, everyone!
