Albeit chaotic, I morbidly enjoy term time, week-day breakfasts at home. It’s the only meal we have together as a family at home and although it can take much energy sometimes, I like to make it extra special for everyone. I lay out the table, light out candles and often have calm music in the background (possibly as a strategy to quiet down the sibling rivalry). I like our kids to go to school in the morning feeling fulfilled and worthy and, following my Syrian grandma’s feeding initiatives, the kitchen provides the a good base to do so, acknowledging, as a good the good psychotherapist I believe I am, all the associated metaphors.
This baked pancake is proving to be a favourite, specially when time is limited and we can’t do them in the more traditional way. The little ones ‘frost’ them with cream cheese whilst we like them with avocado or sauté mushrooms on the side. Enjoy!
