Happy National Pancake Day!


Spring may not be "officially" here yet, but I certainly have decorated for Easter and I'm having my pancakes on some springy dishes! I actually found these at Kroger last year. They are just too cute!
 I'm sure on National Pancake Day there are ALL sorts of pancakes out there, with fruit and cream or chocolate and nuts and whipped cream, but since I'm a minimalist (only with my pancakes) AND I happen to be on the Keto diet, I prefer the plain ol' pancakes and syrup. Only these are low carb pancakes and Choc Zero syrup, which is thick and delicious and you wouldn't know it's sugar free. My will is usually pretty weak when it comes to pancakes, so I'm glad I can have these!
Now if only I could **will** Spring to be here, quicker!!

Springtime and Royal Albert Polka Rose

I love Springtime. Yeah, I know, it's only February (that's why I have Valentine cookies!) but in the southern state I reside in, Spring is right around the corner. And I've fallen in love with "Polka Rose" by Royal Albert. 
The whole line is Suuuper cute:
But I prefer the mint green and roses. I got the whole set, including egg tots and cereal bowls I had to special order in the U.K. But what a fun pattern for those wanting to drink their cuppa on some posh dishes! And so pretty. Aren't they? :-)
