Leftovers!

Like most people who wind up doing the cooking, there are days when you just need a break, or alternately, there are days when you look in the fridge and realize…”man, this is getting jam-packed full with leftovers”.

Enter…Sunday’s around our place.  While Sunday lunch has been set aside for Sunday Pancakes, this past week we had some of those leftover (that rarely happens) so it was time to figure out how to burn through some flapjacks and clear up some shelf space.

My wife says this isn’t a ‘blog-worthy’ recipe.  I disagree.  This entire blog is about recipes that an everyday ordinary guy who’s been out of the kitchen for years can manage to make.  Some are big winners and require some skills…and some are, plain and simply, Leftover Pancake Pizza.

Leftover Pancake Pizza

• leftover pancakes
• pizza sauce
• shredded cheese
• toppings to taste

Put your pancakes on a cookie sheet (no toppings, just the pancakes)

Set your oven to ‘broil’.  Put the cookie sheet in for a few minutes until the upward facing side of your pancake is getting a bit crunchy/crusty to the touch.

Take cookie sheet out of oven.  Flip pancakes over.

Add sauce, toppings and cheese.

Put back in oven until the cheese gets nice and melty.

Enjoy.

It’s quick, fun, and the kids loved ’em.  You could always toss leftover pancakes in the toaster and put some jam on ’em, but….c’mon.  It’s pizza!  And….pancakes!

Food can be fun and creative.  So can your leftovers.  Enjoy!
