Spicy Pancakes

Both our daughter and our son get sous-chef credit for this dinner. Our daughter eventually got much more involved in the kitchen than did her her little brother. Our son, being four, got distracted by a toy car. He ate well, though, as did we all.
The big snow yesterday turned out to be not that big at all. We stayed inside all morning anyway—more due to the cold. Even when Chris and the kids did venture outside for afternoon sledding, it was a short-lived adventure.

Since it was so cold, comfort food was most welcome for dinner. There is not much that is more comforting to our family than pancakes. We put a twist on our usual buttermilk pancakes, making them Mexican style. Despite the Mexican flavor, the kids had chocolate chips in theirs.

Our daughter seems to be getting more involved with cooking every week. She measured and combined ingredients for the pancakes. She even flipped them all by herself. She was very pleased with herself, as well she should be.
