Honestly, I am far from buying into the whole Valentine’s Day thing with greeting cards, gifts and over the top V-Day gestures.

I think it is commercialized and catered more towards high school crowd and teenagers. 😉 I say this because as a teenager, I was fascinated by the whole idea of gifts, chocolates and cards especially on my visit to any Archies or Hallmark store. It was later I realized that they strategically placed all these items so that you would spend more than you should.

But when you enter adulthood these things seem superficial and thus making something heart shaped was too cheesy and corny. Hehe.

My husband and I both love pancakes, and we haven’t had them in a long long time, so decided to make them in a V-Day fashion.

Since, it is a Sunday, what better way to surprise your loved one with a beautiful breakfast of STRAWBERRY PANCAKES!

However, I would strongly recommend getting fresh strawberries, I say this because I got frozen one’s covered in syrup and realized its just not the same.

Nevertheless, they still turned out to be yummy and cute <3

Serving Suggestions: You can layer each pancake with a tablespoon or more of whipped cream and add cut strawberries on top to make it a layered cake. Top it off with a sprinkle of “Powdered Sugar”
