We have all heard the “Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Prince and Dine like a Pauper” saying and we couldn’t agree more. People that have to get to work or school often skip breakfast just to make it on time, but this is a terrible idea. Breakfast provides your body with fuel after an overnight fast so if you want to be productive during the day, remember eating a nice breakfast before all your daily tasks.
Pancakes are perhaps the most delicious breakfast foods, so we have made a list of mouthwatering recipes that are easy to make and incredibly tasty!
