For Valentine's Day, when the girlies were little, I'd make some Valentine themed foods: heart shaped cookies, cupcakes decorated with hearts, heart shaped cake, heart shaped meatloaf.
A month before Valentine's Day, I stumbled across a recipe for Chocolate Chip Cannoli Pancakes and knew I wanted to make these for Himself and I for a Valentine's Day brunch as neither of us had to work that day. It's not often our schedules coincide.
The recipe is time consuming with so many moving parts. Cream has to be whipped, egg white beaten, but the end result was so worth it. This recipe is sooo good if you have a special breakfast/brunch or dessert you want to prepare or if you just want to treat yourself a little special.

Sounds and looks fabulous, CJ. I would go off my diet to try it!!! Happy T-day and Hugz!
ReplyDeleteI did! So worth it 😺
DeleteThose look quite delicious - a step above regular chocolate chip pancakes, which are popular at diners.

ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteThat sure does look delicious!
ReplyDeleteA nice change of pace breakfast
DeleteThey look yummy (but WAAAAAY too time consuming for me! LOL)
ReplyDeleteYeah, this might be a once in a lifetime recipe 😺
DeleteWow, those pancakes look amazing! I bet they tasted yummy and were the perfect Valentine's treat 😀. Happy T Day wishes! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeletethey were soooo good!
DeleteThat's so pretty, and it looks delicious! I'd love it if somebody cooked it for me... Happy T Tuesday
ReplyDeleteBring some movies and I'll make the effort 😺
DeleteYou can't beat a good pancake, and those look amazing. and very special too. I am eating lunch now, and the oatmeal and dried fruit I was so excited about doesn't look half as tempting now. Smile. Stay dry as this day goes on CJ. And happy rest of T day too. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI had oatmeal and craisins for lunch. Nothing to write home about
Deleteoooh this looks so decadent and delicious!! Nice to make something special when you have time to enjoy it together. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteThe pancakes were very filling, too.
DeleteSo pretty. What's not to like? Cannoli for breakfast sounds perfect
ReplyDeleteThough the pancakes were very good, I think I would have preferred the crisp cannoli shell
DeleteOh this looks so yummy! Delicious. I need to look at the recipe. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome
Deletethese look SSOOOO good. A few of my blog friends love to cook and bake. I wish I had that particular gene - but i love to eat. I'm kind of envious that I don't like to cook because it looks so creative.
ReplyDeleteI prefer baking to cooking, and I love to eat
Deletewhich reminds me - i use to like to bake, especially a few of my mom's favorite recipes.
DeleteOh my. That looks luscious. Good job.
ReplyDeleteCeej takes a bow.
Deletethis does look good !!! dye the mix green and have it again on St Pat's day ♣♣♣ ☺☺☺
ReplyDeleteWill have to use bananas or something for the fruit otherwise it will look like Christmas. I hear Himself saying: What's wrong with that? 😺
DeleteLooks delicious.
ReplyDeleteSo worth all the calories
DeleteCannoli is my favorite dessert, although I rarely get to eat it. I will be checking out this recipe for sure. Looks beautiful for the picture.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
Want a quick and dirty cannoli? Make the filling and then use a sugar ice cream cone as the shell
DeleteYour special Valentine's Day brunch looks and sounds wonderful! Happy T Day.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to have a special breakfast together.
DeleteOooo, that certainly looks very delicious! I've had cannoli before of course, having lived in Italy for so long, but never had cannoli pancakes. My mouth is watering!
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
The pancakes were good, but I prefer the crisp shell of the cannoli.
DeleteWow they sound and look delicious! Happy T Day Elle/EOTC xx
ReplyDeleteThey were amazing if I do say so myself
DeleteI started this yesterday but blogger didn't want to play nice. I would so like some cannoli pancakes. These look so darn good. Have a great day today.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have an amazing day, too
DeleteThis looks absolutely wonderful. Perusing the recipe, I feel it is out of my league, though. You did GOOD!!! Thanks for sharing this and your stunning blue and white tableware, mug, cup, and saucer with us for T this week, dear.
ReplyDeleteThe recipe isn't difficult, just time consuming.
DeleteI used to love making these souffle style pancakes. Might have to treat hubby. Yours look delicious with this topping. Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
