French Banana Pancakes
"Looking for a fabulous new breakfast? This is it, very easy to fix, and makes a wonderful presentation when serving. Great for any day of the week, or makes an impression on guests. They taste as yummy as they look. I started making these about 15 years ago when my son was in middle school. After sleepovers, the other boys would be so impressed with breakfast, and would beg their moms to get the recipe. The great thing was, this recipe is easy enough for that age group to make themselves. Hope you try it, we love it. This is a Taste of Home recipe."

Best Banana Crepes I've had so far!! I added more cream and milk to the sauce as it was too thick for my taste. But we really enjoyed this breakfast treat. Thanks for the recipe!

I have always loved to cook. This got me into trouble with my wieght, because I loved to eat what I cooked. I am now a weight watcher, I have to lighten most recipes. My favorite cookbooks are Taste of Home & Taste of Home Light. MY pet peeve is boxed dinners. I do love simple and quick though.
I have 3 grown sons, one is in last semester of college, one is married and a new baby is on the way, so I will be grandma in January.
My daughter-in-law hates to cook, they order prepared food off the internet, that makes me crazy. ha.
I love animals, but right now only have one dog. A bloodhound. She is so loveable, I would recommend this breed to anyone as long as you have patience, but they are one of the most loving breeds out there.My married son has 3 lab. retrievers,a baby will be easy after those 3 monsters, as I lovingly called them when they were pups. My oldest son has a Rottwieller. I have had 3 Rotts, they have all pasted, buy they are a really great breed. They are so smart and loveable, I guess that's why people who chose to make them bad, can do so, all they want to do is please their owners.
My real passion is shoes, shoes, shoes. I also love jewelry, but shoes, shoes, shoes,!!!!!
Update I am finally grandma to the prettiest baby girl ever. She was born on Jan. 15, her name is Mariah. She is perfect!
