Introduction	Welcome to our kitchen! Where 5-year-old chef, “O,” leads the way as flapjacks sizzle, starring a healthy or local ingredient-of-the-week. Around here, Sunday mornings start with O . . . Cracking farm eggs, then spilling raw milk. Whisking batter and sneaking tastes. And, even though it happens every Sunday, the nuances still enchant O: greasing the griddle, watching batter bubble, dropping neighborhood wineberries. Then, all of the sudden, steaming stacks appear. Ignoring giant messes, two brothers, a daddy and I circle up. Drizzling syrup, melting butter, being together. Each week, O and I deliver a crave-worthy recipe to our family and to you, dear readers. With recipes, like “Monkey Bars,” “Old Glory” and “Make-Mom-Proud-Kale” pancakes, our blog may be just the thing to get you inspired to eat seasonally, start your own mealtime ritual or just have fun in the kitchen- with or without kids. You can read more about the birth of Strawberry Flapjacks in our first blog entry.
