Brown Sugar Oatmeal Pancakes

I can't believe it was MARCH the last time I posted. Y'all are gonna fire me! Life gets busy, doesn't it. Not all busy is bad. Some busy is good like calling to check on people when they're sick, being involved in bridal showers (5 in 2 months), volunteering to help when a tornado or other disaster hits a nearby community, being involved in church work or community service, praying for others who are in need. I'd much rather be on the giving end than the receiving end. Plus, spending all the time you can with family is so important. We're not guaranteed another day or even the rest of this one.

With the weekend coming up, you might have time to make some pancakes for breakfast. These are so good. I almost don't like to eat plain pancakes anymore. My youngest daughter kept telling me I needed to try these. They are OH, SO YUMMY! They're a bit more filling too.
