Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes with Berry Compote
Enjoy these Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes with Berry Compote, the perfect breakfast for out-of-town company, made with frozen berries!
Entertaining goes deeper than just inviting guests and whipping up a simple meal. It means practicing community around the table, sharing stories, and finding out more about what makes our guests so interesting.
Which is why we love to linger around the breakfast table, with good food, when we have out-of-town guests.
We’ve always said that people are more important than the food or drink that is served.
It takes discipline to catch ourselves from getting caught up in the limelight of entertaining, having everything perfect, remaining humble, with soft hearts that are ready to love on our guests …
Slowing down …
One of the reasons we love our new home and lifestyle, is that it gives us more time to slow down, and to listen …
Listen to nature (we’re loving throwing open the doors!)
Listen to those around our table.
Even when we don’t have an answer to give, it’s still good to listen.
Best table talk TIPS
Here are a few reminders for the BEST table talk:
1. Be there. We can’t always fix another’s hurts, but we can be there for them, inviting them into our homes.
2. Listen. We don’t always have to advise, but we can listen, and help our friends talk things out. We also learn from the people at our table!
3. Give advice. Listen first, then give advice at the right time.
4. Be empathetic. Be willing to think about your own experiences and how they might help.
And then there’s a hug or a smile, and then a plate of good food. (Like Creamy Pesto Goat Cheese Eggs, or Best Peach Tart, or Overnight Breakfast Burritos, or Blueberry Caramel French Toast Casserole!

Can you explain this ingredient? I’m simple minded?
“1 c. oats whole oats of oat flour”
You can use whole oats or oat flour :)
I’m not a fan of berries on pancakes but I’m thinking I would just love the pancakes by themselves.
