Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pear Pancakes
Enjoy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pear Pancakes for a special weekend brunch. Stack them high and serve with maple syrup, pecans, and big chunks of pear.
Friends, we just sent our Miz Abby off to college for her last year. It’s so hard to see the years fly by, but at the same time, it’s a beautiful thing to see your kids grow up and mature and take on their own lives.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Today I’m sharing one of the last meals Abby made for us before she left. We were headed out of the country, and it was a weekend—a time to enjoy a fun breakfast together. These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pear Pancakes are super fun for fall for a family dinner (or breakfast or brunch), or for having guests over. Don’t forget to make a Pumpkin Latte, too! Or, maybe this summer you tried my Shredded Zucchini Almond Flour Pancakes (YUM!)
Live out hospitality
I love how hospitable my daughter is up at school. She cooks for her friends on the weekends.
We are meant to bring hospitality with us wherever we go. And this word can play out in so many areas of our lives. We have many opportunities to live “hospitably” in so many ways.
We all know people who we would say are very hospitable people, but they never invite others into their home. Never! (Or maybe twice a year, for 2 holidays). These may be the people who bring a meal to you when your family needs it, or they come and sit with you when your parent dies, or they help out with your kids.
Being generous with love and support and a warm caring spirit is hospitality. No matter what the surroundings, whether you’re in another country or in your own home, the spirit of love and kindness comes with you.
What works for you or your family?
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pear Pancakes
These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pear Pancakes are a fun place to start with simple, in-home hospitality! Ask 1-2 people to come over on a Saturday or Sunday morning! Or, make it late morning!
Have a mission in mind. Make a fun, easy dish, and just love on the people coming over.
How can you make them feel special?
There is no specific formula, but here are just a few things I came up with:
Offer drinks. How about just serving a hot drink like these Pumpkin Lattes?
Cook a one-pot meal. This Pumpkin Turkey Chili Recipe is great!
Just serve dessert. This Pear Puff Pastry Dessert is super easy to make, or No-Peel Pear Cobbler.
Relax! Be yourself and enjoy the company you are in.
People are more at ease when you are comfortable as well, so just relax and enjoy!
