bacon for me, but Mom did make a great bacon sandwich. Toasted white bread (Arnold), lightly buttered with chili sauce on on-half, and grape jelly on the other, with 3-4 slices of crisp bacon-yummy of yesteryear.

When pancakes are on the menu they are of several varieties I make: buttermilk, blueberry, buckwheat, corn, apple fritter, banana nut, etc. and always served with maple syrup.
I also love oatmeal with apple and raisins and cinnamon.

The pancakes are the Walmart frozen variety which I am trying. I hate pancake mix because there is always food waste. These have small pouches of three which are just right. I disregarded the instructions and just heated them on the skillet with the eggs. Not as fluffy as the mix version but not bad for a first attempt!
