courgette pancakes

Among the first words I learned in kindergarden, courgette has been a memorable one. Even today, my parents remind me how I'd try to correct them whenever they said zucchini. I was pretty excited when we received this lovely courgette from someone's garden.

It is huge. Like maybe 10 cups of shredded courgette.. and I thought I'd only most 5 cups. So it's officially time to get creative with this amazing veggie. Since I wasn't expecting so much zucchini, I ended up shredding the whole thing. So much shredding! I started to use my grater, but ended up using my food processor. Boy did that make my life easier! Haha, I can't believe I did not think of that earlier.

pancake madness

I've always had a sweet tooth when it comes to meals, including breakfast. One of my favorites to eat in the morning would have to be pancakes. They are so fluffy and light! And when they are soaked in maple syrup.. ahh so yummy! Who can say no to pancakes?! Definitely not Jan Di from Boys Over Flowers (go to 1:19 to see what I'm talking about)!

Can you spot them?

Anyhow, even though I love pancakes very much, I have always had a problem when coming to making them. It has always been a challenge. I'm not sure if it's the amount of batter I'm putting on the skillet or my actual recipe. I really can't tell! You can see a few burnt pancakes in my pile of pancakes. Actually, I think some of them burnt because I was drinking a glass of OJ while they were on the stove... I guess I was slightly distracted. However, most of them turned out pretty nice! And on top of that we have blueberries at home.. <3
