I have a lot of leftover buttermilk pancakes, so I looked at it as an opportunity to be creative with the extras. 

The pancakes are a little on the thin side, and one idea I had was of treating them like a crepe, here's what I did. 

Buttermilk pancakes stuffed with spicy ham and onion, topped with fresh green beans and hollandaise sauce. 

Come see how I made them. 

I snagged this buttermilk pancake recipe off the cooking group.  It's Bette's recipe, I don't know who Bette is, but thank you Bette for concocting one of the tastiest, fluffiest, tenderest buttermilk pancakes I've ever had. 

Topped with a sunny side up egg, heavenly.

Let's give Bette her due and whip up a batch of her buttermilk pancakes...

I was gifted some ham for Christmas. It's a little saltier than I'd like so I thought using it in a scalloped potato dish would be great, then I spied the sweet potatoes on the counter...Yes!!! sweet potato gratin. 

Add a little tarragon, onion, gruyere and heavy cream. Yummylicious

Let's get cooking

Rich, decadent, robust, and something I don't think I can live without now that I've discovered them. 

I snagged this recipe from The Pioneer Woman, after I saw an episode of her show on The Food Network. 

Don't forget some crusty bread to sop up the luscious juices with. 

Grab a bottle of hearty red wine and lets get cooking. 

What do you do when you have some leftover roasted sweet potatoes, why make some soup of course. 

Making a sunflower out of the cream garnish is my lame attempt at being artsy-fartsy. 

Let's get to making some soup...
