Corn Pancakes

I remember when IHOP used to have corn pancakes. I really loved them. It was like almost like corn bread but in a pancake form (and I love corn bread!). Then one day, they decided to break our hearts and take them away with no explanation (maybe there was an explanation but I didn’t look it up). Anywho, I stumbled across a copycat recipe and YAY, something to satisfy my craving.

This is one of my favorite side dishes. In the summer I like to use fresh corn, but since that’s not in season anymore sweet frozen corn and lima beans will do!

Chop onions, and squash, don’t forget to smash and mince the garlic.

Add the squash, and cook until a little bit clear. Then add the corn and lima beans, and season it with salt and pepper! So easy, yet so tasty. I can’t even write a recipe for this because you can make it your own way, to taste! Enjoy.
