Off to See Betty…

I made some simply delicious banana chocolate chip pancakes yesterday on a whim.  I was searching the freezer, fridge, and pantry for an easy meal for lunch, and came up empty handed, until my head said PANCAKES!  I whipped out my beloved and worn Betty Crocker’s Big Red Book*, and carefully tweeked a Banana-Pecan Pancake …
