Polynesian Pancakes

Springtime scents and flavors are calling. After bundling up in layers and lounging around the house in fuzzy socks ... a sweet taste of things that remind me of warmer weather will do the trick to shake any winter blues. Zesty citrus, tangy pineapple, and creamy coconut are sure to warm up any weekend morning.

While this recipe may not be conducive to a bikini belly diet ... it will certainly bring your mind right to the beach!

This is Jim's newest creation at the Mount Dora Historic Inn, and I can't wait to try making this in my own kitchen this weekend. I'll be sure to post some pictures of my luau breakfast experiment.

8 oz Can of Coconut Cream
