Everyone has “their” aisle or section of the grocery store. The one that they are drawn to and could set up camp and shop for a while. Okay, not literally set up camp, but you know what I mean.

Let’s just go and grab some appetizers for lunch, said my girlfriend as we were deciding on how to celebrate her birthday during our limited window of woman-hood, not mommy-hood.

Coconut Coated Pineapple Pancakes. If you like piña coladas…but, really everyone was saying it taste like a piña colada, a virgin piña colada.

Although they can be served for breakfast or any meal of the day we prefer them for our after dinner dessert.
