Strawberry Heart Pancakes

By devogirl

When I want to add a little bit of extra love to my flapjacks, I add a sliced strawberry in the shape of a heart in the middle of each one. It may seem like no big deal, but it tends to have an affect on my family. Luckily no fancy knife skills are required because after you stem a strawberry and then slice it lengthwise, it naturally looks like a heart. Can you think of anything better to serve up for your kids or loved one on Valentine's Day morning than this?
