Eating dinner at home with my family each night is a priority for me, and one of my goals for the new year is to have my boys help me cook dinner as often as possible. They love helping out in the kitchen, and they love to experiment with testing out new recipes and learning new kitchen skills. Whether they help me cook dinner or not, the most important thing is that we sit down and eat together. Spending that quality time with my family makes all of us healthier and happier! Studies show that kids who have meals with their families frequently have healthier diets and do better in school, and adults with demanding jobs feel less stress when they eat with their families. It’s a win-win for everyone!

If you ask my children what they want for dinner, the answer is almost always pizza. Since pizza is always a welcome dinner, what about pizza pancakes? When I ran across a recipe for pizza pancakes in the new Taste of Home 100 Family Meals cookbook, I knew we had to give it a try. It sounds like something my three boys would love!

Taste of Home’s 100 Family Meals cookbook has a lot of great recipes that are perfect for busy families. As I was flipping through the book, I made note of numerous recipes that my entire family would enjoy eating together, and that’s not an easy feat since all of my boys are picky in totally different ways! The book has so much more than just a collection of recipes, though! It also includes convenient meal planning and recipe pairings, grocery lists, and LOTS of ideas to make family dinner time fun and delicious. The book contains fun “Table Talk” conversation starters, and you know how much we love those around here!

pizza pancake mix ingredients

To make the pizza pancakes, I started by prepping the ingredients that I wanted to mix into the pancake batter – we used pepperoni, tomatoes, cheese, and bell peppers, but you can mix it up to suit your family’s taste preferences.

I tossed everything into the pancake batter, mixed well, and cooked according to the recipe directions. I added an extra spoonful of shredded mozzarella cheese into the center of each pancake as it was cooking for even more cheesy goodness!

My three boys loved the pizza pancakes (in fact, my middle son devoured almost an entire batch just by himself!), and they really like the idea of creating new pizza pancake combinations and recipes. One kid suggested that we try to make taco pancakes next!
