Throughout my childhood pancakes meant a lot of things. They meant my dad was home, they meant mornings filled with laughter and sugary kisses, and they released the weight of the week welcoming the relaxation of the weekend. 

Here is one of my favorites, Chocolate orange pancakes. The perfect fusion of sinfully rich dark chocolate and light citrus accents. These pancakes will be sure to satisfy, and provide the warmth and satisfaction of a weekend from childhood.
