I honestly can’t remember the last time I missed my family. Like really missed them. Because I don’t really get away from them that often, and when I do, the time tends to fly by…and before I know it, I’m back at home feeling like I never even left.
Well, I just got back from my long-awaited trip to San Francisco, and for the most part, that’s exactly what happened. The time flew by, I had a blast, I met some amazing bloggers I’d never met in person, I spent time touring the city with some of my favorite people, I ate amazing good, I stayed up too late, I slept in, and…..I mostly didn’t miss my family. And then, suddenly, I did.
It happened the morning I was leaving to come home, as I was packing up my suitcase and drinking my last morning coffee with friends. I started thinking about the week ahead, and as much as I wasn’t quite ready to get back to the daily grind, a part of me really was. Because at the end of the day, even though I love to get away, home is the most comfortable place I know. And that counts for a lot.
Where else can you stay in your pajamas all day and not shower nearly enough and sometimes forget to be nice….and still have people who endlessly love and adore you? The answer is simple. NOWHERE! Not to mention – where else can you have Pumpkin Cheesecake Pancakes?!

We had these for dinner awhile back and they did not disappoint! I had butternut squash that I’d pureed and wondered if it would work in a pumpkin pancake recipe. The pancakes turned out great and the toppings made them amazing! LOVED.
