Okay, I’ll admit it: I’m one of those people that skip breakfast way too frequently. Why? It’s not that I don’t like breakfast, it’s that I just really love sleep and I’ll sacrifice that morning meal to hit that snooze button a few more times. I know, I know… bad idea. But folks, this is about to change because I just came across a mouthwatering breakfast recipe that’ll motivate even the snooziest (is this even a word?) of us to get up early in the morning: pineapple upside-down pancakes! Thanks to Michael Mech, the Bungalow Chef for eHow Food, we have this incredibly delicious and easy recipe! [googlead]
