to just give my DC pancakes with sugar & lemon juice for tea?

[dayslikethis]

In my defence - they are having a couscous salad for pack lunch at school today with loads of veggies and roast chicken mixed in with it so they will have had one proper meal already.

I had planned to make savoury pancakes with a chicken alfredo filling and then just some sweet ones for after, but I had forgotten that DS has swimming today and I have to go out and pick him up at 5.30pm which is a PITA and means that dinner ends up being rushed rather than leisurely.

They will complain if I make them eat savoury pancakes - not because they are fussy eaters, but because they LOVE sugar & lemon juice crepes and don't get them very often so it's a real treat.

Please tell me IANBU to effectively feed my children dessert for dinner one night of the year.

Every single year I say two things on Pancake day:

1. these are lovely. We should have them more often
2. They're surprisingly filling aren't they?

Every. Single. Year.

In the end DD had 5 pancakes yesteday:

2x at her childminder - sugar and one with 2! blueberries

2x at Brownies - sugar and lemon

1x at home - chocolate spread and whipped cream

Not a single savoury food item since lunch. And - she woke up this morning, healthy and happy.

We enjoyed our pancakes with lemon and sugar or golden syrup so much I said we could have them again tomorrow night!
