Red Velvet Pancakes inspired by 500 Days of Summer #MoviesandMunchies

These gorgeous red velvet pancakes are a great start to a wonderful Valentine's Day.  They couldn't be any easier, starting with a boxed cake mix and topped with a cream cheese sauce they are a delicious sweet treat to show your love.

I was inspired to make pancakes after watching 500 Days of Summer for our Movies and Munchies group.  The Red Velvet Pancakes were chosen because Valentine's Day is right around the corner......

Amy of Amy's Cooking Adventures is hosting Movies and Munchies this month and chose a Rom/Com in honor of Valentine's Day.

I had never heard of this movie prior to this event.  This movie came out in 2009 and is available on HULU and Amazon Prime.  It follows Tom (Joseph Gordon Levitt) as he reflects on 500 Days of dating Summer (Zooey Deschanel) after she unexpectedly breaks up with him.

At the very beginning of the movie, Summer is eating pancakes and sausage.  That is the only food I saw during this film.  It's a good thing that there are so many different types of pancakes out there.  

The movie was a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy afternoon.  I can't say that I will ever have a yearning to watch it again but I'm not sorry it was chosen for Valentine's month and am happy to participate with Amy in this event.

I'm also happy to share another pancake recipe with you.  We love pancakes around here and I hope to get some new recipes from this event.
