Wonton Pierogies and Chocolate Chip Pancakes

When the boyfriend and I get the house to ourselves (once in a pigs flying over the blue, hell-freezing moon) we like to ... cook.

No, really.

One of our favorite things to do in college when we would visit each others' schools (oh my, that is a heavy-feeling past tense) was making something new for dinner together. Besides our shared love of food (perhaps a little too much love, says my skinny jeans), our relationship grew in the fun and innovation of our tiny, grimy college-apartment kitchens. Even with little counter space, sinks that always seemed to be overflowing with dishes, and Telfon-flaking, cancer-causing, non-stick pans, it was our thing and we often miss cooking together now that we live at home.

But this weekend got we got a little of that back. I've been meaning to try out the ever-versatile wonton wrapper for a while, and they did not disappoint in fashioning a make-shift, low-cal pierogi (hey, hey, that is low-fat cheese and fat-free sour cream in the below photos). And then, you know, to balance out all that low-cal jazz we made pecan banana chocolate chip pancakes. Totally normal.

Click on the photos for some super, in-your-face deliciousness. Although, admittedly, our styling could use a bit of work. Don't worry, Smitten Kitchen, you're safe.

OMG that looks delicious! Yeah, I can't really do that. But my boyfriend can, so he does most of the cooking in our relationship.
