National Pancake Day

According to the local newspaper, today is National Pancake Day. I couldn't let such a day pass without making my kids their FAVORITE dinner. However, I've been trying to incorporate fruits and veggies into the main dish (I'll post my brussel sprout mac and cheese recipe soon). So, I took one of my mom's best dishes and turned it into pancakes!!

Add the squash, apples, and raisins to oven safe casserole dish.
