Aunt Lou here.
Growing up we went to this amazing breakfast place in Pigeon Forge. They had these crepe like pancakes that were covered in a strawberry compote, whipped cream and powdered sugar. They were amazing! I ate these pancakes every time I was in the Smokies for as long as I remember until December 5, 2010. This was the morning after Michael had proposed to me in front of Laurel Falls. We carried on my family’s tradition of eating at my beloved restaurant. What we didn’t know was that we would never eat there again. A road was widened, and it was torn down. (I have yet to find a place that can even come close to comparing to the amazing breakfasts I had there!) So I was pleasantly surprised when I whipped up this Crock Pot Strawberry Compote that I adapted from Cooking Light’s Slow Cooker Tonight and found a little bit of the breakfast I loved again!
