This morning I was in the mood for something sweet and so I scoured through my mums old hand written recipe file and came across this great pancake recipe. It’s a real quick and simple breakfast classic.
These aren’t crepes but Scotch pancakes which are thicker and because of the baking soda puffy and airfilled.
Hope you like it!
Eat them freshly made or toasted with jam, chocolate spread or spread thickly with lemon curd (my particular favourite).
Ever since I was a small child I have always had a real aversion to egg mayonnaise. I love eggs and I love mayo but the combination of the two I have always detested. That was until a few years ago..
Back in 2002 I had the misfortune of being diagnosed with acute cholecystitis or an acute inflammation of the gall bladder and I was told I would need surgery to remove said gall bladder.
Any know who has ever suffered from cholecystitis will back me up when I say that the pain is excruiciating and due to the nature of this condition many foods consumed can aggravate the pain.
It was to my surprise that whilst awaiting surgery I found myself cravings egg mayonnaise and for days that was all I ate.
After surgery my cravings disappeared along with my gall bladder and to this day egg mayonnaise has never passed my lips again.
That was until this morning…
Well I’ve made it, my final day of vegetarian week and I must admit I’ve really enjoyed it!! I may make this a regular occurance.
I was in the mood for eggs for breakfast, there was some veg leftover in the fridge which needed used up or would have to go so I thought I would combine them to make a tortilla for breakfast.
I thought since I have been really good over the past few days (I have been working out on my excercise bike for at least 30 minutes each day) that I would have a treat this morning so after my workout I decided to make some of the leftovers in the fridge to good use and make my own version of Huervos Rancheros or Ranch Style Eggs.
I really love peanut butter. I don’t think you can beat toast with peanut butter for a quick and tasty breakfast.
I got up nice and early this morning and decided that I fancied something a little different for breakfast but still using my beloved peanut butter.
I searched the internet for peanut butter recipes and found this great little website from the US Peanut Advisory Board dedicated to those like myself who have a love for peanut butter.
The site has lots of nice facts about the history of peanut butter, how it’s made and most importantly recipes!
I decided I would give their recipe for peanut butter pancakes a try, here’s the recipe.
Tomorrow is the big day and we’ve still a bit of prep work needed before they arrive so no complicated breakfasts today. Stewart managed to get the spare room pretty much cleared yesterday but we still need to get rid of a lot of crap. This simple breakfast went down really well.
It’s another gorgeous summers day, temperature is aready rising and I wanted a hearty breakfast to see me through until dinner time. There were quite a few bits and pieces in the fridge which needed to be used so I thought an omelette was definately the way to go. Here is what I came up with…
I was reading Johanna’s blog over at The Passionate Cook and loved her brilliant breakfast idea of BLT bagels, coincidently were were shopping at Marktkauf a couple of weeks ago and we finally found some bagels.
This morning I decided to treat myself to that very same breakfast.
I thought I would submit this for the WCC#4 – Easter Breakfast and/or Brunch
