I guess it’s no news that my eating habits are somewhat influenced by the blog. As in, when 2-3 recipes are happening per week, I will find myself fitting those recipes into my day somehow.
That is, unless I make a doughnut recipe on a Saturday or something, in that case I’m lucky if I can sneak a bite in 🙂
The rest of the time, the food blogging thing sometimes means I eat the same recipe incorporated into 3 different meals in one day (or reheated for a snack) and sometimes it means I eat brownies for lunch. I can’t say I hate the brownie days.
On this particular day it meant I ate a whole lot of blueberry pancakes for lunch – again – not complaining. It also meant that I “cushioned” the pancake lunch with a savory afternoon snack. But now I’m way ahead of myself! Let’s go back to the beginning and start WIAW-ing away 🙂
WIAW Beef for Breakfast and Pancakes for Lunch
I can’t blame beef for breakfast on the blog – it’s my favorite lately. Sweet potatoes, grass fed beef and kale with a pretty little fried egg to top it off. Everything was cooked in my smallest cast iron skillet with coconut oil.
My coffee was with the usual creamy coconut milk with no sweetener. I was on a maple syrup kick for a while but got sick of the sweetness.
I’d been meaning to make these pancakes for awhile, and as per usual I picked the busiest day, when I DID NOT HAVE THE TIME, to make and photograph them. This is called maso-blog-a-chism I think. I don’t know if I’ll ever get on a schedule and stop this madness. Anyway, the paleo pancake gods spared me this time and they came out great, my lunch was thoroughly enjoyed despite avoiding responsibility. I’m thinking the recipe will be posted sometime next week? I’m sure I’m forgetting at least 3 other recipes that need sharing!
A few hours later I fried a chicken apple sausage in coconut oil with a fried egg. This is my kind of snack, especially after a sweeter lunch. Reverse dessert, right?
Dinner was beef and sweet potatoes again, and I’m telling you I never would’ve noticed if I hadn’t taken pictures of my food! Funny how that happens. This was a burger topped with buffalo ranch, and sweet potato fries over mixed greens.
Lately my snack has been the same thing every night – strawberries with chopped dates and Lindt 90% chocolate. I wonder when I’ll be over this one? It’s still going strong!
Do you ever do reverse dessert if you eat something sweet for a meal?
Who’s eaten pancakes for lunch?
What’s your go-to breakfast lately?
I don’t think I have ever had pancakes for lunch but as a kid we used to eat them for dinner sometimes! I made pancakes on Sunday and halfway through realized I was out of maple syrup! I still ate them, and tried melting some peanut butter on top but it just wasn’t the same.
There’s just something about maple syrup with pancakes, I hear you! We ran out once and used honey, it was pretty good but not quite the same.
I’ve definitely had pancakes for lunch. Last night, I decided that I would have pancakes for dinner while I was at work, and then completely forgot about that decision by the time I got home. I missed out.
I always make plans and then forget! There’s always tonight!
I am your doppelgänger. Around here frequently beef or salmon for breakfast and waffles or pancakes for dinner!!
same! i crave meat in the morning and carbs at lunch. LOL! pancake lunch party ya’ll!!!
I know, interesting right? Pancake lunch party needs to happen 🙂
It just feels right sometimes!
Pancakes for lunch are never a bad idea or dinner for that matter or anytime really!
Seems to be the consensus!
Your go-to breakfast is mine lately, minus the beef because I can’t come to terms with the smell in the morning. Maybe if it was already cooked? I’m sure I’ve eaten pancakes for lunch at some point in my life, most likely at brunch or a New Jersey diner 🙂
Funny but I don’t smell beef, I must be very very used to it! I do however smell it in my house after dropping the kids off at school!
Pancakes for lunch? That may be an idea I just have to try 😉
Yup, I’m sure it’s right up your alley 🙂
Really looking forward to your pancake recipe!! Pancakes for breakfast or lunch or dinner…yummm!!!
I think I need to get on board with that attitude too, why not!
LOVE the look of those pancakes and can’t say I’m sorry you had to test the recipe either 🙂 Plus blueberries and chicken apple sausage are a great combo.
Hey there’s apples in the sausage already! Although I was pretty stuffed after the pancakes 🙂
I love pancakes any time of day! My go to breakfast is pumpkin baked oatmeal and pb on top 😀 Cant stop eating it!
Ooh that sounds so good!
I hope you will post the pancake recipe. We currently use one from The Paleo Kitchen cookbook and we love it. I’m always looking for something new (and simpler). That pic looks beautiful! 🙂
I’m thinking next Friday for the pancakes! I have that book but haven’t tried the pancakes, I think I made waffles from it though!
those pancakes look awesome ! my breakfast is still the same. scrambled eggs and fruit. sometimes with a sausage link sometimes without. sometimes its crazy town and my BF makes fried eggs and 2 tiny pieces of GF toast. my mom called sunny side eggs and toast “dippin eggs” cuz you dip the bread into the egg so i stilll call them that. dippin eggs are normally for fridays ! i laugh because in the old days i would have eated 2 pieces of regular wheat bread. now i feel “bad” if i eat bread. but GF bread is so small ! its probably like 1/2 a regular piece. so does that mean maybe i can have 4 ! i would like that my wallet would not !
Dippin eggs are awesome except it’s plantains and potatoes that are dipped for me!
I love dates and chocolate and sweet potatoes and fried eggs. So many great combos in this WIAW post! And nothing wrong with pancakes for lunch, or dinner for that matter ; )
So true! Whenever pancakes are around it’s fair game 🙂
I think I’ve totally found myself doing a ‘reverse dessert’ because usually one dessert is enough for my tastebuds, so I’ll go for something savory later. It’s amazing, how when we allow our bodies to be intuitive, how intuitive they truly are. Beef for breakfast sounds really satisfying, and I’m not sure I’ve done pancakes for lunch, but we’ve done them for dinner a lot.
Reverse dessert just seems to happen! Balance 🙂
My go to breakfast recently has been eggs and fruit. Can’t go wrong with a classic!
Definitely a perfect classic!
I often eat pancakes for lunch when photographing them for the blog, solely because the lighting is better haha!
Ohhh the things we do for our blogs 😛
Totally! I just said to Arman I need to rally to make dinner recipes in the morning – not easy!
pancakes for lunch is standard in this neck of the woods- Or desserts, cakes, experiments. I guess when it’s part of your job description, it’s acceptable, ha! Now I want beef…
Yup, part of the job description is right! Although I have trouble gearing up to grill steaks in the morning and therefore have no recipes for those. Hard to rally for dinner recipes at 10am!
Haha maso-blog-a-chism I love this one! The pancakes look amazing, looking forward to the recipe. And I’d totally eat them for lunch too. My breakfasts are savory (fried eggs or omelettes are my favorites) so something sweet for another meal suits well!
I LOVE my savory breakfasts! Totally married to them, but yes, the sweet has to fit in too 🙂
