Apple Pie Almond Meal Pancakes

In Uncategorized by Madison Mayberry3 Comments

Is there anything better than weekend breakfasts? Joe and I make a point to eat breakfast together almost every morning. We’re even the crazy people who wake up an extra hour earlier than we need to because we want time to drink coffee, eat breakfast, talk and watch a little morning news. Weekend breakfasts, however, are an entirely different thing. We have time to wake up a little later and still soak up a few hours together, drinking cups and … Read More

Almond Meal Pancakes

In Uncategorized by Madison Mayberry12 Comments

Breakfast is my carb meal. Most mornings I find myself plopped down at my kitchen table with a bowl of oatmeal, breakfast farro, or toast with peanut butter and bananas. Aside from a short and very dark period in high school when I cut out all carbohydrates and ate nothing but meat and vegetables (no butter, oil, condiments, or sauces allowed!) until I almost passed out at band camp (don’t judge, band was cool), I’ve always believed that healthy carbohydrates … Read More

Protein Pancake

In by Madison Mayberry12 Comments

  Lately on the blogosphere, there have been plenty of recipes popping up for protein pancakes. I absolutely love a good whole wheat pancake so the idea of a protein-packed version with fewer carbs and a more admirable nutritional profile seemed like the best of both worlds. Last week I set out to make one of the recipes I found on a popular blog and was disappointed in the results. Maybe it was because the recipe called for a ‘scoop’ … Read More

Peanut Butter Cup Pancakes

After talking in my last recipe post about my commitment to sharing more healthy recipes and inspiration from my daily life in food, I know what you must be thinking. Peanut Butter Cup Pancakes? Well, that hardly qualifies as a healthy breakfast. But let me explain. For a while now, pancakes have gotten a bad reputation for being unhealthy and full of empty calories. But with a little tweaking, they can actually be a great way to start your day. … Read More

Buttermilk Bluberry-Lemon Pancakes

Some of you may be issuing a sigh of frustration upon the realization that I’m posting yet another pancake recipe. But if you’re anything like me, there is never such a thing as too many ways to fry up a breakfast cake. Up until this summer, I wouldn’t have given a second thought to pancakes. They didn’t interest me, seemed unhealthy, and couldn’t hold a candle to a bowl of Greek yogurt or oatmeal. But at some point in the … Read More

Peanut Flour Pancakes and Giveaway

In by Madison Mayberry54 Comments

I’ve had a bit of a crazy week at work. It seems as if everyone is working extra hard, making the final push until Christmas. Paired with a company Christmas party and a couple coffee dates, the closest I’ve gotten to making dinner for myself has been opening up a yogurt container. But even on those days when I don’t have time to cook dinner, I find time to make a killer breakfast. It’s always been my favorite meal of … Read More

Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes

In by Madison Mayberry11 Comments

Cue the Jack Johnson song because I’m making banana pancakes. And you should, too. Actually, I’ve been making banana pancakes for over a week now and am convinced these pancakes are the best breakfast yet on Espresso and Cream. This recipe is loosely adapted from the buttermilk pancakes in my most recent cookbook obsession, Gourmet Today. I’ve been reading and cooking my way through it, recipe after delicious recipe, entirely shocked it sat unused on my shelf for almost a … Read More

Buckwheat-Greek Yogurt Pancakes

I’ve posted before about my ambivalent relationship with pancakes. How I never really crave them and can count on one hand the number of times I’ve made them in my own apartment. But fall weather has that way of doing funny things to your taste buds, and this week I found myself wanting, craving even, a warm stack of pancakes. But, alas, when I really got down to making them it wasn’t a stack of white fluffy pancakes that I … Read More

Pecan-Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes

I am what you might consider one of those annoying people who likes getting up early, with the exception of some Saturday mornings when I sleep in until (gasp!) eight or nine, I’m usually up and at it around seven. And being a morning person, there is nothing I love more than a good breakfast or morning ritual. Sure, I have my own morning rituals at home, but it’s when I am up in Minneapolis/St. Paul visiting J. and my … Read More

Potato Pancakes

In my opinion, there’s nothing more satisfying that finding a great deal on an article of clothing, especially when it’s something you’ve had your eye on. The thrill of the hunt, extra cash in your bank account, and, of course, being able to tell your friends about your good fortune. But second to finding something great on sale, is finding a new way to use leftovers, and as far as leftovers go, it doesn’t really get any more versatile than … Read More

Cinnamon Spiced Oatmeal Pancakes

In by Madison Mayberry1 Comment

More often than not, the best recipe ideas come to me when I am laying in bed, waiting to fall asleep. The longer it takes, the more developed the recipes become. Sometimes the excitement over my new idea, usually a breakfast item because of its proximity to waking up, becomes so great that falling asleep becomes a challenge. Of course this leaves me too tired the next day to get much done, let alone have the motivation to cook something … Read More
