Meat Pancakes

One of the things I loved as a kid was when Mom made meat pancakes. It is a great way of using up leftover roast meat. It was one of those casual meals we often had for Sunday evening dinner. I just assumed all families knew about meat pancakes. When I married Mick he’d was skeptical at first, as he’d never heard of such a thing, but he soon became a big fan of them. Often we have cold roast beef or lamb with salad for lunches but the other day when we’d had roast beef he said, ‘Make sure … Continue reading →

More About Gluten Free Flours

Rice flour is probably the most commonly used flour for the person on a gluten free diet. However, white rice flour is not particularly nutritious. So if you’re looking for a more nutritious alternative try brown rice flour, which as its name suggests is made from brown rice. I always use brown rice instead of white rice for meals, so it makes sense to use brown rice flour as well as it has higher fiber content because it includes the bran of the rice and hit has not been over processed. It is however heaver than white rice flour so … Continue reading →

A Sweet Christmas Morning Treat

German pancakes, also known as, Dutch baby pancakes are a popular sweet treat served on Christmas morning–at least in homes where muffins and crepes don’t reign supreme. What makes the dish special is that unlike traditional pancakes, German pancakes are placed in the oven so they puff up (though they rapidly deflate once they’re removed from the oven), and then they are doused with powdered sugar and sweet fruit toppings. If you are looking to sugar coat your Christmas breakfast this year, consider making the following recipe for Traditional German Pancakes: TRADITIONAL GERMAN PANCAKES Ingredients: 3 eggs, room temperature 1/2 … Continue reading →

Five of Nashville’s Best Breakfast Spots

Whether you’re a visitor to the Music City or a local, nothing starts off a day better than a good breakfast. Below are my picks for five of Nashville’s best breakfast spots. 1.

(The original house still remains, … Continue reading →

Baker’s Square All-You-Can-Eat Pancakes $3

Baker’s Square is offering a gas relief promotion. No, it’s not free packages of Beano. It’s the other kind of gas. You know, the one that’s making BioDiesel more and more attractive. Right now, bring in your gas station receipt and get all-you-can-eat pancakes for however much you paid per gallon (minimum $2.99 – doubtful that many of us will have a problem going over the minimum). I’m not a huge pancake eater, unless they have strawberries on them or blueberries baked into them. The syrup is just too sweet for me. Unless they have 100% maple, I doubt I … Continue reading →

Tallulah in the Kitchen – Nancy Wolff

Tallulah is a brightly colored kitty cat who loves to cook; more specifically, she loves to cook pancakes. Today her friends Freddie and Roxy are coming over to try her new pancake recipies. Along with her dog, Flapjack, they comprise her culinary judging panel. Sometimes her experiments don’t go over so well.
