Breakfast at 2PM!

Google I woke up a little late this afternoon after a night out drinking with some friends. We laughed hard, drank much and spoke until the wee hours of the early morning. So when I woke up I decided to make pancakes to soak up all the liquid in my system!

I planned on making a bunch of them which is why I used two pans. I work for the rest of the week and I'll probably want more pancakes! I stashed the rest in the fridge so I can eat them for breakfast or a late night snack later in the week!

Here's my banana pancake! I have to say this was a first for me. I've cooked chocolate chip pancakes before but I've never done fruit. I didn't take into account the weight of the bananas when I flipped it over so it sort of fell apart and folded in on it self. I only lost one banana though! I was able to cook the flip side and still enjoy it's yummy goodness so it wasn't a complete banana pancake fail!

This is my golden brown blueberry pancake. I have to say that the combination of these two tastes were just what I needed when I woke up! It was almost like eating blue berry banana pie!

What kind of pancakes do you like to make? Do you have any crazy pancake recipes to share?

Breakfast!

Here are some pictures I took of my breakfast over the past few weeks!

"Skipping breakfast is a common strategy for people who are trying to lose weight, but unfortunately, it's usually not a successful strategy. Your body (or more likely, your brain) expects to be refueled a few times each day. When you don't eat breakfast you may feel so hungry by lunch time that you eat more foods than you normally would, which cancels out the calories you cut by skipping breakfast. You may also be tempted to choose foods that are not the healthiest choices when you feel like you're starving.
For many people, eating breakfast may is an important part of a weight loss diet. Research studies tell us that people who eat breakfast are more likely to maintain a healthy weight. Some experts believe that breakfast keeps your metabolism running higher because skipping meals causes the body to kick into 'starvation' mode. This sounds impressive, but it really isn't what happens -- it takes three or for days of eating nothing before the body starts gearing down your metabolism. It's more likely that people who regularly eat breakfast also make good dietary choices the rest of the day."
