This is a story of the 2008 Presidential campaign, a diner in Pittsburgh, Google images, and a profound love of pancakes.
And if that doesn’t pique your interest – you’re just not the foodie I thought you were.

August 6th, 2012 by
Did you ever hear of a Dutch Baby?
How about a Swedish Puff?
David Eyre’s Pancake?
All three of these titles refer to a tender, eggy, oversized pancake, as wonderful to eat as it is spectacular to look at – and fast/easy to make.
Lemon-Blueberry Pancakes: blues you can use
July 6th, 2012 by
Every time I see a picture of pancakes, I want to drop everything, run into the kitchen, and whip myself up a quick plateful.
So why is it that I only make pancakes about once a year – if that?
There’s nothing so compelling as a hot-off-the-griddle pancake, spread with soft butter and drizzled with thick, dark Grade B maple syrup.
Or, in the case of the pancakes pictured above: tangy-sweet lemon syrup.
So what stops me from making pancakes?

Recipe: Gluten-Free Lemon Pancakes
Aren’t these the most lemony looking pancakes you’ve ever seen?
Bright as a summer sun, their color comes from eggs, and whole-grain cornmeal, and grated lemon peel. A totally golden triple play if ever there was one.
One thing these pancakes DON’T have: wheat flour.

The perfect pancake.
Fact, or fiction?
For such a simple dish – flour, milk, salt, butter, eggs, and leavening – there are certainly a plethora of recipes out there. And not just variations (read: blueberry, chocolate chip); but hundreds and hundreds of recipes for just… plain… pancakes.

Recipe: Zucchini-Cheese Pancakes
Zucchini muffins.
Check.
Zucchini bread.
Check.
Zucchini chocolate cake, and cookies, and caponata, and frittata, and dip, and…
Check, check, and double check.
Is there anything, any combination of zukes, flour, eggs, and herbs and spices and sugar and butter and [fill in the blank] we haven’t thrown together to put a dent in the ever-growing pile of zucchini outside the back door?

Recipe: Cinnamon Streusel Pancakes
Truth be told, I kinda like to get up early on the weekend. Somehow knowing that I don’t have to do it and don’t have to be anywhere makes it easier to do. Trust me, if I do have to get up early on a weekday, it’s not nearly such a pleasant thought.

Ah, pancakes – how do I love thee? Let me count the ways…
I love thee for thy crust and texture light,
I love thee for thy flavor – buttery bright,
I love thee purely, syrup on the side,
I love thee with a passion only you provide,
