\"My<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve just read over a number of my recent blog posts and realize how heavy they\u2019ve become on food. Without realizing, healthy eating and how to achieve that, have become consuming passions. Now you ask, \u201cSo how can pancakes be your favorite hotel food?\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, I am\u00a0human after all. I travel a lot speaking at conferences, speaking as\u00a0a peer-mentor with the A1c Champions program and having a Dutch husband. That means I\u2019m often lodging in hotels. My favorite breakfast at a hotel\u00a0is not the all-you-can-eat buffet. I know I\u2019d eat more than I should and I\u2019m not interested in most of what\u2019s on offer \u2013\u00a0the breads, muffins, cold breakfast cereals\u2026Nope, I want two freshly scrambled eggs and one pancake.<\/p>\n

If I could I\u2019d wave a magic wand and make it a buckwheat pancake, trust me I would. But hotels have not gotten this far on the healthy breakfast spectrum. So buttermilk fills the bill.<\/p>\n

I order my meal\u00a0as two sides: Two eggs and one pancake. And most of the time after the strange look from the server, he or she becomes very\u00a0accommodating. And I\u2019m very specific, \u201cOne pancake please, no sugar, no syrup, no butter, no fruit.\u201d When it comes I remove the orange slice and parsley garnish, which always seems to be there, and sprinkle my pancake\u00a0with a little salt. A bite\u00a0of sweet, dense and chewy pancake with the warm egg is quite delicious. Really, try it.\u00a0Then, if the gods are smiling, I have time to head\u00a0to the hotel gym and bring down the outrageous blood sugar rise one pancake causes.<\/p>\n

Surfing this morning on\u00a0pancakes, this\u00a0recipe<\/a>\u00a0looks great if you\u2019re making them at home \u2013 no flour, but almond meal and flax seed. If I actually cooked\u00a0pancakes at home, I\u2019d be sure to try it. Somehow I just like to keep my pancake confined to hotels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
