“Whoever you are, I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.”
Tennessee Williams wrote that into A Streetcar Named Desire, and I was reminded of it this afternoon as a complete stranger tried to put his fist through my car window. I wasn’t anywhere close to hitting anyone and was moving all of a mile an hour, but it was my own fault for not yielding to a pedestrian in a crowded parking lot. I did what I do best…burst into tears and kept going.
On that note, I’d like to offer a hearty breakfast recipe…it was inspired by what little foodstuffs I have leftover in the hotel room and my feeling sorry for my Liddle Griddle for so little use in the last six months. I shit you not, this thing made my life in Iraq worthwhile. When I wasn’t stuffing my face with almond butter soaked oatmeal, it was Pamela’s pancakes.
Pumpkin Flax Pancakes with Blueberry Compote
(Serves 2-3)
1/2 c Almond Meal
1/4 c Flax Meal
2 Eggs
1/4 c Coconut Milk
1/4 c Pumpkin
1/4 t Vanilla
1/4 t Cinnamon
Pinch Salt
2 c Blueberries
For the pancakes, combine everything except for the blueberries and let rest for 10 minutes or so (I like the flax to gel, as it creates a better texture). Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side over medium heat (350 degrees).
For the topping, toss the blueberries in a bowl and microwave for about 30-45 seconds until they burst and bubble a little bit. Classy, huh?
Perfect recipe to use up leftover pumpkin and coconut milk tomorrow morning!
My thoughts exactly! Let me know how they turn put for you!
These look amazing! 🙂 I want some for breakfast tomorrow! http://www.gigieatscelebrities.com
