Sunday Breakfast
08/16/09 Filed in: Breakfast
I love when I am off on Sunday. Lazy mornings and traditional breakfasts are an indulgence that we all need on occasion. Cultural rituals like Sunday breakfast feed not only our bodies but also our souls. There is definitely something spiritual in luxuriating with your spouse over the course of a morning. Carlos and I watch all the morning news shows and cruise through the Sunday paper. The cats take turns working on getting our attention and getting scratched. We don’t head out for Sunday brunch anymore. We just can’t eat enough to justify the prices. Besides, nothing tastes better than breakfast at home in your pj’s.
So this morning it was buckwheat pancakes with mango syrup and sliced bananas. I adjusted the pancake recipe for what I had available. This basically meant that it was all buckwheat flour versus a mix of flours and sugar was replaced with agave syrup.
My stepdaughter brought us a container of mangos from her freezer (from her tree) the other day. I sliced the equivalent of two mangos, added some honey and lime juice, and heated it through. I took the immersion blender and created a thick liquid. When the pancakes where done, I piled a few on each plate, sliced half a banana over each, and then spooned a generous amount of mango syrup over it all. My husband went back for seconds, so, in my book, that is a success
