Do you ever go in spurts of eating the same thing day in and day out for a week straight? I've been on a crazy bagel and lox kick this past week....onion and garlicky everything bagel with smooth mellow cream cheese, the perfectly ripe and juicy tomato, salty lox, spicy onions and just a bite of capers...kind of craving it all over again and I literally had this for dinner every night this week. Figuring I should probably move on to other food at some point before I begin smelling like a big fat salmon myself, I decided I'd continue the breakfast for dinner theme.
Pancakes for dinner is awesome. Fantastic. Delicious. A little citrus and berry pancake adds a bit of spring during the middle of a little winter deep freeze.
If you haven't tried pairing blueberry and lemon, well, you should. Trust me.
These pancakes are a little bit tart and a whole lot of bursting berry yum.

My mom makes the best blueberry and lemon muffins with a cream cheese filling. I love the two flavors together and this looks way easy to make and yummy!
ReplyDeleteOh and also love bagel and lox which I haven't had in six months. Guess I"m going to Einstein for breakfast this morning.
ReplyDeleteWe make blueberry pancakes almost every weekend and I've nver thought about throwing in some lemon. What a great way to spice up the flavors while still getting our bluberry pancake fix. I bet this would be great with blueberry syrup too! Thanks for sharing!
