HARVEST PALEO PANCAKE PERFECTION

I know you are shocked for your own eyeballs that you are actually reading a new blog post from me!  Sorry for  my absent-ness.  I am still cooking my fool head off and creating everyday.  Anyone who has blogged, knows it is a time consuming hobby.  I do truly love sharing with you all, but sometimes it just comes down to time.  And  other times, I cannot lie, I am just too darn hungry to take pictures, write down ingredients ect.  So it's a continuous cycle of trying to find the perfect balance.  Very much true to everything in life....Correct?

Today, my two pooch side kicks and I are snugged up.  Missing hubs big time!  He is away in Chicago for the week working a trade show.  Much work and planning on his part has went into having a booth at the show.  Wouldn't you know, that last Tuesday rolled around and Larry woke up sick as a dog!  WHAT!?!  He next to NEVER gets sick (maybe once every 3yrs.).  Well a nasty, nasty bug struck and it struck hard....laying him up in bed for 2 straight days.  I have a feeling it would have been longer but with a full plate for the show, you can't keep a good man down.  So I have been trying to help anyway I can to lighten his load and get him back to good.  We (me & pooch's) wished him well this morning and sent him on his south way!  GO Larry!  In the meantime I am hosing this germ shack down & praying to God I don't get struck  next.  I am telling myself that this strong Paleo immune system can't be touched.  It's all about the power of intention right?

Today I made myself a delicious breakfast and am planning a week of meals for a table of 1.  Unless of course, you would like to come over and I'll cook for you?  Ok, I am pretty sure I am boring you beyond words so without further ado....
