I am a huge fan of eating pancakes at any time of day for any meal too! I feel that pancakes tend to get pigeon holed into being an only breakfast food. I think it is wonderful to experiment to add vegetables and fruits as a nice alternative to the normal pancake. I also really love buckwheat pancakes because they are gluten free and celiacs and women with candida can eat them. By adding veggies and fruits, it is a great way to “sneak” healthy foods into the pancakes, so that kids will be more apt to eat them. I am definitely going to try making the delicious sounding zucchini and corncake pancakes for dinner tonight!
I can remember when we were kids and when things got a little tight in the kitchen department we had pancakes for supper. We always had chickens so we had eggs with our pancakes. We thought we were in ‘hog heaven’ when we had pancakes for supper. So pancakes for supper is nothing, new since I am 70.
