Pancakes: My favorite food. Wait! I also like french toast...ok. So...
BREAKFAST: My favorite meal!
Oh...but a well-made Thanksgiving meal is heaven on Earth, so it's a close second.
Alright then, I'll sum it up like this: I adore food, all kinds. And so do you, that's why you're reading this!
I'm not the type that'll splurge on anything, really. Nearly everything I buy is on sale; material things just don't mean that much to me (unless it's an antique! My guilty pleasure = antique shopping...but that doesn't count, right!). I guess some would say that food doesn't matter; they'll say food is food, but I really can't say that. At all. Food isn't just food. If you're ingesting it, it should be good for you...and it should taste good too!
Some foods are extra special, though. Like buttery gluten-free pancakes with real maple syrup on top (Real maple syrup! The fake stuff doesn't taste half as good! Oh, and by the way, it took me forever to come up with a gluten-free pancake recipe! You'd think it'd be easy but it isn't!). And who doesn't love waking up to the smell of...stew! Yes, I bet you thought I was going to say pancakes! Of course I love waking up to the smell of pancakes, but I also love waking up to the smell of a lamb shank stew magically coming together in my crock-pot with leeks and onions and garlic and muscat wine and...
As soon as the aroma hits my nose, I know it's ready. It's been cooking for 8 hours, so the meat has to be tender. When my appetite's gotten the best of me,I jump out of bed to see if I'm right... yep, the meat is falling off the bone. Now I need to finish it off on the stove and add the final round of ingredients: tomato sauce, veggies, a few spices, and (of course) a little more time. 30 minutes of simmering does the trick.
This is a tasty stew, but you'll have to wait for lunch to try it because you've gotta try the pancakes first. Actually, nevermind! Eat the stew for breakfast and have the pancakes for dinner!

Your pictures look fabulous! I love pure maple syrup too. I feel like you can use less of it, because the taste is so great! This stew looks yummy!
Now I am craving stew once again! Yours look particularly delicious with the tender meat taunting me, ha ha.
I could eat breakfast for everymeal of the day! And real maple syrup is all you will find in my house! It is soooo expensive, but I cant stomach the that of the maple flavored high frutose corn syrup!
The pancakes and the stew look great, Sophie! I love the pictures on your post.
Sophie, the pancakes look fantastic! Love the photo!
Sophie, your gluten free pancake look perfect! Light and fluffy! You are really becoming quite the pro. And the stew looks fantastic too!

I was really wanting pancakes this weekend, but never got around to making any. :( But this stew sounds so delicious and comforting!
