			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsimplysavor.com%2Fthe-accidental-pancake%2F"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsimplysavor.com%2Fthe-accidental-pancake%2F" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p>If you asked me what my last breakfast ever would be, I’d respond without thinking twice: <em><strong>PANCAKES!</strong></em></p>
<p>But while I loove a nice, fluffy batch of perfectly stacked pancakes drizzled with warm maple syrup, the whole process sadly seems to be saved for special occasions.&#160; I blame the laziness of having to whip together a million ingredients (flour, oil, eggs, butter, etc.), or clean a ton of bowls/dishes… or perhaps my well-documented inability to flip food for the life of me (hence the inspiration for my <a href="http://simplysavor.com/eat-with-your-eyes-closed/" target="_blank">no-flip overeasy eggs</a>.)&#160; </p>
<p>Or maybe it’s also the fact that I tend to feel <em>starving </em>an hour after eating them.&#160; As the always clever <a href="http://www.fitnessista.com" target="_blank">Fitnessista</a> said so perfectly, “<em>Pancakes are like</em> <em>the sexy boyfriend with a lame-o personality&#8211; delicious, but lacking staying power.”</em></p>
<p>But not anymore!&#160; I’ve discovered the secret to making pancakes a <strong>satisfying, easy-to-flip, eat-everday-for-breakfast-without-the-guilt </strong>kinda meal…and it was completely by accident!</p>
<p>&#160;<a href="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_0416.jpg"><img title="IMG_0416" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="484" alt="IMG_0416" src="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_0416_thumb.jpg" width="364" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>While trying to make French toast one morning, I realized I only had Sandwich Thins for bread.&#160; As they were cooking on the stove, I almost gave up and threw them in the trash because I thought they were too soggy.&#160; But as the bread began to soak up the flavors, and I so easily flipped those slices without a mess—I realized I might be on to something here!&#160; </p>
<p>Pantoast?…Frenchcakes? Whatever you want to call it, they tasted <em>deee-licious</em> and took me only 5 minutes to make!&#160; But in the Simply Savor household, they’ve affectionately come to be known simply as <strong><em>Accidental Pancakes.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em></em></strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><u></u></strong></p>
<p><strong><u><font size="4">ACCIDENTAL PANCAKES</font></u></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_0417.jpg"><img title="IMG_0417" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="504" alt="IMG_0417" src="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_0417_thumb.jpg" width="672" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><u>Ingredients</u></p>
<p>2 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins=4 slices total (I prefer <a title="Pepperidge Farm Deli Flat" href="http://www.pepperidgefarm.com/ProductDetail.aspx?catID=994" target="_blank">Pepperidge Farm</a> or <a title="Arnold Sandwich Thin" href="http://www.arnoldbread.com/thins/" target="_blank">Arnold</a>)</p>
<p>2 Egg whites (or 1 whole egg) </p>
<p>Vanilla extract or sweetener of choice (ie: splenda or stevia)</p>
<p>Splash of low fat milk&#160; (optional)</p>
<p>Cinnamon to taste (I like a lot)</p>
<p>Pinch of salt</p>
<p><u>Directions</u></p>
<p>Whisk together last 5 ingredients into a small bowl.&#160; Dip slices of bread into the bowl until completely coated in egg mixture.&#160; Place on large skillet (sprayed with cooking spray) over medium-high heat.&#160; Flip after 30 second to 1 minute.&#160; Repeat until fully cooked (~2-3 minutes). Plate and serve!</p>
<p>+++</p>
<p>This recipe makes <strong><u>four</u></strong> French toast-flavored pancakes for <strong><u>less than 250 calories</u>&#160;</strong>and <strong><u>10 grams of fill-you-up fiber</u></strong> (only 3 ‘cakes seen above because I couldn’t wait to eat one before taking a picture.&#160; Told you they were good) <img src='http://simplysavor.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> &#160; Topped with some <a title="Smart Balance Butter" href="http://www.smartbalance.com/products/buttery-spread/smart-balance-omega-3-buttery-spread" target="_blank">Smart Balance</a> buttery spread and strawberry preserves, but the possibilities are endless…fresh berries, maple syrup, walnuts, nut butter, Greek yogurt, sliced bananas, mmmmm.&#160; </p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>Have you ever had an accidental kitchen mishap go terribly <strike>wrong</strike> right?</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>If you had to choose one breakfast food to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be?</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><em>Have a delicious day! <img src='http://simplysavor.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></p>

<p><em>Hi!!!      <br />LOVED getting a chance to chat on sat.&#160; xo       </p>
<p><strong>My all time favorite <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/semi-homemade-cooking-with-sandra-lee/index.html" target="_blank">Sandra Lee</a> tip (BTW I can&#8217;t stand her but this is a great idea).&#160; To steam veggies fast, wet a paper towel and ring out the water so it&#8217;s just damp.&#160; Then lay it over a bowl with the veggies. Microwave and the water from the paper towel creates steam and locks it in to perfectly steam veggies quick!&#160; With spinach I put a little sea salt and garlic powder, micro for 2mins and it&#8217;s perfectly steamed spinach, great, quick and easy side.</strong> </em></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.tylerflorence.com/" target="_blank">Tyler Florence</a> had an awesome tip for the perfect way to heat a tortilla, whenever I microwave them they get rubbery and when I bake them they get too hard so he says to lay them on the open flame of your gas stove for 15 seconds each side and it&#8217;s the perfect prep and gives it a little toast without becoming too hard.</strong> </em></p>

<p>I have to admit though, I am and always will be a Dunkin’ Donuts girl.  Their coffee brightens my day, and I’m a big fan of their healthy <a href="https://www.dunkindonuts.com/aboutus/breakfastchoices/" target="_blank">DDSmart</a> menu options (‘specially the Eggwhite Flatbread sandwiches).  <em>It’s the little things in life, people <img src='http://simplysavor.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </em></p>
<p>But then I saw this…(Warning: This is not part of the DDSmart menu!)</p>
<p><a href="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/image4.png"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" title="image" src="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/image_thumb4.png" border="0" alt="image" width="335" height="454" /></a></p>
<p><em>Fluffy eggs, melted cheese and cherrywood smoked bacon stacked between two maple syrupy waffles!?</em> Yes please!</p>
<p>I was intrigued, but <strong><em>not</em></strong> impressed by the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">23 grams</span> of fat (8 of them saturated!), <span style="text-decoration: underline;">1000 mg</span> of sodium, added sugars and barely-there fiber content.</p>
<p>So I decided to create my own – which ultimately made my stomach (..and wallet!) very happy.</p>
<p><a href="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_0231.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" title="IMG_0231" src="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_0231_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="IMG_0231" width="504" height="379" /></a></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: large;">Maple-Infused Eggwhite Waffle Sandwich</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></strong><br />
<a style="text-decoration:none;" href="http://springpadit.com/s?id=GDvXAyL5TEGGSHhd5UVbSA==&amp;p=f&amp;partner=simplysavor"><img style="border:none;" src="http://www.springpadit.com/external/images/button.springit.default.png" alt="" /></a><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: small;">Ingredients</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="font-size: small;">2 <a href="http://kashi.com" target="_blank">Kashi</a> 7 Grain GoLean Waffles</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="font-size: small;">2 egg whites</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="font-size: small;">1 <a href="http://laughingcow.com/" target="_blank">Laughing Cow</a> “Light” Cheese wedge</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="font-size: small;">2 slices low sodium Canadian or lean turkey bacon (optional)</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="font-size: small;">2 tbsp maple syrup (sugar free or regular)</span></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: small;">Directions</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: small;">Step 1: Toast up 2 waffles</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_0216.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" title="IMG_0216" src="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_0216_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="IMG_0216" width="504" height="379" /></a><a href="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_0218.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" title="IMG_0218" src="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_0218_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="IMG_0218" width="504" height="379" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 2:  Microwave 2 egg whites in microwave-safe bowl for 1 min 30 sec (or until fluffy)</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_0222.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" title="IMG_0222" src="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_0222_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="IMG_0222" width="390" height="521" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 3: Smear one side of waffle with cheese wedge, place egg whites on top and drizzle lightly with maple syrup (Note:<em> At this point, I realized I didn’t have any bacon, but feel free to add it to your sandwich!)</em></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_0227.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" title="IMG_0227" src="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_0227_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="IMG_0227" width="504" height="379" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 4: Slice and enjoy! </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_0230.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" title="IMG_0230" src="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_0230_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="IMG_0230" width="504" height="379" /></a></p>
<p><em>Hellloooo</em> deliciousness!</p>
<p>Only <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">320 calories</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">6 grams of fat</span></strong> (a whole lot better than DD’s 23g!), <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">6 grams of fiber</span></strong> (vs. DD’s 1 g), <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">500 mg less sodium</span></strong> (than DD) and <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">25 grams of filling protein</span></strong>.</p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>America runs on <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Dunkin</span> Simply Savor? Catchy no? <img src='http://simplysavor.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Question for you:</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>How do you curb your fast food cravings? </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Have you made any healthy recipes inspired by your favorite fast food menu items?</em></strong><br />

<p>&#160;</p>
<p><a href="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/image1.png"><img title="image" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" height="48" alt="image" src="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/image_thumb1.png" width="204" border="0" /></a> </p>
<p>Personally, I have so many recipes I’m dying to try but they tend to get lost in my 100-page long, embarrassingly disorganized Word document!&#160; </p>
<p><a href="http://springpadit.com/foodies" target="_blank">Springpad</a> is making my life a little bit easier now.&#160; They include features that allow me to organize my favorite recipes and wine selections (!), bookmark recipes and/or restaurants I want to try, even create meal plans, grocery lists, budgeting and partyplanning!&#160; </p>
<p>I’m a big fan if you couldn’t tell <img src='http://simplysavor.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p>++++</p>
<p>Here’s a screenshot example and <u>step-by-step</u> to show you how it works:</p>
<p><strong>Step 1: See a Simply Savor recipe you like… let’s take my <a href="http://simplysavor.com/better-eat-those-brussels-sprouts/" target="_blank">Bread n’ Bake Brussels Sprouts with Parmesan</a> for example <img src='http://simplysavor.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 2: Click the <a href="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/image.png"><img title="image" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="28" alt="image" src="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/image_thumb.png" width="88" border="0" /></a> button on the post</strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 3: Login/Register to your Springpad account (<em>it’s free!)</em>&#160;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 4: Start organizing!</strong></p>
<p>&#160;<a href="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/image2.png"><img title="image" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="312" alt="image" src="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/image_thumb2.png" width="504" border="0" /></a> </p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>Simple</strong>, right?&#160; I’m big on organization and <a href="http://springpadit.com/home" target="_blank">Springpad</a> also offers the following non-foodie features that I plan to take full advantage of:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><em>Organization</em></strong>
<p><em>Put your to-do lists in springpad and get rid of paper notes. Keep notes on anything. Set alarms to text or email reminders to you.</em></p>
</li>
<li><strong><em>Home</em></strong>
<p><em>Keep track of weekly chores and events. Track receipts and budgets, home remodeling projects, and your pet&#8217;s medical history.</em></p>
</li>
<li><strong><em>Travel</em></strong>
<p><em>Put your packing lists, hotel/rental car confirmation numbers, and Google Maps in one place. Keep track of places you want to visit.</em></p>
</li>
<li><strong><em>Business</em></strong>
<p><em>Keep track of projects, meeting notes, and budgets. Customize your own notebook the way you want it.</em></p>
</li>
<li><strong><em>Shopping</em></strong>
<p><em>Save products or gift ideas from any website and find them again later. Match gifts with your contacts. Store tracking numbers.</em></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>+ + +</em></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Hope you all enjoy this newest feature on <strong>Simply Savor</strong>!&#160; Keep an eye out for that <a href="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/image3.png"><img title="image" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="28" alt="image" src="http://simplysavor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/image_thumb3.png" width="99" border="0" /></a> button!</p>
