Carrot Cake Pancakes

By on January 9, 2015 in Breakfast and Brunch, Grain or Gluten Free, Paleo and Primal, Winter

Yes, I did just post a recipe for fried green tomatoes.  Is it my fault that there are so MANY green tomatoes?  This is a grain free, lower carb way to enjoy a kind of eggs benedict treat. The fried green tomatoes stand in for the typical English muffin, topped with poached eggs and an […]
