National Pancake Day?

According to Hungry Girl, today is National Pancake Day. Now while I can't find anything online to back this up (IHOP gives away free pancakes on February 12, the day they call National Pancake Day), I'm willing to dedicate two days out of the year to pancakes. I love pancakes a lot.

My favorite places for pancakes? I'm glad you asked! I love the pancakes at Ria's Bluebird and World Peace Cafe. And, while I am not a fan of IHOP's pancakes, I do really like the pancakes at The Original Pancake House. (I guess that is why they are the original.)

The pancakes at Ria's Bluebird...yum!

I normally go for the plain stuff but the cranberries and oranges in
World Peace Cafe's Vegan Cranberry-Orange Pancakes are sooo good!

Birthday Pancakes, a quick bite

My favorite birthday treat is definitely pancakes, by far. I usually try to limit myself from eating pancakes when I eat breakfast out. But, on my birthday, I live it up!

Normally, I would go to Bluebird or Radial for some flapjacks but I was nervous about the Saturday morning brunch crowds. I remembered how World Peace Cafe serves breakfast and, sure enough, they have some pancakes on the menu - Vegan Cranberry-Orange Pancakes, at that!


I typically don't go for anything but plain pancakes but I was eager to try out World Peace's spin with orange zest and cranberries. My willingness to experiment with my taste buds was rewarded - those pancakes are delicious! The orange zest and cranberries were perfect together. For those that are scared off by the word, "vegan"; go ahead and continue to think vegan means tasteless. That just leaves more for me!
