I rarely make breakfasts. There are two reasons for this:1. I don't really like breakfast. This is probably the biggest of my two reasons, because since I don't typically enjoy breakfast food I don't really see a reason to make it.
2. I don't really have time in the mornings. During the week I do force myself to eat, but I usually only have time for either a bowl of cereal, oatmeal with some fruit on top, or a smoothie of some sorts.
What inspired my breakfast this morning?
One of the things I've been trying to do in this blog is participate in different events put on by different foodies across the blogging universe. Today's breakfast was inspired by the movie that Food 'n Flix has picked for the month. The idea of Food 'n Flix is to make a dish based off of a chosen movie. This month's movie was No Reservations. AND this month's Food 'n Flix event is being hosted by Kahakai Kitchen.
Why pancakes?
The movie is totally NOT about pancakes. No Reservations is about a gourmet chef who has to learn how to feed a child, her niece who moves in with her due to unforeseen circumstances.
At the end of the movie she FINALLY figures it out. And then, there are pancakes and happy people across the board.
And me personally? I would much rather eat pancakes.

Pancakes are an excellent choice for the movie. I'm like you I am not a huge breakfast fan (unless someone makes it for me of course) but your pancakes look fantastic.
