You’ll Flip Over These Sweet Pancake Recipes!

Sweet Potato Pancakes

I ran into an “arch nemesis”* I’ve had, since I was running around in Huggies, the other day at the grocery store.

Literally… Ran into.

I caused a bit of a scene, actually. A few tomatoes sadly met their demise.

Clearly I am as suave as a bat.

Anywho… This “enemy” of mine, with a rather interesting orangy-brown tan, I might add, just stared at me, with what seemed like an almost terrified expressionAs if I might attack.

Scared-Sweet-PotatoMy facial expressions CAN BE quite petrifying so I really cannot allocate any blame….

Rest assured, though, for I was NOT being filmed for an upcoming episode of Bad Girl’s Club. In fact, I am truly not one to ever experience confrontation in my life, and to be honest, after all these years of us not being on “speaking terms”, I sort of forgot why there was so much animosity to begin with.

To rectify this situation of ours… I invited my long time foe over to where THE MAGIC HAPPEN (ahem, my kitchen people, MY KITCHEN) so I could attempt to chuck out this bitter taste I’ve had in my mouth for years!

I also really wanted to know the tanning salon my “antagonist” frequents so I could write a 1-star Yelp Review, cause you know… Yelp Elite status holds clout.

And I mean… Where’s a better place to get rid of an unpleasant flavor in your mouth than… In the kitchen?

Luckily my invitation was very well received… And we wound up making some SWEET recipes that my now confidant is pretty savvy with!

I yam insanely impressed and hopefully all of you will be too! 

Sweet, Sweet Potato Pancakes

Sweet-Potato-Pancakes-Sweet

This is sweet! 

  • Combine all ingredients into a blender and whirl away.
  • Grab a non-stick skillet and turn on your burner to medium high heat.
  • Spray your pan with non-stick spray (for extra non-stickiness) and pour your batter into the pan. You can make one giant pancake for several little ones. I made three… It’s my lucky number!
  • Cook cakes for roughly 5 – 7 minutes per side. Keep your EYE ON THEM or else you will burn then! If you walk away to attend to something else…. You. Will. Burn. Them. 
  • Plate and chow… Or throw into a plastic bag and out the door you go!

Sweet Potato PancakesSavory, Sweet Potato Pancakes 

Sweet-Potato-Pancakes-Savory

  • 1/2 Sweet Potato
  • 1/4 Lbs Ground Grass-Fed Bison
  • 1 Bunch of Spinach
  • 1/2 – 1 Tbs Greek Seasoning

Savor these cakes…

  • Combine all ingredients into a food processor and pulse continuously until all ingredients are blended.  
  • Grab a non-stick skillet and turn on your burner to medium high heat. 
  • Spray your pan with non-stick spray (nothing makes me madder than when 1/2 the food stick to the pan!!) and place your meat pancakes into the pan… You can make a monster cake or several little ones. 
  • Cook cakes for roughly 5 – 7 minutes per side. I personally like to cook for less time because bison medium-rare is perfection! 
  • Plate and serve with sugar-free ketchup or…… A sunny-side up egg… Or throw into a plastic bag and jet to wherever you need to go! 

So Tell Me…

  • How confused are you about who my “enemy” was? Or did you catch on?
  • Do you know the difference between Sweet Potatoes and Yams?
  • How do you like to chow down on those sweet taters?
  • Is there a food you used to hate for years upon years but now you love it?
  • What food can you just NOT look at without it making you want to gag?

*I really do not have any enemies, so this story is a TINY BIT fabricated!
