We made breakfast for dinner. There were a bunch of components. First the pancakes. We followed a recipe for red-velvet pancakes with a bunch of changes including egg-whites, Smart Balance for butter, splenda for sugar and almond milk+1 Tbsp lemon juice for buttermilk. The pancakes were somewhat flavorless but then again, how flavorful do pancakes tend to be anyway. I will copy or link to the recipe when I get it from Meredith.

I totally made up the cream cheese icing as I went. I basically used a whisk on fat free cream cheese and added some almond milk and splenda until it was good. I started it in the stand mixer but the quantity was too small so once it was more smooth, I finished it by hand. You could tell it was made with fat free cream cheese but it fulfilled its purpose. Maybe next time I will actually look at some recipies to adapt. I think I should have added some corn starch to make up for not using powdered sugar.

The potatoes were pretty much my standard home fries. I microwave the small potatoes cubes for about two minutes then I add them to the pan. I toss very frequently. When I am making them just for myself, I use a frying pan so I can toss really easily.Because this was a bigger batch, I used the sauce pan (I think thats the one) and was not able to toss as well. I do not know if it is related or not, but they were a bit mushier than usually. I usually let them get pretty crispy. Towards the end, I add salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme.

We did not make very much gimme lean because we had a lot of food but we wanted some protein. We just did that on the stove.
