Power Protein Pancakes

 
 
Breakfast is BY FAR my favorite meal of the day. I love waking up slowly, making a pot of tea, and making a tasty breakfast. Fruit, quiche, chocolate-chip pancakes, mimosas.....cough...i mean....smoothies, good meat like bacon, sausage, or ham, granola and yogurt, potatoes (yes Dad, it's become a favorite of mine too), oatmeal and cereal, tea and scones, waffles, omelets, biscuits, oh man I could go on forever!
