If Stampede breakfasts are your thing...

then do I have the breakfast for you to try. Unfortunately you will have to wait until next year to try it but anything good is worth waiting for, right? ahem. 

Every year we go to a couple of Stampede pancake breakfasts, because it is a pretty fun atmosphere.

( Even if you do wait in line for decades just to get a plate full of greasy food). But this year, my friends, I did my research. This year with my handy little iPhone app "The Flapjack Finder" (you heard me) I found what we like to call the Healthiest, Greenest Pancake Breakfast in Calgary. And this time, although we still waited what seemed an entire lifetime, we ended up with a plate of all natural organic food. And I'm not done:  there were two pancake choices, gluten free or whole wheat flaxseed. And all natural, grain fed pork and beef sausages.There was real maple syrup, but there was also flavored flax oil. There was fair trade coffee and there was real fruit juice. And it was all free and it was all very tasty! 

What's the runny stuff on the side, you ask? That's the flavored flax oil. And yes, I do realize that this picture actually does not look like tasty food.

The breakfast was hosted by Community Natural Foods and I believe some other local sponsors such as Spolumbos and Cochrane Coffee Traders. It was a waste free event as you could bring your own reusable dishes and they provided compost-friendly disposable stuff. And everything was solar powered. How great is all that? Pretty great, if you ask me. So if you're in Calgary, say next July, I highly recommend!
