Paleo On the Go: Original Pancake House, Boulder CO

I like to take my boys out for a breakfast treat on the Saturday mornings that I have them. This morning, at their request, we went to the Original Pancake House in Boulder, CO. As I looked at the menu I realized I would have to get creative to find something friendly with my Paleo palette.

I asked for the two egg platter with sausage links (I know the sausage isn't strictly Paleo, but I don't do open meals, and rarely eat processed meats).  The only problem was that they came with a stack of buttermilk pancakes - delicious, but not what I wanted.  I asked if I could substitute the cakes with a bowl of fruit.  They sacked me for an extra $2.50 to do so, but went along with my request.  The fruit turned out to be mixed with some canned peaches, which I just ate around since they spent most of their existence suspended in corn syrup.  The end result was $9 for eggs and sausage and small bowl of fruit.

Not my best Paleo dining experience, but I walked away knowing I could have put way worse into my body.
