I’m pretty sure we’ve established I have aging issues.
As in, I really don’t want to do it. It’s not easy watching my skin slowly lose elasticity and my eyes develop bags the size of the Grand Canyon. My advice would be to avoid it all costs, which I hear is feasible if money is no object, nor a fear of injecting yourself with foreign substances.
Today is not about me though. It’s about Arman. His birthday was Sunday and while I wish I could have celebrated with him in style, a blog post will have to suffice since he’s all the way over in Australia, ya know, the other side of the map. While geography’s not my strong suit, I do know he’s super far away, which made birthday celebrations damn near impossible. I did pour one out on the floor for him though. It might have been accidental; it happened nonetheless.

Arman once ate cheese with every meal as a tribute for my birthday, which means he gets me in ways other bloggers don’t. He’s also just so happens to be my favorite male blogger, ignoring the fact he’s the only male blogger I know. Obviously, I need to get out more.
He tells me the things I want to hear; a wonderful quality in a good friend, and he gives me sound advice when it comes to my culinary creations. For example, he’s the pineapple in my newest granola flavor: Coconut Lime Pineapple. I find him, his blog, and his style of writing open, honest and refreshing.
So in honor of him, I will be eating (yes, again) some of his savory style pancakes. There’s enough hidden veggies in these things to fit a mac truck through. They also just so happen to be magically delicious.
Sweet Potato & Cheddar Pancakes
Happy Birthday Arman. I’ll pour a pancake out on the floor for you. And then pick it up and eat it because hello, five second rule.
Did you wish Arman a Happy Birthday on Sunday? Chances are he will accept belated wishes so long as they come in the form of gelato. Have you ever tried savory pancakes? They’re really, really, ridiculously good (looking), I promise.
I did!
All forms of pancakes are amazing in my opinion! Especially when having a ‘savoury pancake course’ followed by ‘dessert pancakes’ – best meal!!

These are some of the best savory pancakes. You can’t go wrong with either recipe.
I did! I sent him some dirty kisses via Twitter, cause he loves that.
And I NEED to get my hands on savory pancakes, fo real.
PS. I am having age issues.

Dirty kisses, I need to do that. Nice one Lucie.
We need to commiserate over a bottle of wine about our aging issues. Maybe some chocolate too.
I sent a twitter message….probably a day late….but I ate savoury pancakes at Purple Sage, so can we count that as a birthday present?

It definitely counts. We even talked about Arman when we saw them. In fact, I say you get bonus points for that one.
I’ve never had savory pancakes… I feel like I’m missing out.
(Also, this talk of really good food is not helping my mid-morning hunger…)

Mid-morning hunger is no Bueno and you are missing out on the savory pancake train. You need to try both of these recipes stat. Seriously they are some of my favorites!
You seriously referenced Will Ferrell in your post title.
And I dig that about you.
I’m heading to his blog now – I’ve never even been there!!

I love that you caught that. I was hoping someone would; I’m thrilled it was you. You always get my weird movie/tv references (wild card bitches).
WHOA savory pancakes. I need to veganize those bitches.

Um yes you absolutely do. They are super freaking delicious.
You are the solo French brie in a sea of Australian brie.
You are the lurpak slightly salted butter (Danish brand) in a sea of Australian butter.
You are the feta cheese my mum and sister are eating every morning in the sea of Australian Full Fat feta which goes rancid when ‘melted’ on a pizza.
You are the pesto to my parmesan when it comes to waffles, pancakes and the upcoming scone recipe.
What do you mean slightly salted?! 😉
I’m thrilled to be the pesto to your parm. Match made in savory foodie heaven.
Once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Arman…I ate plenty of buttah on your behalf :D!

That a girl!!
We did send him a birthday wish, remember? Vegemiteeeeee! 😀 It sucks that we couldn’t Skype him, though, but obviously he chose real life friends over us. Pft. Whatever. Next year we have to bully him into coming to Blend. Let’s start planning a kidnapping…

Also… love the Old School reference 😉

That is a fabulous idea. He really needs to be at Blend 2015; it would ensure my attendance certainly.
Who is Arman? Jokessss he’s obvs my brother from anotha mother and I cannot wait to marry him so he can get canadian citizenship. I feel used but I also am kind of obsessed with him so it’s okay.
Davida @ The Healthy Maven recently posted…Random Ramblings #14
He is your brother from another mother. I’m pretty sure it’s on the birth certificate too.
Pancakes with all the cheeses and birthday drinks?! You sure know how to celebrate in style. And if not at least you have great taste in movies 😉
Gotta love an Old School reference. It’s a classic.
Hahaha! That sign off! Five second rule INDEED! Hell, when it comes to pancakes, I’d give you 5 minutes…just dust that shit off and keep going! Lol
