Breakfast for Dinner!
At the Original Pancake House in Denver, we believe breakfast is the best meal of the day. It seems like a shame to only have breakfast once per day, so sometimes we like to make breakfast again and treat our family to ‘breakfast-for-dinner!’ If you like to have your bacon and eggs multiple times a day, here are a few great breakfast-for-dinner recipes to try!
Breakfast Burritos - Easy and fun to assemble, these breakfast burritos will be a crowd pleaser! Choose your favorite fillings - eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns, potatoes, cheese and then offer a variety of fun toppings like green chile sauce or salsa. Best of all, you can have the whole meal ready and on the table in 15 minutes. Here is an easy recipe courtesy of the Pioneer Woman and Food Network. 
Chicken and Waffles - Sweet and savory flavors meld oh-so-well in this classic southern dish. Simply make your favorite waffles, pan fry a batch of chicken, and top it all off with syrup. Kids will love the idea of pouring syrup all over their dinner and adults will love the homey goodness! Try this tasty classic recipe from Grandbaby Cakes.
Corned Beef Hash - A perfect winter warmer, corned beef hash makes a great meal any time of day. To save time you can buy corned beef already prepared from your local deli. Then simply bake with potatoes and seasonings, and top with a runny egg. Yum! Try this recipe from Bon Appetit.

What Makes the Best Breakfast in the DTC?
If you live or work in the DTC chances are you’re going to be searching for the best breakfast at some point. Or perhaps you’ve already discovered that the best breakfast in the DTC is being served at The Original Pancake House. The idea of the “best breakfast” depends on who you ask. Some people think a hearty meal of bacon and eggs is the best. Others may want something sweet like pancakes or pastries. But if you ask the experts what makes the best healthy breakfast, they’ll tell you to be sure to include some of these items.
Protein. A good source of lean protein is the most important part of the best breakfast in the DTC or anywhere else. Eggs or egg whites are a great choice as are low fat dairy products like Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. You can also opt for a vegetarian source like tofu or peanut butter.
Whole Grains. The complex carbohydrates in whole grains like oats and barley will give you energy, fiber and fill you up. If you prefer whole grain cereals, be sure to look for varieties that are low in sugar.
Fruit. You may want to choose a small glass of unsweetened fruit juice, but whole fruit is a better choice because it contains fiber and is not processed.
Need a Healthy On-the-Go Breakfast in Cherry Hills?
You can never go wrong with eating a healthy breakfast in Cherry Hills, or anywhere else in the world.
It’s been established that starting your day with a healthy breakfast is always a good idea. But still, lots of people find themselves constantly skipping this meal. Now that it’s a new year perhaps you’ve made a resolution to eat a healthy breakfast every day. Here are some great, easy ideas to fuel you for a busy day that won’t weight you down.
Overnight Oats. Simply fill a jar (pro tip: use an almost-empty peanut or nut butter jar for extra nutrition and flavor) with oats, your choice of milk, and other ingredients such as fruit, chia seeds, nuts, coconut, and protein powder. Allow to sit in the refrigerator overnight and in the morning you have a healthy and delicious porridge. You can enjoy it cold or pop it in the microwave for a hot breakfast on-the-go.
Breakfast Quesadillas. You can fill these with an endless variety of ingredients. Scrambled eggs and veggies, almond butter and sliced strawberries, turkey and avocado, hard boiled egg and sliced tomatoes, or peanut butter and bananas. The only limit is your imagination!
Yogurt Parfait. Much like overnight oats, you can build these in jars and they are perfect for making in advance. Greek yogurt, berries and some toasted nuts make for a delicious and healthy breakfast packed with protein and complex carbs.
Healthy Muffins. Most muffins out there are really just a way to eat cake in the morning. But healthy muffins make for an excellent on-the-go breakfast. Simply make them with whole grains like oats and add ingredients like nuts, protein powder, and fruit to pack them with fiber, flavor and nutrition. You can sweeten them with a sugar substitute if desired, or just use a little honey or agave syrup for a natural alternative.
On those days where you feel like having a hearty and delicious breakfast in Cherry Hills, be sure to visit us at The OPH Denver!
