Hop on Over
I’ve never believed that time of day should dictate what you eat. Naturally there are some health conscious exceptions. For instance downing a 16oz porterhouse steak and a box of Twinkies right before bed is a no-no. Traditional breakfast food is good anytime of the day and if you don’t want to fix it, finding a restaurant that serves it is a piece of cake. Or should I say hotcake? If you live near an IHOP, lucky you! They have the best pancakes in the world. And as is typical some of the offerings are coronary artery disease in disguise, while others are doable on a healthy eating plan. Don’t worry Cracker Barrel and Bob Evans aficionados, you’ll have your day in the sun soon.
