I'm so excited for tonight. I worked extra hard at the gym this morning to put some calories aside. What are you all putting on your pancakes? I'm thinking of going with:

Savoury - Spinach, mushroom and ricotta
Sweet - Nutella and Banana

I might also have half of a traditional lemon and sugar because it has to be done. I feel like a kid again!

Also do other countries do pancake day or just the UK? I know some countries in Europe do 'Fat Tuesday' what do you eat on that day if you're from one of those countries?

    Love the sound of your savoury pancake. And Nutella/banana is such a tasty combo :smiley:

    I will be making sweet pancakes, unfortunately I wont be able to use Nutella today as the kids I'm making them for, some have nut allergies...but we will do lemon juice and sugar or some butter/jam. I will enjoy a few pancakes hot off the pan, nothing better :smiley: and like you I've done a 5 mile run this morning so I'm sorted for extra calories :smiley:

    Here in the US we're celebrating Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday. Pancakes with the traditional link sausage with plenty of real maple syrup. Yummo!!!

    I'm doing chicken in white wine sauce (it's a cook-in sauce, nothing fancy) in spinach pancakes and then Black Forrest Gateaux style (chocolate pancakes, morello cherries in thick syrup, and vanilla ice cream).

    MrsStealthHealth's dad always cooked her traditional pancakes with lemon and sugar, so I'll make her a couple for supper in memory of him.

    @StealthHealth I agree both courses sound so yummy! My boyfriend is having pancakes for lunch and dinner but I think that's taking it too far! :D

    With my homemade blackberry jam for dessert,
    and savoury Parma Ham with grated dutch old cheese.
    How many calories per pancake ?
    Bon Appétit

    depends on the size of pancake and the amount of filling. Plug in the recipe to the recipe builder here and see what MFP comes up with.

    In my home every Sunday is pancake day. These days the toppings are usually Greek yogurt, fruit, and a glaze. @jgnatca on Instagram.

    I ate half a tub of nutella and still managed to hit my calories for the day (this is not a brag at how high my TDEE is).
