Birthday Brunch & Burger Bach
Sunday was G-love’s birthday, so we had a big brunch at my apartment to celebrate.
I made a huge fruit salad, Galen made waffles, and we also had bacon, eggs, and mimosas. You know, typical brunch fare. Galen claims that the “just add water” pancake mix is the best (which might have something to do with the additional butter he mixed into the batter…) and we poured it right into the waffle iron. It’s not a recipe I can really share (other than, “hey, add water and butter to the mix”) but I have to admit, they did turn out pretty fluffy and delicious.
Later in the day, Lindsay and I decided to go check out the Food Truck Derby. The weather started out awesome, but after about 20 minutes of walking around, it started raining, and we high-tailed it out of there before we got to really try any of the food trucks. I’m sure there will be plenty of recaps from some other Virginia Bloggers, but I don’t have much for you!
Since we were still determined to get some food, we decided to try Burger Bach, a new-ish burger place in Carytown. They had a veggie burger (thank goodness) but they also serve grass fed beef and free range chicken, and some delicious looking fries, with various homemade sauces.
Their burgers are served with greens + herb vinaigrette which is awesome. My veggie burger was packed lentils and veggies, which made it tasty and filling, and all the toppings were organic, and the sauces are made in-house. For $8, this burger rivals Carytown Burgers and Fries, although that place will always have a special place in my heart.
So now the important question…
I’m a pancake girl myself..and you just reminded me that it’s been too long since I’ve had them!
Depends on the day!! I could never choose.
Waffles – a waffle maker will be one of my first purchases once we’ve moved! Can’t wait!
I say pancakes, but mostly because I don’t have a waffle-maker (plus pancake clean-up is easier). But pancake/waffle debate aside, I know we can all agree on mimosas! (And, while I love hearty whole grain pancakes made from scratch, there is definitely something delicious about a big old batch of bisquick+water).
Haha cleaning the waffle maker is the WORST!!!!
Waffles?? WHY DIDN’T YOU INVITE ME?
We all know that I bring the part before part B — Paaarrtayyyyy!

You know you have a standing invitation to my house π P.S. St. Louis trip plans are coming up!! I can’t wait for our forces to combine! The world will likely explode with amazingness.
Pancakes, hands down! But I might like waffles more if I tried the just add water mix π No brunch is complete without mimosas!
I like to make my own pancakes more, but I used to always order those big fluffy waffles when I was out at a restaurant for breakfast when I was younger π Those look great!
Pancakes. Totally. They’re more like cake… π
My family has never had a waffle maker, so I have never actually had homemade waffles! I guess I would have to choose pancakes then! Your waffles look amazing though, I think if I tried them my vote would go to waffles! π
Waffles all the way! They’re prettier than pancakes to me heehee π speaking of pretty, those waffles and that burger yall had look amazing mmmm
Have a great Monday!!
