Contest Results: Primal Breakfast Pics
Last week I asked you to send in pics of your Primal breakfasts. Nearly 100 fantastic photos flooded my inbox. I’ve included them all below. (Click on the thumbnails for full size versions.)
These photos stand to represent the variety of breakfasts on the Primal eating plan and how delicious Primal foods are. I know many people find the breakfast to be the most difficult meal to figure out when making the transition to the Primal lifestyle. Many of us grew up on Frosted Flakes, Pop Tarts, English muffins, waffles, pancakes and toaster strudels as early morning staples. As you can see, it doesn’t have to be that way.
Revisit this page from time to time for Primal breakfast ideas, and point skeptical friends and family to this page to see their mouths water.
I’ve randomly selected a winning photo. The lucky MDA reader that submitted the photo has just won 5 gallons of fat from U.S. Wellness. Yes, you read that right. 5 gallons of fat – beef tallow to be precise. And the lucky winner is…
Tamara!
You’ve got to love Tamara’s email message that accompanied her winning photo (seen above):
Venison sautéed in bacon grease with roasted pearl onions and garlic, with a side of local organic (and HUGE and SWEET!) blueberries.
And oh yeah, I found a BULLET in my meat!! That definitely creates a rather primal impression at breakfast. I didn’t shoot the lovely animal who has provided me with many, many meals, but I’m sure going to have to show my dad what I found in his kill!
Warm regards,
Tamara

you know readers have some nice dishes to go along with their breakfasts
These photos are so inspiring! I’m glad to see my most of my fellow PBers eat hearty bfasts like me …and the empty plate made me laugh…as did the 6 fried eggs!
Congrats Tamara! And wow everyone, can I come stay?!
Daniel Swank, I’m curious about your (seemingly empty?) Phantom of the Opera mug!

Well it was full of coffee (before I drank most of it).
I prefer not to eat breakfast; my body does not take kindly to attempting digestion before noon.
Argh, hungry now!
It’s so fun to look at these pictures… but…
I sent you 2 pictures of my breakfasts and you didn’t post either one. Does that mean you didn’t get my email at all and I wasn’t entered in the contest? How will I know if you got my other emails? I used the link that you had in the original challenge post.
one was here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/elegantemily/3822976973/

FlyNavyWife,
Rest assured your photos were included in the drawing. The photos included don’t represent the photos that were included in the drawing; just those that we had time to add to the post before its publication time. We’re going to be adding the rest later today. Thank you for your submissions!
Thanks Mark. You made me feel so much better just now. haha.
THis is great Mark…you should come up with a Primal Lifestyle dating/social networking site….
I second this idea! Hook us up!
lol….see you got one started already…
The coffee and the smoothie made me giggle.
This all looks soooo yummy!!
The empty plate cracked me up – IF’er, huh?
I’d love to get some of those pictures’ recipes, though!
Wow, whoever put all those images together on this page did a great job! What a variety of breakfasts…I may come back to this page periodically when I need a new idea for breakfast!!
Is there any way to get a list of what the breakfasts are? I can get a description by clicking on each picture but that’s rather time consuming to do one at a time. Or could the captions be added to the thumbnail photos?
Awesome photos – whole chicken for breakfast, got to love that!
That’s me
I think my head might explode if I stay on this page any longer.
Nom nom nom. This is making me SO hungry!
Everyone looks like such good cooks! I usually just have some eggs and my homemade sausage.
There’s some nice ideas there!
Yum yum yum!!
Man, I’m so hungry now….
Great pictures, all of ‘em. Congrats Tamara!
Where’s mine? *pouts*

Hello Girl Gone Primal,
Just like Fly Navy Wife you were included in the drawing but I’m still working on getting all the photos uploaded. Expect to see it soon!
Wow!! I can’t belive I won! Thanks Mark and U.S. Wellness. Might have to make that my lucky bullet now.
My dad is just FLOORED by the way!
wow! truly amazing! great food CAN be good for you.
how do you make the primal pancakes?
Here’s my recipe – http://girlgoneprimal.blogspot.com/2009/05/four-shows-down-four-to-go.html
Grind a cup of almonds in food processor until a fine flour is formed. I buy mine pre-ground. Then in a medium bowl, combine 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, and 1/4 cup of sparkling water. Add the almonds and stir until smooth. Add a little salt or cinnamon etc to taste. A little baking powder can fluff up the pancakes if you don’t have any sparkling water. I don’t use either, so my pancakes tend to be a little heavier – the mix still bubbles so it’s still lighter than cake.
I served these with whipped cream (no coconut cream), the leftover strawberries, and some defrosted raspberries and subsequent juice. For Valentine’s Day I also melted a bit of dark chocolate and drizzled it over the fruit. Sweet.
Enjoy!
You should try topping your primal pancakes with (whole-fat) greek yogurt & a berry reduction (1/2c frozen berries, 1tbs water, 1tbs honey – heat on med/low, mashing them periodically until sauce-like).
thanks for the recipe, primal girl. i’ll give them a try this weekend, they look great.
i tried the pancakes yesterday, they’re really great. they taste like a coconut macaroon! last time i tried the greek yogurt it was pretty gross, hopefully the berries and honey will help. thanks for the tip.
