My go-to lunch is a chunk of meat cooked up with some vegetables on the stove. At the moment, however, we are deep into summer and I really havent been feeling like pushing food around over a hot stove at noon. Furthermore, It is not always convenient to be home at lunch time. If youve been eating primal for any length of time I am sure you have come to know the elusive nature of the on-the-go lunch in a life without grains. Sometimes a sandwich would be really handy, and I dont mean one where a big saggy piece of lettuce is the bread because thats just depressing.

I came to learn of the green eggs and ham sandwich from Krista Schauss blog. Krista is an amazing individual. In addition to being an ex-police officer, she is BOTH a competitive bodybuilder and powerlifter from Toronto. (By the way, anyone else notice there seems to be a disproportionate number of people from Toronto with strength training websites and blogs Why is that. She is owner of Defining Edge Fitness which offers an intriguing service called Biosignature Assessment. Apparently they can analyze your hormone levels and make individualized training and nutrition recommendations based on the results. Anyway, Kristas recipe calls for oats. I substituted shredded coconut as a thickener and then threw in cup of raw almonds for good measure. The result is a substantial bread-like patty that holds together really well.

You can easily whip up a batch of these in the morning or on the weekend. This recipe will make 6 pancakes enough for 3 sandwiches. My kids will actually eat these hot of the skillet as if they were regular pancakes if I put some maple syrup on them! You can also make a big batch and keep these in a plastic baggie in the fridge. Use them for sandwiches, hamburgers, or even just as a convenient snack. I havent tried this yet but I think theyd be fabulous with just a little almond butter spread on top.
