Alonzo makes me think of Little House on the Prairie and Eloise makes me think of the children’s books, but they’re both great names for bikes!
Those pancakes look awesome, I’ll have to save this recipe for when my bf comes over and I make him breakfast :)
Pretty pictures!
I drive a Chevy Malibu, so of course I named her ‘Barbie’. And my old road bike that died in a car crash was named ‘steel beast’ because it was 30 lbs all steel. It was a good bike, it saved my life!
Those pancakes look DIVINE!! I think I have a craving now for breakfast-for-dinner…I love anything lemons, so this would hit the spot.
I always find that I flip my pancakes the best when I’m not even trying. Don’t even think about messing up the flip next time you cook some!
I am new to your blog but really enjoy your posts. I have that exact same strainer (no idea where it came from) and I LOVE it. It’s the best for catching lemon seeds. Happy Friday!
Nom!! I want some of those pancakes. Might have to make those on one of my breakfast-for-dinner nights. :)
My car is named Ribbie (as in RBI) since I’m a big baseball fan. Her first big roadtrip was across the state for a game, so it fit her perfectly.
Honored and humbled that you chose to make our pancakes. Thanks friend! A couple tips that we have learned over the years for making/flipping pancakes.
1. Make the first batch on the griddle a “test batch.” When I say “test batch” I mean eat a plate of pancakes before you eat your actual pancakes. :) The first batter to touch the griddle never looks right because the heat hasn’t been evenly distributed across the griddle yet. Your second batch will turn out looking perfect.
2. I’m not sure what you use for flipping, but we switched to using a big metal spatula for a couple years ago. Before that we used a plastic spatula, but it was just too flimsy. The metal spatula makes it easy slide under the pancake and flip. Ours is from the Pampered Chef )
Aaaaaand now I want some of those friggin’ pancakes. Thanks.
My car is named Civy (I drive a Civic)… not terribly imaginative :) And these pancakes look awesome. I have a lemon ricotta pancake recipe already that I love, can’t wait to make them again with some poppyseeds thrown in. Yum!
omg. i name everything! LOL (crazy, i know)
my car=alice
bf’s car=bella
buahahahaha. i was in a twilight phase at the time, can you tell ;p
Actually my cars tell me their names! Current one is a Focus named Celeste… “as in Celestial”, she told me :-)
hahaha that’s funny about alonzo and eloise. I guess it does match! omgshhhh I’ve loving anything and everything with lemon lately, and I love poppy seeds and I’ve been wanting this kind of pancake. looks delicious! ;)
omg, so we just got a new car a few days ago and i name all my cars. always have. so kyle and i had a SERIOUS naming session with this new one. it was hilarious…kinda like practice for baby names. only these ones were WAY more ridiculous. he wanted things like suzie the SUV. in the end we went with carson. its a silver CRV and they had to drive it to us from carson CA because there werent any in santa monica. what do you think?
My fiance and I have a couple of blue bikes and a blue car, so we have Big Blue, Little Blue and Baby Blue (because mine’s a lighter blue)! Also those pancakes look amazing. And I don’t even like pancakes :)
My first car was a Mercury Topaz, which I named Venus.
Those pancakes look delish!
These pancakes are next on my list to make – YUMMM – my favorite kind of muffin! My recipe uses apowdered sugar glaze over the muffins while warm – with a little lemon juice, almond, vanilla – I bet it would be awesome on the pancakes too! I saw the 1 cup Awesome recipe used a egg yolk – did you leave that out?
Kaycie – The egg yolk isn’t necessary. We added it for two reasons. First, it added a little of natural yellow color to the pancakes to give more of a “lemon” look. Also, it thickened up the batter a bit since the lemon juice thins it out. It’s kind of an optional ingredient :)
I quartered their recipe and didn’t want to quarter an egg yolk :) That’s the only reason why I left it out!
Please tell me you are going to buy a new bike seat?!! I believe your tush deserves better… :)
Yes, we name all our vehicles! Our current Ford Edge, is “Cliff”, our last car was black and looked fancy, so we called it “The Jag” – it made us feel rich :) And my car in high school was “The Bouncer” because the shocks weren’t so hot! ;)
Hahaha yes I am going to get a new one on Sunday :)
I always name our cars. One is Al (b/c it is an Altima) the other is Sue (b/c it is a Suburau). We previously had a Volvo that I named Maggie for some random reason. I think I do it b/c my mom always used to name our cars when we were little. We had a car at some time during the 80’s that was a talking car and it’s name (according to its voice) was Harvey.
My brother has named his Mazda 3 “Christine”. That car has been trouble since he bought it 4 years ago. He has…
1.t-boned someone coming out of a parking lot
2.it got hail damaged severely another time
3.it got side-swiped in a hit and run in a parking lot
4.the lawn guys at his apt complex were mowing and busted a window when a rock shot up and hit it
5.someone busted out his windows breaking into it!
Whew! I think that’s everything that car has been through-Haha, so def earned that name :)
oh my STARS I want those pancakes! I love lemon poppyseed bread !!
I love the Alonzo & Eloise story!! SO cute, and she looks like an Eloise! you made that bag? incredibly crafty – it looks store bought!
have a great weekend with Eloise! :)
I love your “new” bike! I need to buy one for myself as well! And the name! Eloise sounds perfect!
By the way, those pancakes look amazing! YUM!
I love interval runs!!! Just had a fantastic one this morning!! T
Those pancakes look divine!
Have a great evening!

Aww, cute bike :) You should come to The Netherlands, here everyone pretty much bikes every. single. day! My bike is named Juliet, after Juliet Burke from “Lost” haha! AND THOSE PANCAKES – oh my god. BRB wiping the drool off my keyboard.
I named my car, but my bike still needs a name. I think I struggled coming up with one when I got it last year.
I starred your post in my google reader so I can go back and make those pancakes this weekend! They sound delicious!
Enjoy biking around! I know I am trying to use my bike as much as possible because it is finally warm in the midwest!
Please tell us you will wear a helmet when you ride this bike.
Eloise is perfect! Congrats on your addition!
I’ve never named my car or bike, but maybe I should?!
Omg those looks phenomenal! I haven’t always liked poppy seed, but my mom got me hooked on it a few years ago. She goes to the church festivals and buys $70 worth of poppy seed bread at a time!
I have named my bike (Pink Panther) and my old car (Booger) :)
I’ve had 3 cars in my life (long story short, I didn’t start driving till I was 23). My first one was Mitchell after a former Cincinnati Reds player who was a little slow at rounding the bases (my car was a little slow in general!). I didn’t give my 2nd one a name (it died trying to take out a Lincoln Navigator), and my 3rd one is Junior. Car #2 was a 1999 KIA Sephia, and Junior is a 2000 KIA Sephia. I haven’t had a bike in probably 15 years now, although I’ve been thinking I’d like to get one again.
Hahhaha Eloise at the Plaza:) Also SEND ME SOME OF THOSE PANCAKES lemon poppy seed is my fave
I’ve never named a bike or a car, but I did name my Garmin watch (Jillian), my Roomba (Lexie), my vacuum (Rebecca), and my bread maker (Sadie). :)
These pancakes look amazing! I was all stoked after I saw your recipe to find that my fav local grocery store had Krusteaz on sale, then equally disappointed when they were out of stock… I’m off to scour the ‘net for recipe to make the mix from scratch. I love lemon poppy seed and can only imagine what the addition of ricotta does to the deliciousness!
And, I’ve never named any inanimate objects… maybe I should start?
i don’t name cars or anything but oh how i loved eloise! the books were great. :)
I have two bikes, both Specialized and both ancient. They have taken me many, many miles. The road bike remains unnamed, but the mountain bike/commuter is Brother Trucker after the legendary Des Moines rock band. I bought him for $60 in 2004, and he has never failed to please. In the spirit of Brother Trucker…Long live Alonzo and Eloise. We will see you on the trail!
What a cute name for a bike! Those pancakes sound so delicious and I will be making them pronto! Thanks for the recipe. :D
Pancakes looks great!! Yes, I am all about naming cars and bikes :) My bike’s name is Alice and my boyfriend’s bike is Frank!
I haven’t named my car/bike but I have namde my camera (Piere) , phone (Lola), and mp3 player (Betsy)…. :)
I haven’t named anything, but I know a lot of people who have :)
And have you ever made your own ricotta? Ridiculously easy and sooo much better homemade, yum!
My goodness those pancakes look delicious – I’m putting them on the menu for next weekend :)
I am a serial namer. I name everything from my car (Monty), my phone (Neville), my favourite treadmill at the gym (Burt), and one of my favourite men my life Ralph (my lap top).
Sure, some people think it’s a little weird – but I’m never lonely!
Also I love your blog, I am so happy to have stumbled upon a link from Clean Eating Chelsey and found my way here!
ohhhhh those pancakes look delicious. I must add them to the list of recipes to try!
So I’m on my way to Iowa (Cedar Rapids/Iowa City) and the weather forecast is not looking overly friendly. Is the sun shinning?! You have shiny sun in your photos…..
Growing up we had two vans, Bessie and Red Rover. They were good vans. :)
By the way, lemon poppyseed pancakes? Yum!
My boyfriend named his little green car “Hotness”.Obviously,he has a ‘thing’ for her.
hey! just found your blog via juice. anyway, i had to comment on the HAAN bag! just this weekend my dad & i ran the dam to dam & he shows up carrying my HAAN gym bag that i had made in 7th grade and hadn’t seen in years! it cracked me up that it was still floating around my parents’ house. (and apparently being put to good use! my dad said, quote: “this is a great bag! the perfect size!” apparently he hasn’t noticed that the handles are completely uneven.)
[…] Eloise looks way more expensive than $25 now, don’t you think? […]

I just made lemon pancakes and they were divine. Adding poppyseeds is brilliant! And shout out to a fellow Midwest blogger!
[…] Dad rides his bike a lot, and now that I’ve got Eloise and Ben has Alonzo (yeah – we found an Alonzo for $40!) we figured we’d definitely get some use out of it […]

My old car (RIP) was named the poomobile because it was a big brown old station wagon. How I loved that car! It was a beater but was so fun and took me on many cool trips. I just stumbled across your blog and have happily wasted many hours at work. It is great, thanks for such great recipies and stories! Love from Vancouver, Canada!
[…] her bike Maple. It’s totally not strange to do that… and by the way I love how Kristin from Iowa Girl Eats named her bike Eloise! I used to choose that as a fake name at a local seafood restaurant called […]
