\"\"Not long ago, I very proudly announced 1.000 Likes of the Anja’s Food 4 Thought Facebook page. To be exact, that was in November 2012. By then, I had blogged for more than three years.<\/div>\n

Today, only 6 months later, I have reached 2.000 Likes. That is just amazing.\u00a0Thank you!
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

I am especially proud of this number because I never forced anyone to “like” me on FB by participating in competitions or give-aways. In fact, I only had one give-away ever on my blog. Some of you may remember it: it was a one-print cookbook with recipes of mine. Someone in America won it. I sent it off with registered mail, but sadly it never arrived.<\/p>\n

These 2.000 Likes are as organic as can be.
\nRegular readers may have noticed, I am pretty unsocial when it comes to social media. I hardly ever have more to say than the announcement of a new recipe on the blog. My twitter tweets are automated too. I actually never go onto twitter. Because I can’t deal with so much useless information. I sometimes struggle to wade through my emails, many of them of no use or real or personalized information either. I also don’t have a smartphone.<\/p>\n

I see people on their phones all the time. I see couples in restaurants and cafes. They don’t talk to each other, as each one is busy with their phone. I always wonder what they are checking. It cannot seriously be life-or-death information that’s coming in on a constant stream. Or is it?<\/p>\n

Why on earth would you be rather checking your FB page or your emails than talking to your partner or friend that you are meeting for lunch? Call me old-fashioned, but I don’t get it.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/b>Therefore, and perhaps this is even why some of you like my blog and FB page, I will keep my information output on Anja’s Food 4 Thought and my FB page for real and relevant information. This is a recipe blog after all. I will not post on my blog if I don’t have a recipe. I will not post on FB just to ask how you are today or what you are having for lunch. Imagine all 2.000 of you would reply…. I’d probably realize that I don’t really want to know. <\/b>
\n
\n<\/b>Perhaps I should have had a chocolate cake recipe to celebrate the 2.000 Likes. Instead I am presenting to you a real successful paleo pancake recipe. It’s filled with cauliflower and broccoli. It’s holding together beautifully with a mixture of eggs and coconut flour. It is very satisfying and light at the same time. It’s very quick and easy to make. It can be extra refreshing with a yogurt dip and a salad on the side.\u00a0<\/b>
\nThese pancakes will surely be one of my lunchtime staples over the summer. Enjoy!
