Sunday Simplicity

Awww Sundays......you are so good and simple! Today the hubs and I slept in (sleeping in is 6am to me, LAME I know). We enjoyed way to much sushi and wine last night but totally worth it. hehe!

Anyway, today is an active recovery day for moi and the hubs had a long run. I decided to take advantage of mom and dad time and convinced them to meet me at the green belt for a little hike with the pups. It was wonderful!


I beat the husband back home and decided to surprise him with some yummy post run breaky. I just have to say thank you ALYSON for this simple protein pancake recipe. I added more fixins to the batter. The results.....simply irresistible. (had to throw that line in there, haha).

Simple Low-Carb Protein Pancake (Gluten Free)


1 scoop of your favorite low-carb Protein Powder (I used Life Basics Vanilla)

3 tbsp Egg Whites

1/2 tsp Cream of Tartar

1 tsp almond extract

Dash of almond milk

Cocoa Amazing Grass Super food

Blend everything together with a hand mixer, then bake like a regular pancake stove top

Topping:
Spread Sunflower Nut Butter of pancakes when warm. Then combine orange marmalade, Daisy cottage cheese, cinnamon, orange zest, and pour on top. I also drizzled them with a little Agave nectar.




Now I am ready to conquer some laundry before we head off to church!

Cheers and Happy Mother's Day and Pancake Sunday!
