Sunday

Sunday we took a walk. 

It was, quite literally, the very last few hours of nice weather for good here. 

It was 60 degrees, partly cloudy, and wonderful.

It was supposed to start raining that night and every day thereafter

just called for COLD. 

So, we totally checked out for a bit. Took a walk in the woods. 

It was nice. 

Until Griffin saw a group of boys driving their remote monster trucks through the woods. 

Then it became "why don't I have a monster truck to drive??".

Oh the drama. 

But all in all

NICE.

It has been 30 degrees since. 

Bring on the Holidays, hot cocoa, and Christmas music!

Let's play catch...up.

Hi. Remember me? Yep. It's been awhile. I can explain. 

Let's bullet, shall we? 

Since my last post...

* We moved from a crappy, tiny house in a nice neighborhood to a more spacious, better suited for us apartment in a crappy neighborhood.

* I left my day job at an art production company and got what I thought was a dream job as a baker at a little cupcake bakery. Turns out it wasn't such a great job.

I got fired.

* I got fired because......I'm pregnant! (Yes, I know that is illegal. There're a lot of issues there.)

 But did you catch that last part? I'm pregnant! And I believe this one just might stick around. 

This week marks 17 weeks and we couldn't be happier. 

So, new place to live, new job, no job, baby. 

Yep. That about covers it. 

There are some other exciting developments happening and I can't wait to tell you about them! 

In the meantime, enjoy this picture of Griffin in his Halloweenie costume!

Oh happy day!

Super Pancakes!

Just a quick and aaaaaamazing recipe to share with you today.
Protein Pancakes! 

I tried this recipe from a fellow IGer, Rosie.

It is now my go-to pancake recipe. 

Here's what you'll need:

1C oats

6 egg whites

3 scoops vanilla protein powder (I use Whey)

1 banana

Dash cinnamon

Dash pure vanilla extract

Blend in your blender until there are no lumps and it's nice and smooth. Not gritty.

Ladle out onto your griddle like regular pancakes!

I am horrid at pancakes. 

Seriously.

CanNOT do them. 

But these?

Perfect. every. time. 

And YUMMY! 

They taste like banana and cinnamon. 

I drizzle a little honey on mine and I'm good to go.

(I'm going to blend fresh raspberries in with the mixture next time!)

This recipe is clean and power packed with good stuff to fuel your body!

Now go make some of your own!
