Seize the pancake
Hi friends 🙂 How are you? Hope you’ve had a great morning so far <3
Madre’s bday dinner was a blasty 😀
I wore the red new Loft dress with my eyeball bracelet
(and had to go back inside to get my wedding ring)
We were serenaded by mariachis (the best I’ve ever heard at a restaurant.. and they played Piel Canela, my fave)
Mexican food was feasted upon
(Trev had an entire cauldron of seafood, meet and cheese)
and there were family, friends and cake.
And then we all went over to madre’s house, where I fell asleep on the floor with my Snoogle. I call that a good night <3
It’s funny because lately all I’ve wanted is salty and savory food, but pancakes sounded sooooooo good this morning.
So pancakes it was 🙂
I made a gluten-free mix with:
-1/4 C brown rice flour
-1/2 T brown rice protein (I’m out of Sun Warrior.. wahhh)
-cinnamon, pinch of sea salt, 1 t vanilla
-1 egg white
-almond milk to thin it out
-1 T coconut
and cooked them in organic butter, topped with mini chocolate chips + a drizzle of maple syrup.
Perfection.
We’re off to walk Bell, hit up the mall to see if Aldo will exchange my broken sandal and visiting my great-grandmother.
Have a wonderful day and I’ll see ya this afternoon with this week’s Summer Shape Up grocery list and meal ideas 🙂
xoxo

WOOO thank you for that recipe!! I am so ready to make this for lunch 🙂
You look beautiful in the dress! haha I can tell you’re glowing even more cuz youz is pregnant! 😀
One Q! have you tried Boku protein powder? If so, how does sun warrior and boku compare in your opinion? And I’ve never heard of Piel canela but I love the meaning of the title and I’ll look it up–love latin style music.
i haven’t tried it but i’ll be on the lookout
check out the edie gorme version- so beautiful!
You look cute in red! (and with your new purse, right?)
The pancakes look delicious! I love how the mini choc chips are starting to melt in the picture. Yum.

Just read the article about sprouts. Def think I need to buy a sprouter and never buy them from the store again.
it’s so easy (and inexpensive) to sprout from home, too
cute dress!
i love mariachi bands, they make mexican restaurants a bazillion times more fun!

Your Madre’s cake looks neat with the squiggly icing all over it! Glad you had a good night – here’s hoping Aldo gives ya a new shoe!
i hope so too!
You are exactly right, Gina.
Somedays you just have to seize the pancake.
I bought a handbag from Aldo accessories and the strap broke, and they exchanged it no prob. They were really nice about it, actually. It was past the return date but I had my receipt and wasn’t mad or rude to them at all either so that probably helped 🙂
I just bought a Jack LaLanne juicer today and I am so pumped! I’m about to watch the instructional DVDs, lol. I need another post all about juicing! What are good fruits to use that cover up vegetable taste?
The pancakes look amazing!
Mini chocolate chips are so much fun! Great looking pancake recipe. Pancakes are the bomb 🙂
Love that dress! Red is totally your color!
Your mom is so young! Glad her b-day was fun for everyone!
That red dress looks gorgeous on you!! Looks like you had such a fun time at your mom’s b-day dinner too! Enjoy the rest of your weekend…:)
thank you 🙂
Great dress! Vavoom!
I also had pancakes today, just the best on a Sunday. 🙂
Have fun with your great grandmother!
Even though the pancakes look faboosh, that dress is definitely the star of this show/post!!
Can’t wait for my own date night for Mexican shortly, yours has me salivating already!
😀
Mmm those pancakes look amazing. I grew up having homemade pancakes pretty much daily (I was a lucky kid 😉 ), and now that I’m living away on my own, I can’t seem to bring myself to whip up a batch just for myself. I love that you added chocolate chips though- best part!
Cute dress! And thank you for this recipe, it’s a must-try for me 😀
Holy pot of food! They definitely don’t believe in proper food portions.. but hey that makes for GREAT leftovers!
Those pancakes look great! Sunwarrior has become my new fav vegan protein (I just had a poor experience with another popular brand today…)!
Yum, I’m always open to a new GF pancake recipe!! CUTE dress!
Those pancakes do look especially good! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
You are glowing!!
I have an eyeball bracelet too, says it wards off the evil eye! Hm, I’ll believe it! 🙂
Your mom just turned 50?! I’m only 16, and my mom is 49 and my dad is turning 51 on Friday! Wow!
I had pancakes this morning, too… you’re so conservative with the syrup, haha… I dump half the bottle on mine! Loveee soggy pancakes.
she’s a young thing for sure 🙂
Hi, thank you for sharing this pancake recipe! They look so delicious!
Is the 1 T coconut mean shredded coconut or coconut oil?
shredded 🙂
aww, i love evil eye / eyeball jewelry!
