Pancakes For One

Posted: November 7, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: breakfast | Tags: , , , , | 1 Comment »

Today was pancake Sunday and these did not disappoint!  I used OSG recipe for spelt pancakes as my base, but added cinnamon and flax and subtracted the protein powder.

  • 1/2 cup spelt flour
  • generous dash of cinnamon
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tbs baking powder
  • 1 tbs ground flax
  • 1/2 cup skim milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Makes about 5 small pancakes.

I topped my cakes with pb, banana, POM arils and chia seeds.

I love that POM is in season right now!  They are so tart and pop in my mouth with a slight crunch.  I also love the nuttiness of spelt flour in these pancakes, it gives them and extra flavor level!IMG_0410

Do you take the time to make something special on the weekend?

The Egg and The Monster

Posted: May 6, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: breakfast, Thursday | Tags: , , , | 2 Comments »

Good Morning!  No holiday to celebrate this morning except maybe that it is almost Friday?  It is also the last regular season kickball game before playoffs start and we are hoping to take home the silver Coors cup this year.

I had to start off with some super fuel for breakfast.

001

I almost duplicated yesterdays breakfast but my monster was smaller with a side of banana bread bar.

002 Runny pollet eggs on toast.

003 Green Monster with…

  • spinach
  • mango
  • frozen raspberries
  • banana
  • oj
  • skim
  • flax
  • chia

004 Banana bread bar with a smear of pb.

This was a nice variety of textures and flavors from breakfast.

I do miss oats though!  I need some egg dishes!  Frittata Friday?

Time to pack up for the day.  I won’t be home until around 9pm!

Have a great day!

Ole!

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

I hope you have a day full of margaritas and guacamole!  I have a special meal planned for dinner and plan of having a little tequila.  Nothing like college though!

I didn’t really get into the spirit with breakfast, but I did have hot sauce!

Lets start with my eggs!

Pollet eggs are from hens that have just started laying, but they are not up to par with their older roost makes.

001 The white is the pollet and the brown is a large.  They don’t look much smaller to me!  They were 18ct for $1.50 vs. 12ct for $3.00.  They taste the same with the same orange yoke, cage free and grass fed, so give me a pollet any day.

I fried up two of them for a little breakfast sandwich on a flatout fold.

003 Topped with Franks and a little S&P.

I also made a Brown Monster.

004

I didn’t measure but in the mix was…

  • spinach
  • frozen raspberries
  • chia seeds
  • flax
  • banana
  • slpash OJ – seriously made the smoothie
  • almond milk

All together.

002

A nice little different breakfast!  I am excited about my eggs.  Egg salad anyone?  I have a ton of eggs now!

Have a great Wednesday!

Pancake Saturday

Happy Weekend!  Sissy was bright eyed and bushy tailed at 5:15AM on the dot, but I shoved her off until 7:30.  I had to get up at that point anyway, I have a lot to do today!

To fuel me until the afternoon I whipped up some Saturday morning pancakes!

001 Banana and blackberry cakes.  To my mix I added flax, cinnamon and vanilla.  I topped 4 of them with a banana maple syrup mash and the 4th with a blackberry mash.  They all got a nice spread of homemade flax chia almond butter as well.

003 I folded these over like little pancake tacos.

002 004

These were the best pancakes I have made in awhile.

Time to finish me coffee and head out the door!

It is nicer outside than predicted, let’s hope it lasts until tomorrow!

Toasty

Good Morning!  My calf is still sore, but it isn’t any worse.  One day at a time.  At least we are expecting rain so I won’t be bummed not to be outside riding my bike.

I wasn’t feeling the oats this morning and I still have a lot of bread in my fridge so I went with french toast!  I need to get back on the waffle train, but mixing did not seem pleasing this morning.

001 Two pieces of German dark wheat soaked in egg white, skim, cinnamon, vanilla and flax.

003

Topped with a heated apple in maple syrup and some of my homemade cinnamon vanilla almond butter.

Sissy likes to join me when I go outside to take my breakfast pictures002 She likes to eat the flowers…  I guess it is better than my vegetables!

Fingers crossed my calf has a speedy recovery!  Any tips?

Welcome to Earth Week day two!  It is buuuurrrrr cold out again! 41 degrees.  I am going to try and get my plants outside today for some fresh air, but I am dreading bringing them back in tonight.  I still need to find something GREEN to do today.  I may run to the gym instead of driving but I have to make sure Nick can pick me up!

I re-used a pb jar this morning for my oats!  Recycling at its finest!

002 Chocolate banana oats!

  • 1/3 cup oat bran
  • 1/3 cup skim, 1/3 cup water
  • 1 banana slices
  • 1 tsp hemp protein powder
  • 1 tbs flax
  • sprinkle chia
  • 1/3 cup kefir
  • Dark Chocolate Dreams!

003 004

I tried to get some chocolate in every bite!

001 My coffee cup looks huge next to this, but I swear it isn’t one of those giant cups!

Alright I need to get my plants outside.  Sissy will be happy to have her table back.

Have a good one!

Strawberries and Cream

Happy Friday!  Yet another week has come to a end.  Any good weekend plans?  N and I have 2 wedding back to back on Saturday and they aren’t in the same town PLUS our roommate is moving in on Sunday.  Let’s just say it is going to be a busy weekend!  I wish the weather were going to be nicer.  At least it is nice today!

I was really pleased with how much oats turned out this morning!

Strawberries and Cream Oats

001

  • 1/3 oat bran
  • 1/3 cup whole grain drink, 1/3 cup water
  • cinnamon
  • pinch salt
  • vanilla
  • 1 tbs flax
  • ~4 strawberries chopped and cooked in
  • ~4 strawberries chopped for topping
  • 1/3 cup Kefir
  • 1 tbs crunchy pb
  • (forgotten chia seeds!)

003 004

This was a great combo.  Banana has nothing on sweet strawberries!

I have to make sure to bring my sweater to work.  The AC will be cranked with the nice warm temps.  I hate being cold!

Where did the time go?  I need to get my butt out the door!

Check ya later!

Good morning!  How are you doing this morning?  I am happy because it is going to be in the the 70s!  Perfect for a nice little run this afternoon.  First I have to get there…

At least I have a sundae to get me started!

001 The morning light was finally good enough for some outdoor pictures.

In my Oikos yogurt bowl:

  • Oikos, duh!
  • 1/2 cup Kashi H2H Warm Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup TJs fiber
  • 1/4 cup Uncle Sam
  • 6 strawberries
  • 1 banana
  • large dollop of PB&Co Dark Chocolate Dream
  • chia seeds
  • TJs whole grain drink

002

I could not put this down!  It was so delicious!

Have you done your taxes?  Get them post marked today!  There are also a bunch of food discounts out there know as tax day relief.  I’ll be scoping out the best deal today to see if it is worth my time.

OK I need to go pull my straightener out for the depths of my bathroom and get my short hair under control.  I could always just put it  up :)

Happy Thursday!

When did winter come back?!  Thank God I brought my plants in because it was 36 degrees when I woke up this morning.  I think they will just stay inside today, and lets hope Sissy doesn’t mistake any of them for her littler box.

Due to the cool temps this AM I really needed some hot oats!

PB&J oats!

001 Blurry with a side of baby kale and a messy bowl.

  • 1/3 cup oat bran
  • 1/3 cup skim, 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup Oikos
  • 1 med banana
  • cinnamon
  • vanilla
  • flax
  • raspberry preserve
  • pb
  • chia seeds

002 Mmmm naturally light!  I took so many takes of this shot to have it not be blurry!

I think I am going for a bike ride after work so I need to get my bike into the car and my gear packed up!

See you tonight for some steak fajitas!

Where’s The Bread?

Posted: April 13, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: breakfast, Tuesday | Tags: | 1 Comment »

Well hello there!  My plants made it through the night inside and are back out for some sun…to bad it is supposed to rain today :(

I did not want oats this morning.  It is weird how some days I NEED them and others I cannot stand them.  I looked in the fridge and saw a lot of bread (I blame Wegmans’ amazing selection) so I decided to make some french toast.

001 Two pieces of Wegmans bread dipped in…

  • skim
  • egg whites
  • vanilla
  • cinnamon
  • flax

004

I topped my toast with peanut butter, banana, strawberries and chia seeds.  You can barely see the actual bread down there!

002003

I would like to go strawberry picking this year, and I have my plant!

I seem to be running a little late…

got to jet!

Do you crave different things for breakfast or do you stick to the same thing every day?
