When it comes to pancakes, I’m usually a protein pancake kind of gal, but today I was feeling way too lazy to clean the immersion blender I typically use when I make protein pancakes with oats.
Yes, today’s recipe was born out of my desire to keep breakfast clean up to a minimum. Whatever works!
I made a batch of whole wheat pancakes and amped up the flavor a bit with pumpkin and honey and the end result tasted like fall on a plate. The perfect lazy Sunday morning pancakes… on a Friday.
- Such a good breakfast!

Workout
Before breakfast, Ryan and I headed to the gym for a Friday morning workout that began with my 25 minute elliptical interval workout. I followed up my cardio session with “Workout C” from Tina’s Best Body Boot Camp.
I definitely felt the burn and I’m hoping my muscles aren’t crazy-sore for tomorrow’s race. I made sure to do a bit of stretching at the end of the workout, including some of my favorite hip stretches since I’ve experienced some light hip pain since late last week. (<— Hip stretch number five is a personal favorite.) The pain is nothing crazy by any means, but since I’ve had hip issues in the past, I’ve been a hip-stretching maniac for the past few days.

Question of the Morning
- What is your all-time favorite stretch?
I love the pigeon pose. It feels incredible on my hips. I also really like the plow pose because I feel like a kindergartener playing on the floor while simultaneously stretching my back.

So I love following your blog and getting inspiration. When you drink coffee at home, how do you make it? With creamer, half and half. etc? I’m in need of healthy meal options. Love the blog. Thanks!!!
Nice answer back in return of this query with solid arguments and telling
everything about that.
The supplement is produced with natural Saffron Extracts and all natural.
This can be a supplement that has been used for
many years by people-to buy saffron extract balanced and to control
hunger. Allow me to inform you more in regards to the benefits.

I love this recipe…I just included it in a handout (courtesy of you) for clients in my small group TRX class. ‘Tis the season for PUMPKIN!
