Though I must say, this week has been pretty good. (I suppose it helps when it's your birthday week, lol). I feel like I've mentioned my birthday an awful lot and I don't want to wear you guys out with myself, ha, but for some reason the celebrations/presents have been really spread out this year. (Not that I mind too much ... I mean you only turn 21 once buuut at the same time, I don't want talk about it too much! Ha, so if you're sick of hearing the words "my birthday", please come back next week ; )
I have been majorly craving pancakes lately so last weekend I looked up healthy recipes for some kind of pancakes and I found the perfect one! Sooo, I've been telling Erik we have to have pancakes sometime for dinner (he wasn't too fond of the breakfast for dinner idea). Buuut, when it's around your birthday time you can get away with things like this ;) sooo tonight that's exactly what we had!
We had homemade almond pancakes with an apple almond syrup, homemade turkey sausage bites, and some scrambled eggs (which consisted of 2 whole eggs and 3 egg whites).Almond Pancakes
- 1 cup almond flour (I just ground up raw almonds with our coffee grinder)
- 2 eggs
- little bit of water (less than 1/4)
- 2 tsp olive oil
-2 Truvia packets (or some type of sweetener/sugar ... that's just what I used)
-dash of sea salt
*Mix together and make like regular pancakes. Makes 5-6 pancakes.
Almond Apple Syrup
*Blend together finely chopped half of an apple, splash of almond milk and 1 T agave nectar
How did the pancakes turn out? We loved them! I haven't had pancakes in so long and it's great to find a healthy version that I don't feel guilty eating that taste wonderful! And Erik was even glad we had breakfast for dinner ; )
And finally, I'm SO glad the weekend is upon us!!
You'll have to come back to see what it's about buuuuut ... here is a picture preview of tomorrow's post:
