I woke up around 8:30 this morning, and laid in bed thinking about what I could make for breakfast for another 10 minutes or so. I’m so weird… but thinking about and being creative with food is so fun for me! I love thinking-up new combos and interesting flavors to mix together. Of course, some ideas turn out better than others, but it’s always exciting to give them a try!

This morning’s breakfast creation: Sweet Potato Oatmeal Pancakes topped with maple syrup.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup dry oats
1/3 cup mashed sweet potatoes
2 egg whites
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg 
Maple syrup (optional) 

Directions:

Combine all ingredients and blend well 
Divide batter in half and create a pancake on greased fry pan
Cook each side of pancake until lightly browned; repeat for second half of batter
Recipe makes 2 small pancakes 

Breakfast concluded with an angel Christmas cookie and an iced coffee with milk and agave nectar. I’m feeling sort of chilly this morning, so I might put on a pot of hot coffee instead. I don’t enjoy iced coffee nearly as much in the winter as I do the summer. 

Not much on Sunday’s agenda today, except working at Healthworks tonight. It’s a short shift, so hopefully, it will fly by. Happy Sunday!

  Howdy all! I stayed up late (for me!) last night working on this standardized recipe and said I’d make the call in the AM if I wanted to work out. Surprisingly, it wasn’t that hard to get out of bed, although I did snooze 15 minutes[...]

  This is a really simple, homey recipe.  There are no quantities listed because it all depends on how many you want to make and sweet potatoes vary in size.   These tacos are slightly sweet and the orange-honey dipping sauce gives them an extra[...]
