There must be something about getting older that makes each year seem shorter than the last. I remember in elementary school that I felt like each year lasted longer than I could wrap my mind around, but now I hardly know what month it is. This might be, in part, because I just realized my wall calendar at work was still showing July, ooops. I can’t stop time and I can’t stay young forever, but at least I can occasionally indulge in…
Read more**Pictures updated on 3/5/2014 I am a pancake lover. They’re in my top 3 favorite foods and I usually make them at least once a week. I have all kinds of pancake recipes I like to use, most of which are vegan. I’ve only posted one recipe so far, so I figured it was high time to celebrate a food I love so much again. The first time I made pancakes with chia seeds, I was mid-vegan week and super craving pancakes. I didn’t yet…
Read moreI’ve been on a bit of a decadent banana breakfast kick lately. Last weekend I made banana french toast and this weekend I made both these oatmeal banana pancakes and peanut butter banana breakfast rolls (recipe coming soon!). I’m not normally so into bananas, but they’re cheap, delicious, and easy to keep around the house. Pancakes are definitely one of my top two favorite foods – it’s a close call for first between…
Read moreThese pancakes are a moment I look back on with great regret. I’m in the midst of a great banana kick. Like a 2 bananas a day habit that I just can’t shake. When I made these last Saturday morning, I only had 1 banana left. My choices were A. slices it up and put it on the pancakes (looks pretty, tastes even better) B. ration it throughout the day or C. peel it with the intent of slicing, and instead inhale the whole thing without…
Read moreI voted, and it’s apple season now. And pumpkin season. And pancake season. Basically, it’s the most wonderful time of the year (obviously tied with pumpkin spice latte season. Obviously.) I’ve never understood why people restrict pumpkin to fall. Even in the fall, I normally use it out of a can (and I imagine that’s true for >80% of the population) so why wait? I eat an apple with lunch almost every day, too. These…
Read moreI am T minus 5 days from my Florida/Caribbean cruise vacation, and let me tell you I need it. In addition to the broken garage door fiasco from the other week, I also have crazy water damage in my bathroom. I’ve mostly been taking that as a cue to not shower for as long as possible on the weekends and lounge around in my pajamas, eating pancakes. Pancakes are one of my ultimate favorite foods. Oh, you like pancakes too? Here, go look at…
