3 Ingredient Pancake

As I was deciding on what to make for dinner, I remembered a super quick and easy recipe that I’d seen a few times on Facebook and on a few websites with different variations of the recipe as this one on The Skinny Confidential. 

So here I was Ubër excited to be trying this Infamous Pancake that only required 1 Bananna, 2 Eggs, and a Dash of Cinnamon! Wait, No Carbs? No Guilt of feeling like I’m cheating myself from all of the Hard work I’ve been putting in lately at that gym…AND it’s filled with protein?! Heck YES, I was Sold! 
Pulled out the little ingredients I had in my kitchen (because of course I had all THREE of them you know) and got to work smashing the bananas in a bowl with the 2 eggs….

  
Following the recipe I added the Cinnamon in next…

  
After mashing the bananas enough so there weren’t any huge chunks, then it was time for to get one of these bad boys in a pan. I knew this was going to be a “trial run” so 1 would be plenty for me…

  
It definitely cooked nicely like a pancake should. Time to flip…

  
Golden brown thanks to the coconut oil…

  
 
Finished product. 

So here’s where it gets super honest….

It definitely LOOKED exactly how I’ve seen a lot of them turn out and I’m sure if I’d added additional fruit or even cheated with adding pinches of Flour where I’ve read some people do it would’ve looked even fluffier, but I wanted to stick to the Original 3 Ingredients and see how it turned out. 

I didn’t care for it at ALL. Everyone’s taste buds is different but it didn’t work for me. After 1 bite I was done (and just munched on the bacon, yummers!) It was like eating a sweet omelette which just seemed wrong on so many levels. I think if the recipe called for another large banana perhaps, it would’ve taken away the “Eggy Taste” and made it less Savory. Even with honey there was not enough banana taste and way too much egg. I’ll do another trial run using more bananas next time to see how it turns out. At least I can say I finally tried the 3 Ingredient Pancake! 

Samples and Freebies

We’ve all been there….

You’re either über bored one late night while scrolling through your TV channels, and of course that’s when for some odd reason you find yourself being sucked into actually considering buying that product on the screen you definitely wouldn’t have even giving a second glance a few hours ago! 

Or you’re cruising your social media timeline and you see someone raving about a product as if it’s the best thing since sliced bread, so you’re thinking “hmm, maybe I should try it out if they say it’s that good” Only for you to have your own experience and it be an epic fail!! Lol. Like what the heck happened?! How did I waste my money on this? I totally should’ve kept on “cruising”. Or better yet, gotten a sample of something and tried it out first to see how I liked it. 

I personally LOVE samples and freebies! I seriously have a drawer at home called my “Sample Drawer” where you’ll pretty much find a little of everything. Have a cut on your finger? No problem, there’s a band-aid in there somewhere. Have a splitting headache? Nooo worries, got you covered. Tylenol coming right up! Lastly of course there’s the good ole…Hand Sanitizers. 

Awesome sites like ProFreebies provide great samples that you’ll love, and possibly find new products along the way that may become your favorites because you’ve had the opportunity to try what you like and what works best for You. They change up items regularly so check it out and see what you may need. Figured I’d pass it forward to my followers and hopefully you’ll find something that may come in handy for you and your families! Hope you guys enjoy! 🙂

Monday Madness!

Started my day off looking into the bathroom mirror at the person staring back with the crazy hair and the one flexi rod that was in from the night before (when I got frustrated and totally gave up! Lol) 

Only had a few hours to figure out what I was going to do between dealing with life’s curve balls: A nagging back injury that doesn’t seem to go away & just lingers in that “Fml” stage, a jury duty summons that made me regret ever being a voter (oook, I guess that was a little too harsh but who actually LIKES jury duty?!) and lastly the rats nest sitting on my head. I had to think…Quick.

Finished the other Flexi Rods and just went to work, aside from a few confusing moments that is. Lol. I made it on time for everything and put on a brave face! Couldn’t wait to get home and relax though…sheesh!! What a day!

It All Began With 10,000 Steps!

For all of you Fitbitters (I have the Fitbit Charge HR so I’m guessing they all do the same) who understands or remembers the first “vibration” moment of your Fitbit notifying you when it hit that 10,000 step mark…I’m sure you understand that feeling! 

At first I was wondering “What IS that?!” Then I looked down and saw the display flashing I was super excited!! Honestly I would’ve missed that Triumph moment if it wasn’t for my Fitbit because I’ve pretty much little by little grown accustomed to really enjoying hiking like I love it now, and it’s not as if I had time to check my watch as Coldplay, Bob Marley, Sam Smith, Drake, and the others are blasting through through my iPod. 

Gaining friends and achievements through that app has been pretty amazing, but being able to push myself without even realizing I’m pushing myself is the best part!! It’s like you get home and see you’ve burned all those calories and walked those miles like “wow!!” Still a work in progress but as the saying goes “Rome Wasn’t Built In A Day” Changing my diet completely and drinking nothing but water while hiking everyday is what’s probably making the difference for me I think. Now I’ll start a little weight training also to switch things up (never done it before so wish me luck!! Fingers crossed!)

Finally Getting Started!

After debating with myself for some time on exactly how I was going to begin and which blog site I going to use, here I am…at last! 

I figured as much as I post some of my thoughts on Facebook and on Instagram, having to keep it pretty brief as to not utterly annoy my online friends or blow their newsfeeds up constantly when I have an lightbulb moment! (Lol) why not just start blogging!  

Pretty awesome to be able to blog about all the things I find interesting and also what’s going on in my life! I enjoy a little of everything so hopefully you guys will be able to relate to something.
