Time Flies When You're Having Fun

This weekend I got to go to Georgia Tech Homecoming, and it was quite the fun time. My dad played for GT when he was in college, so while he hung out with his old teammates, I got to stay with Anna! We got to catch up, tailgate, cheer on the jackets, and eat delicious food truck food. It was a glorious time. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! It went by so fast. Can you believe we're already a few days in to November?

I hope you all are having an amazing week!

Healthy Banana Pancakes

Yesterday I had a bit more time to spend on making something for breakfast, so instead of my normal eggs and banana (as seen here) I decided to do something different. Cassey of Blogilates, a food & fitness blogger, posted a video on how to make delicious banana pancakes (here). I've changed it up ever so slightly and it is so good. I had to share it with you guys.

The only two ingredients you will need for this are a banana and an egg. Cassey uses two eggs in her recipe, but people warned that it tastes more like a banana omelette with two in there. This will make about two medium sized pancakes, but do keep in mind that I used a smaller banana here.

Slice up the banana and crack the egg into one bowl, and mix the two together. You'll still have some pieces of banana that haven't been completely mixed in, but don't worry too much about it.

Then, just start cooking like you would if you were making a normal pancake. I've discovered that I am terrible at flipping these.

I topped mine off with some strawberries for some extra sweetness, but they do taste good on their own. Let me know if you try these out! Enjoy!

Sweet Summertime: Smoothie Edition

I have now deemed this month's Thursday theme to be "Sweet Summertime." It may be raining outside right now, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the summer, right? You may remember the post I talked about last week all about the meal plan I'm currently on (click here to see). Today, I wanted to share with you all one of the recipes. It is super easy, quick, and delicious-- perfect for the summer.

The recipe calls for the following:
-1 cup calcium-fortified unsweetened soy milk (oops, we went with the vanilla kind)
-1 small banana (or 1/2 of a bigger banana)
-1/2 cup frozen berries of choice
-2 to 3 ice cubes

According to the plan, this would be a breakfast meal along with 10 almonds or 20 pistachios. Just put it in the blender, let it go...

And enjoy! It really is simple and tasty. I made this to go along with my lunch today and then proceeded to spill half of it on my couch. Oh well. No sense crying over spilt... smoothie.
