Love 3 day weekends

This 3 day weekend to end winter break has been so wonderful and given me the opportunity to workout, relax, have fun with friends and best of all try out new concoctions of food!

#1 So much left over cilantro: This is a mexican breakfast! A little Ole' in the mornin:) An egg and egg white scrambled and cooked with canned fire roasted tomatoes, toasted Ezekiel bread with a little yogurt butter, sprinkle with a little cheese and fresh cilantro! I may have added some Chalula sauce too...and a grapefruit! mmmm Perfect way to wake up...

#2 Second perfect way to wake up before snow tubing, PANCAKES!: These are cranberry almond pancakes (mixed in some slivered almonds and craisins...could also use real cranberries but would have to boil first to soften.

Mix Wet: 1 large egg, 1 cup almond milk, 2 T of water, 2 t vanilla, 1/2 cup nonfat chobani greek yogurt.

Mix Dry: 1/2 cup oats maybe a little more I didn't measure, 1 c whole wheat flour, shakes of salt, 2 1/4 t baking powder, lots of cinnamon, about 1/4 c ground flaxseeds :) and craisins and almonds.

Mix all and cook on the pan in butter, add some organic peanut butter and agave nectar and enjoy! Yummy and hearty.

#3 Dr. Oz Peanut Butter "cookies" (maybe a little too healthy to call a cookie but good as a snack none the less): 2 mashed ripe bananas, 1/3 cup organic peanut butter, 2 T agave nectar, 1 large egg, 1 t vanilla, 2 1/2c oats, 1/4 c whole wheat flour, cinnamon! Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
*I think some chocolate chips added to this would make it more of a "dessert cookie" than a "healthy cookie" haha without adding too much sugar or calories.

Stay tuned for some stir fry, organization tips, and more yumminess this week! xoxo
