Pancakes for national pancake day!

Image
Yesterday (2.5.2013) was National pancake day so IHOP was giving free pancakes to customers. 1. I did not want to stand a in a long ass line although it is free 2. I'd rather make my own but a healthier version I was thinking about using protein powder to substitute for flour, but reading about how heat denatures protein made me a little iffy about that... so here's how I made these pancakes :) How I made it: 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/3 coconut flour, 2 tbs, oats, 1/3 cup milk, and with a handful of almonds I threw everthing into my blender. The "sauce" on top is just chobani yogurt. And I got the basic recipe from chocolatecoveredkatie.com but changed the recipe around a lot by taking out salts/vanilla extract/sugar

Be merry, eat & drink

 I am probably not the best 'fitness' blog because I eat often and drink once in a while. Gotta enjoy life right? Currently, in Los Angeles and surrounding areas, there is a restaurant event called DineLA happening. It's basically when high-end restaurants have a set menu for lunch/dinner and have 'lower prices' than usual to cater to the more general population. Or basically, it's a yearly (or bi-yearly) occurrence that foodies look forward to so that we can indulge ourselves. I also yelp quite devotedly.. so this is my guilty pleasure >:) On Friday, I went to Fogo de Chao , a Brazilian bbq steakhouse in Beverly Hills that serves all you can eat different assortments of meat... And they also have available a salad bar. Oh my god, gluttony. I didn't stuff myself, and also chewing meat for a while makes you tired of eating. But my plate was more or less fully stocked the whole time I was there because the servers were really good at coming around ...

Waffle Sandwich: Breakfast for dinner

Image
Yesterday I was craving a waffle sandwich (Bruxie's actually) but didn't want to go out and eat in the cold or whatnot. And I also didn't shower and didn't want to accidentally meet people I knew. I always tend to see someone familiar when I'm not at the best, and then when I am dressed cute or to the nines, no one ever bumps into me. :( Life is ironic that way I also ran into the problem of no eggs and milk at home T_T Luckily google saved the day. I substituted bananas for eggs and just used water instead of milk. Interestingly  worked out fine! :D Though the waffle did have a hint of bananas... I made one for my brother as well and he said it was much better than Bruxie's. wow.... Future sandwich shop/cafe for me? :) I would love to own one actually.
