Almond Butter Banana Coconut Pancakes

February 10, 2013 by Hillary 5 Comments

Something good happened in the kitchen yesterday morning.

It was preceded by a 3.5 mile trail run in the park and brisk walk around the farmer’s market (it was 30F!) with the new roommate.

I have no problem getting up before my 7:00am alarm on the weekend for said type of morning.

After I put my local greens away in the fridge, I got to making a Saturday stack of flapjacks. 

I pulled up my recipe for Puffy PB & Banana Pancakes and made a few alterations to result in something even nuttier.

It’s gotta be a good morning when your day starts with a stack of these… and cold-brewed, extra-bold espresso roast iced coffee ;)

About that trail run mentioned above… it wasn’t the only exercise I did this week either.

Hello, Helen!

Friday night, I made an appearance at the box. It was a bold move, but not one I regret. I hadn’t done a CrossFit WOD since December 13th! 

The WOD seemed doable for the current state of my knee, and I made sure to “hold myself back” during the workout. 

That isn’t to say, that after Friday and Saturday’s exercise, I feel as if I was hit by a train.

So that’s what pull-ups feel like after two months sans upper body training.

My knee has a ways to heal, but if it gives me 2-mile jogs in the drizzling rain, walks with cotton candy sunsets, and a hand at kipping pull-ups, I’ll take it :)  

I’m happy to report my Fitter in February efforts for the week:

M – mini workout {lunges/rope/stairs}

T – 2 mile jog + 10-min. plank & push-up workout

W – 60-min. walk

Th – 2 mile jog

F – CrossFit (including 1 mi. run)

Sa – 3.5 mile jog

Su – Recover!

This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
