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.
Consumed cold by the pitcher.
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!

Those pancakes look delicious, my bf and I have a ritual of sunday morning pancakes when he comes in town and I can’t wait to try these the next time. Glad you’re able to make it back to the box also!
That recipe looks delicious!! Having whole wheat pumpkin waffles as I type! That’s awesome you made it back to the box! Keep at it girl!
I bet you and Miss Katie are hitting it off! These pancakes would have been fantastic with my cappuccino this morning…maybe next weekend. (=
It’s definitely fun (and inspirational) to have another foodie in the kitchen :)
Those pancakes look delicious! I haven’t seen that tea, but it sounds like a good one! I love that it’s for muscle recovery!
