I had something I haven’t had in a a while for breakfast this week – 2 Ingredients Pancakes! Simple and healthy, these are definitely a winner. One batch is about 250 calories, which isn’t quite enough to fuel me through the morning, so I add some natural peanut butter to my pancakes. It adds another yummy flavor + some protein and needed calories!
I’ve been working on a recipe for Pumpkin Pancakes the past few weeks. I’ve got a great recipe, but my pictures were less than awesome. I’ll have to take them again on a better lit morning, when I’m also not in a rush! I’ll have the recipe and photos out on the blog sometime in October/November!
And, finally, I photographer these Egg and Avocado breakfast wraps I’ve been talking so much about lately. They’ll be up in a few weeks, too!
Dinners
One of our first dinners of the week were Steve’s Beef & Bean tacos. We realized after taking a few bites the meat wasn’t quite seasoned enough, so I added some taco sauce to mine after the picture was taken. The beef was a great taco filling for a busy night! After cutting it into thin strips it only takes a few minutes to cook!
I made a few creative spiralized recipes this week. I always save my broccoli stems (and do various things with them). I had three or four in the refrigerator when I saw this recipe! I made a few changes based on what I had in the kitchen already. I was surprised at how long it took me to cook. I was expecting the meal to have faster prep, but looking back the time makes sense. Spiralizing broccoli stems is much more time consuming than something softer like zucchini! In the end, the meal was delicious. Steve commented that he thought he liked it more than he expected. I even ate the leftovers cold!
My other creative spiralized recipe of the week was this grain-free chicken parmesan with garlic zucchini noodles. I just ate these leftovers for my lunch today, and was remembering how good the dinner was! I’ll talk about it more when I do a whole post for the recipe – there are so many good things to say! It’s one of those “who knew healthy food could be so delicious?!” meals!
