a few pictures from my easter

before all of the food... and a sleeping dog.

^..^ bunny ear muffins (that i couldn't eat)

Happy Easter again! My day was spent at church, sleeping, eating a ham dinner and watching the TV series the bible which is amazing. Seriously. They did an amazing job making it and it made my easter much more meaningful to see what Christ really went through. I would definitely recommend it.

Selfie Sunday

I'm back for what seems to be the weekly update! Today was a good happy day. Things are good when the church is in your life. Today I spoke in church and I was so nervous! I am never nervous until I sit on the stand and then in the last minute my head spins and I get a very dry mouth and I can't talk loud! It is just awful. But it was a good experience and hopefully i will be good for at least 6 months :)

I have been in a very adventurous mood lately. I am all about hiking and driving around and looking for adventures. I have a few fun adventures lined up for this week since I am on spring break. I am one of those cheesy people who likes to hike and watch the sunset so I am looking forward to doing that. I have found that if I make lists for what I want to do that week, it is easier to stick to a plan and then I don't get lazy and boring! It has really been working for me.

Anyway, I hope that everyone is ready for a new week! I know I am :)

BUON GIORNO

I am a huge breakfast person. I would eat breakfast foods all through out the day. Not to mention the amounts of oatmeal a week I consume. I am always looking for healthy breakfast recipes because I know just how important breakfast is to start your day off. As much as I try to eat healthy, my family has always had pancake or waffle sundays with eggs and bacon. I always loved and looked forward to that tradition, but now that don't eat dairy or gluten, it is hard for me to enjoy it! So luckily, I found the perfect pancake recipe! Now I don't have to sit the pancake sunday's out and just eat eggs. I can eat my vegan oatmeal and banana pancakes! They are definitely healthy, and if you are looking to indulge, they may not be the pancakes for you. But if you are going for something light and guilt free, give these a try!

Blend all of the ingredients together in a blender, except the bananas. Then add the two bananas and blend thoroughly until smooth. Lightly oil (grease) the griddle (coconut oil, pam, whatever your "thing" is). Pour pancakes and cook. Once the pancake bubbles up, flip it over. (I bet you already knew that) This makes a dozen medium sized pancakes.
