"WTH Does She Eat" Sunday Sept 28

OK so food is kinda of a big deal in my house.  Errry damn day, you are going to hear me talking about how much I just simply enjoy food.  And being around OTHERS that feel the same way.

I am eating for competition, however and that puts a cap on some of my food fun, but you can bet your ass I am enjoying every bit of what I am eating.

Here is a bit of the good stuff from this past week.

Breakfast:  Hello...Shakeology Pancakes?  Yes, I think I will.  And then most of the rest of the week I ate my weird pancake bowl concoction.  I was off eggs this week in a big way.  I think next week I will bring back the guac love.  :-)

Moving on to lunches and dinners....mmm, deliciousness abounding.  Bacon and brussel sprouts and wait for it...MORE bacon. I seriously enjoyed this week of food well, things are changing up again for me next week, so my coach says, so I enjoyed every bite!

I even got to factor in a wonderful meal of Thai food.  I most definitely died and went to heaven with my amazing bowl of Peanut Curry, but with that being said, I was plenty hungry the rest of the day after sucking up so many calories.  GAh...macros are macros and I have to follow them and it was worth every bite!

I also was on a spiralizing frenzy this week, with both sweet taters and zucchini.  Hello, lovers.  Everything is magical when sauteed in coconut oil!

This week was all about the Greenberry Shakeology.  Because well, I am out of chocolate and my shipment is floating somewhere in the city of Red Deer.  BUT I do love this flavor and am enjoying Shamrock Shakes, my lassies & lads!!


And you always know there is going to be plenty of coffee.  Ahhh, Nectar of the Gods!!  :-)

Stay tuned til next week! 

What the heck is a Pancake Bowl?

Well, I will tell you.  I found a recipe for pancakes on IG that I thought sounded great, but I knew it would be a fail, and it was.  So to save the day, I threw it in a bowl, microwaved it and I present to you, the Pancake Bowl!  I have since tweaked it so this is my version.

Hello, Lover.

It might be weird to some (not me, but hey I am not professing to be normal here!) texture wise, but I am now officially addicted to these, especially on my low carb days.  (I am carb cycling, btw).  This just darn well makes me happy!

Topped with nut butter or coconut manna and maple syrup, if you choose, and it is dee-vine!

Recipe:

1/3 cup pumpkin puree
3 TBSP coconut flour
2 TBSP oat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk
extra water (I add about 1/4 cup)
dash salt
sprinkle cinnamon
splash of vanilla

Mix all dry ingredients together, add liquids and stir til lumps disappear.  Microwave for 2.5 - 3 minutes.  Top with nut butter or coconut manna & real maple syrup or Walden's Farms syrup (I use this as I am in competition prep).

Get a spoon....DIVE IN!
