1, Running Dates: I have been loving this little Tuesday night tradition my friends Jessie and Emma have started, where in we meet up, run around 4-5 miles, make a dinner we all contributed ingredients to, and watch Switched at Birth. I am really excited and happy that they have taken me in.
This Tuesday we spent the evening's run in Jessie's neighborhood and made some delicious Italian seasoned turkey burgers w/ sweet potato fries and a yummy salad (oh and J and I had a spectacular Nathan's pickle!)
But only after we first toasted the completed 4.77 miles and dinner in front us with some Cupcake prosecco...

| bubbly anyone?! |
We then of course washed down dinner with some tasty no-bake fruit tart "pie"

| we all agreed it was hideous, but the flavor? Insanely good!! nutty, sweet, fruity |
I went through this with my own blog, and it is easy as 1, 2, 3...just go to the site HERE, plug in your website URL, and check out how your site as it stands today performs/looks on a mobile device! Now, my blog is hosted on blogger, and all mobile/tablet optimization is done on their discretion, so I really have very little control over this, beside image choices and formatting, but it was still cool to check out how well Blogger is allowing my blog to perform - as mobile site access is growing like wild fire, and not forecasted to stop anytime soon.
3. Protein Pancake Fail: I have been trying to make some of Jamie Eason's high protein snacks and meals, but have not been having much luck. The only thing that came out good was the turkey muffins, which I did no photograph #fail. So I woke up Sunday, wanting to make Tripp some surprise pumpkin protein pancakes, you know the ones, Christina and Elle make incredible looking (and from what they say, delicious) pancakes. I on the other hand, failed terribly! The batter was incredibly wet, meaning I had to try to cook them in a small, single serving frying pan, instead of a bigger, more efficient cooking surface (because I needed to contain the batter). I even tried to put in a big scoop of ground flax seed in there to try to thicken it up!
I did eventually get the pancakes to cook into pancake form and they didn't taste half bad, but they were not spectacular either (a little bland for my liking).
So instead of pouting and spending an hour making each one separately, I decided to turn half the batch into mini-muffins for snacks throughout the day!
They tasted sort of bland, just like the pancakes, and I should have probably cooked them longer than I did, because within a day they were all wet and kind of gross in the middles :( It was like stale baked oatmeal...
So please help me!! What am I doing wrong?!! I did use liquid egg whites, instead of actual eggs, so maybe that was what made it too wet at first? Or is the batter supposed to be so loose and I am just not used to that?
