I don’t like how I feel when I start my day with carbs, aka cereal, bagels, pancakes, waffles, toast, etc… who started making breakfast a sugar carb fest?!?!
So if you agree and are trying to get more protein in first thing in the morning, but still want some pancakes this is for you! (P.S. Your hormones will love protein first thing in the morning)
Sharing one of our favorites before school breakfasts… Banana Pancakes! My kiddos love them with a little pure maple syrup on top.
Recipe:
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Banana
Optional add ins
- Tablespoon of ground flax seed
- Half tsp. Cinnamon
- tsp. If Vanilla extract
Blend in small blender. Melt a small amount of coconut oil or grass fed butter in a small frying pan; poor the blended banana and egg batter into your pan. Flip like a pancake. Add a little pure maple syrup on top of your pancake if you want a little more sweetness.
Enjoy! Tag me if you give them a try!

If you have had that jiggly can of cranberry sauce and weren’t a fan… I don’t blame you… It’s time for a better cranberries sauce to be on the Thanksgiving Dinner table!
This is a recipe that I give all the credit to my mom. She has been making this for years; I have loved it since I was a kid.
And… it is a no cook recipe, so you can whip this together in a matter of minutes.
- 1 bag of fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 apple
- 1 orange
- Maple Syrup
Place everything in your food processor (apple - cored and quartered, orange - quartered and remove any seeds, but leave peel on) Add maple syrup to taste. Keep refrigerated.
Give it a try this week and let me know how you like it!
Happy Thanksgiving!
