Simple is always better. Especially when I’m incredibly lazy on the weekend. Seriously lazy. I mean, I still always work out, but then I tend to not want to do anything else. So my cooking is extremely simple on the weekends. I make lots of eggs, some Applegate Farms precooked chicken sausage, and other people’s dessert recipes. I love trying out other bloggers recipes. Like Brittany Angell’s cosmic brownie recipe. I about cried when I tried that brownie recipe. Seriously the best thing you will ever taste. I swear. You have to try it.
Ok, let’s talk more about the weekend. So it started off on Friday, interesting huh? Well, my gym CrossFit Broadway does the CrossFit Games open workouts on Fridays. A bunch of us get together so we can do a quick, miserable workout and then drink together. I usually don’t drink because all we usually have in the gym refrigerator is beer. And well, beer is gross. I keep thinking that my taste buds will mature and I’ll actually enjoy beer at some point, but I don’t. I still tastes like dog food. But luckily this Friday, my friend Jeremy was oh so wonderful to pick me up some canned champagne. Anywho, after doing that god awful 14.3 workout and getting 108 miserable reps, I started chugging away. I never knew that champagne had such a high alcohol content. Well, my body figured it out pretty fast. My feet did the normal swelling how it always does, even with one sip of alcohol, and I felt a good buzz in no time. It’s always fun being buzzed with people you workout with. You think everything is funny. Especially watching other suffer through the workout you just did. And you REALLY think things are hilarious when you drink 4 of those little bastards. Man do they pack a punch on an empty stomach.
Well, after stuffing my face with some gluten free pizza and tucking myself into bed around 9:30pm, I woke up with one hell of a hangover. Instead of sleeping it off or eating my body weight in greasy food, I went straight to the gym. Sometimes a workout is all you need to cure a hangover. This was not that kind of day. My workout was sh*t and I felt worse afterwards. So I went grocery shopping to get it over with before the Sunday rush, then went straight home, ate some food and found my happy place right on the couch. I did not move from that spot until I had to get dinner. Then I ate dinner and parked my ass right back on the couch for some Modern Family and E! network.
The next day was a bit more productive. I actually showered and put on make up, then biked to brunch with friends. After biking home, I made these wonderful pancakes and then the brownies and proceeded on to watch three movies. Yes, three. First, The Hunger Games. Then Catching Fire (the second hunger games). Then Boondock Saints (had to celebrate St. Patty’s Day somehow). I also folded laundry and cleaned the kitchen. That’s productive, right?
Again, I like lazy weekends.
Damnit. I missed the premier of Total Divas. My weekend was not completely.
Stop judging me.

Those sound like my pancakes that I make. So simple!
shit! i had no clue total divas premiered last night!!! damnit. i was off sat/sun too and only left the house to grocery shop. pretty much watched everything on tv and bought “the book thief” ondemand. have you seen it?? omg such an amazing movie. i can’t help but cry every time i see it.
I told myself I would make these as a treat if I beat your 108 reps. I did 105. I might still make them.
can never go wrong with pancakes, right 🙂
we’ve been making eggs mixed with either plantains or bananas for our waffles lately and love it, so easy and yummy!
Every time I try to make these damn things they turn into scrambled eggs with bananas in them.. I don’t get what I’m doing wrong. 🙁 They taste great, but your picture looks like real pancakes, the ones I make don’t even have the same texture as your picture does. Whats your secret?
hahaha mine turn out the exact way, even using a stick free pan with coconut oil. Maybe I am too anxious and I flip them early?
Try using a blender/food processor to make the batter. It makes a HUGE difference.
Can you swap the bananas for something else? Or will the pancakes get all weird? Thnx!
you could try applesauce or pureed squash/pumpkin
It looks super good, and seems to be easy to make. Maybe I can be successful with these protein pancakes because it did not go so well last time I tried 🙁
I felt like I was getting drunk just reading this. I don’t drink often so when I do, I know I’m gonna pay for it.
Love the Boondock Saints!
Hey I live in Denver too… where do you get these
“Enjoy Life” Chocolate Chips? I didn’t see them at Sprouts or the Cap Hill Whole Foods.
They’re there! I just bought them at that whole foods today, right by the other chips
