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.

I just want you to know your recipes are ALWAYS a hit! I have not been disappointed at ALL! Just went on a girl trip to Vegas and they demanded I bake and bring the Coffee Banana Bread! My husband isn’t a paleo fan and loves the stuff I’m making too. Keep it up 🙂
THANK YOU! I finally found a recipe for GF pancakes that doesn’t involve advanced chemistry and obscure ingredients! I smeared a little chunky Natural PB on these babies and they are delicious! I didn’t have any chocolate chips …. and I am going to try the spinach puree next time for some extra nutrition. So glad I found your blog!
Great idea to add protein powder to the mix! Appreciate the recipe.
These pancakes didn’t really stick well for me for some reason. Maybe I just need to use more butter or oil but it was really mushy. However ugly my pancakes were they were yummy but not really fluffy at all like pancakes. I’d make it again in a pinch though 🙂 it’s so simple and quick!
Hey Juli!,
I just discovered your blog and love love it! I am a newbie to the paleo world as of the beginning of this week! My husband has been doing crossfit for about 6 weeks now and I start Monday. I am excited to start this lifestyle out with a bang and your recipes are delicious. Love the pancakes, they were perfect.
I took had an issue with the sticking in the pan no matter how low I turned the heat. I tried two pans, more coconut oil….still stuck. I will try again this weekend and mix it up more with the blender. The taste was super yummy. My teen kids loved them too! Wonder if they would turn out if I baked them?
so strange, that’s a total bummer! and i haven’t tried baking them but it’s worth a try!
Just made these, delish with a teeny drizzle of maple syrup! I might add a pinch of baking soda next time to make them a little fluffier.
Oh and for future reference it’s St Paddy’s day, not St Patty’s day! (Paddy being the short for Patrick; Patty is a girl’s name) We Irish crack up when people make this mistake!
AMAZING. Turned out beautiful. Used Isoflex vanilla protein
I see that one person used coconut flour as a sub to protein. Any other options?
Has anyone tried using chocolate flavored protien powder? Think that would work?
i have! and mine were great using formulx!
