Gooooooood freaking morning! You know why it’s a good freaking morning? Because it’s 6:30am here in Cabo and I’m sitting on the rooftop of the house we are renting, watching the sunrise and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything more beautiful. It’s absolutely stunning. It’s a sea of blue to pink then orange and red then back to blue. And in the middle of it all is this (now tiny) cruise ship coming in to dock so everyone can explore Cabo. Can you imagine being the captain of a cruise ship? Yikes. Have you ever heard podcasts about people disappearing on cruise ships? Double yikes. I’ll stay on ground thank you very much. Anywho, why do photos never do it justice when it comes to sunrises or sunsets? I just tried to wake up my sister-in-law to watch the sunrise with me (because she asked me to last night) and right after I scared the sh*t out of her standing over her bed like it was her last moment on earth, she went right back to sleep. So I’m taking in these sights alone. Except with you. And the brightness of my computer. Mood lighting.
How’s the start of your New Year going so far? I have to say, ringing in the New Year in hot weather, on the beach, with the most beautiful sunrises of all time…well it’s the best. I woke up not hungover, got my sweat on overlooking the beach (where I almost fell off a cliff trying to be fit), and ate to my hearts content. Does a New Year get any better than that? I was worried about going on a vacation with my family because, well, family. But it’s been great. Renting a large house for this sort of thing is a good idea. I seriously had some major anxiety before we left but being in Cabo make everything better. We haven’t even done much other than just sit around and hang out in the pool, which I’m totally cool with when on vacation, but today we are going to venture out and go whale watching and then snorkeling. I’m out when it comes to snorkeling because it creeps me TF out. I keep trying every time I’m on vacation and then I feel like I’m in someone else’s home and want to go to shore. Hey fish, sorry I got all up in yo business. You deserve more respect than that.
I have to say, I think the coffee is stronger in Cabo. Like, maybe line with crack. I take four sips and I’m typing faster than my brain can even process the word. And if you’ve followed my blog for any sort of time, you know I’m terrible at spelling and grammar, so this coffee is not helping my case. You know what may help you forgive me for you English course mishaps…THIS RECIPE!! If you haven’t tried my Greek Yogurt Fluffy Waffles yet, it’s time!! I even walk you through them with a cooking video. But this time around, I turned the recipe into pancakes. I made these right before I left for Mexico and I had a hard time putting them down. They are so delicious and you can really get creative with them. Top them with fruit or chocolate chip or coconut whipped cream or make a breakfast sandwich out of them. They are magical little rounds of joy. Now go make them!! And put them on a cute little scale like I did. I need more cute little things like this around the house. I also want these twinkle lights and this awesome frame. I’m all over the place. And I’m sweating profusely from this coffee so I need to go sprint it out. KBye!

Sooooo the bachelor is back on! Please tell me you are going to watch and comment this season ( when you return from vaca of course). ????
i’m deeeeeefinitely watching!! i’ve just been out of town so I haven’t been able to watch the first episode yet!! but i will absolutely be recapping all of it!
So glad you’re having a great time in Cabo! My hubby and I went there for our 15th wedding anniversary and absolutely loved it. If you can, I’d highly recommend things like horseback riding on the beach or a catamaran cruise. And I’m still dreaming of the molcajete {spelling?} we ate – big flaming bowls of charred octopus, shrimp, fish – YUM! Also, I literally never drink except every five years on anniversary trips, but going to tequila tastings is a blast! Los Tres Tonos has amazing free tequila tastings.
Cabo is really amazing!! thanks for the recommendation!
This looks awesome. Can you make waffles from this batter?
i would use this batter – https://paleomg.com/greek-yogurt-fluffy-waffles/
Hey there so I made her pancakes and they were delicious I’ve never had a made that way before so they were a bit chewy at first I thought but I quickly got used to it and devoured them. Is there any place to find the nutritional value count grams of protein, grams of sugar, calories something like that? I’m trying to lose weight and want to make sure I’m not going completely overboard with these delicious pancakes. I also had a question regarding Greek yogurt is that Paleo? I also need to eat or buffalo chicken casserole tonight my husband even loved it score!
Thanks for the great recipes. Any tips you have to get kick started for WeightLoss would be appreciated. Thanks again.
you can figure out the nutritional content with a nutritional calculator online!! and if you read the recipe, there is a * next to greek yogurt and i mention the brand which is an almond milk greek yogurt, which has no dairy. so yes, this brand is paleo. if you are looking for weight loss however, i would stay away from baked goods in general
Hi JulI! I would like to make this recipe nut free- what do you recommend I do? Should I replace the almond flour with cassava flour?
Thank you!
i haven’t tried this recipe nut free yet so i can’t say for sure
*Juli! Sorry I accidentally capped the i! 🙂
Hi Juli, Do you think I could sub for Goat yogurt or the kite hill almond plain cream cheese instead of greek yogurt? 🙂
sure, you could use goat yogurt! it may not need the extra almond milk depending on the thickness of the yogurt
So happy you enjoyed your vacay, Juli, and you didn’t get sick again. Happy 2018!!! You’re amazing!!!
for real!! so happy to not get sick this time around. thanks for the love, carrie!
Hi Juli,
Happy New Year and glad Cabo is doing it for you. It’s freaking bitter cold here in Lancaster PA at the moment so I am drooling over your warm weather.
I am excited about these pancakes because my hubs loves them at least once in the weekends. I made another paleo batter last week and it’s the first time it didn’t bother my stomach eating pancakes. YAY!!!
Love your blog and recipes. New to Paleo but getting there more and more every day. I take it your husband eats Paleo also? My hubby will eat what ever I make so All is good in this house.
Janet 🙂
hope you love these pancakes! and my husband eats whatever i feed him so he always eats paleo when he’s home!
Just curious…I thought Greek yogurt came from cows and contains lactose? Pretty sure it’s not dairy-free. The title of the recipe might be misleading. Sorry, I am not trying to step on your toes, just making an observation and hopefully clearing up any confusions for those trying to avoid dairy.
By the way, I am from Boise. So glad you came to visit and loved it as much as I do!!
kristyn, if you look at the recipe, you’ll notice that the greek yogurt came from kite hill almond milk greek yogurt. almond milk does not come from cows. and there is no lactose in the almond milk greek yogurt. which is why it is dairy-free. i’m not misleading anyone since i explain the exact greek yogurt i used in the recipe, you just have to read the recipe to see that!
