Power Monday #20 Bodyweight Arm Workout

November 18, 2013 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 10 Comments

Happy Power Monday lovelies! How was your weekend? Mine turned out to be pretty great 🙂 Saturday started with a new Quinoa Flake breakfast! I used the Amazing Grass’s new Cafe Mocha Amazing Meal! It was yummy 😉 I used half the packet in the flakes and then later for lunch I added the other half to my blueberry green smoothie…lovin’ life!

I also went to the library and got my studying out of the way and some other homework I saw that would be introduced next week. But I hate to procrastinate so I got it done this weekend, win! I went to the grocery and then came home and cooked up a storm! Soup, bread, the works! I will be sharing all these recipes over the next couple of weeks because I did a lot of recipe development over the last two weekends! I totally burned my tongue eating the soup…happens every time, even though this soup was cooling for over an hour covered in the pot. I heated it up a bit in the microwave and well ya, it was hot. No patience here 😉 Saturday ended with a wonderful yoga session and some relaxing reading of an actual book, yay, back to my old habits! Sunday was spend just really being lazy. I took at name around 12:30 and woke-up around 1:40pm…So Good! Since I wake up at like 4:30-5ish on weekends, I think I deserve those naps anyway. Way back, I used to go back to sleep around 7:30-8am, but I just stay awake now and get things done 😉 Anyway after my nap I went downstairs to do some veggie steam action and as I was cleaning up and washing dishes I looked out the window and saw a few white flakes fall from the sky. It was snowing! But then I looked at the window thermometer and it read…65ºF. I guess it wasn’t snow :p This weather is being very weird. Apparently though it will be back in the low 30s later this week…joy.Read More

Hey there! How has your week been, it’s almost over and time for the weekend! I just wanted to pop in a share that Pumpkin Pancake recipe I mentioned on Monday. And if you aren’t loving anything about this week, well these pancakes will quickly change that, you’ll see. They brought a smile to my face last weekend and I am so ready to make them again this weekend! They were perfect fuel as well and filled me up for hours! If I have time though…Saturday I am taking an SAT II Literature (which is only an hour long, thank god!) and then Sunday is the Live Well Sports & Health Festival! I really would rather stay home and just do simple to-dos and prepare for the coming week on weekends. But sometimes having an event or quick outing makes the weekend seem a bit longer and I will take as much weekend as I can get! Okay, now the moment I know you are all on the edges of your seat for…

You do not understand how happy I am that these came out perfectly! I was waiting to just grab a bowl and heat up some pumpkin quinoa flakes instead. The last time I made pancakes it just did not work, two batches in the trash and a very frustrated, angry, and starving Rebecca was left to clean up the mess! But I think the secret is making them small so they cook quick and you can flip them with out having the uncooked part get in the way. I also wish pancakes were quicker. I can only ever make them on the weekend when I don’t have to get ready for school, bummer. Although I know many people like to make a large batch and freeze them, I am just worried about freezing gluten-free/vegan cakes and the texture that will result when microwaved from frozen.

I also ran out of PP spice the other day and was going to pick some McCormick up when I went to the grocery. But then I saw the price…$6.48 for a tiny bottle! No way. I knew I had all the spices to make my own and an empty bottle to put it in so that’s what I did. So much more economical!

So tell me:

+ Have any pancakes horror stories?

+ Do you make big batches and freeze them for during the week? I guess I can always try and see how it works, now that I have a perfect recipe!

+ Pancakes or Waffles? I have never made waffles from scratch, but I do know we have an old waffle iron in the back of one of our cabinets. That will be my next experiment because I could go for a good pumpkin waffle 😉
