Pancake Pizza Mash-Up
Pancake meets pizza. A love child is born. And I’m smitten. Pancake pizza is my latest brainchild fueled by too much coffee and too many fresh berries. What’s a girl to do but find a way to put that caffeinated energy to use in developing a simple morning treat that you and kiddos will love! This pancake pizza features my favorite oatmeal blender pancakes smothered with crunchy pecan butter, homemade jam, fresh berries and a drizzle of syrup. It’s that easy! Slice into the recipe details and more ideas for toppers below.

Yup, there’s increasing evidence that there is a direct link between food and mood – specifically, gut health and mental health.

So Matcha Love
Spotted: pot of gold. Leprechaun: not included.
Making my own luck this morning with this COCONUT MATCHA CHIA PUDDING topped with coconut cream and a sprinkle of nature’s gold – aka bee pollen. I’m escaping the Irish invasion in Chicago today for St. Patrick’s Day, but couldn’t help but cheers the day with something green. Also celebrating a lot of luck (ie hard work) that’s recently paid off with some exciting news on the job and life front to come soon! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this Keto, Paleo and Whole30-friendly treat!

Whole30 Reflections
Okay, okay so I said my last post was the “Final Frontier” for Whole30, but I couldn’t help but bask in the glow for one last post on Day 28. Because on Day 28 I’m feeling…pretty great. Sure, it was one helluva rollercoaster (even the second time around), but I’m feeling high as a kite with the end in sight. Also….I’ve apparently turned into Dr. Seuss. I’ll spare you any more rhymes, but I do have a few more recipes up my sleeve, including green (deviled) eggs! Read on for a flurry of new recipes and some final reflections on Whole30.
