My first attempt at pancakes ;-)

Yes you read right I never made pancakes yet in my life. Why? I don't really like pancakes (or at least not the once you can get at a restaurant it looks like).
I LOVE my overnight oats but I like to change things up once in a while. I felt for something sweet this morning and looked up some recipes and found this one http://www.thegraciouspantry.com/clean-eating-banana-pancakes/.
I used one egg white instead of one full egg, three table spoons of almond flour instead of 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup instead of 1 cup of almond milk and one teaspoon instead of 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. They burn easily because of the Banana and unfortunately when I flipped them they fell apart :-(. But even if they do not look great they tasted amazing. I will make them again for sure!

If you have a favourite pancakes recipe then please share it with me!!?!!

Easy lunch!

Last Friday it was very warm here in South Carolina so I didn't feel like bringing some food to warm up with me and made myself a mixed salad and a sandwich. It was done in 10 minutes and was super yummy!

 Ezekiel bread cut in half, mustard, organic turkey meat and cucumbers.  

 Spinach, avocado, tomato, mushrooms, carrots and some balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

And because it was so warm I enjoyed my lunch outside. What is your easy go to lunch (or dinner)?

Have a great day!

Christmas time!

It is crazy how fast this year went by and now we are already in December and Christmas is just two weeks away. I have to say I never experianced the Christmas time so warm. Last week we always had temperatures in the 70ies (over 20 degree Celsius). It was like summer!
But shopping for Christmas gifts, the music everywhere and all the Christmas decorations make me realize that Christmas is here soon. Plus I have the best Mami in the world. She sent me and my husband an advents calendar. How cool is this!!?!!

We also had a Christmas Party last night from my husband's work and of course I dressed up in red and sparkle ;-)!

I enjoyed a glass of white wine and I had some treats but I want to make sure that over the next few weeks with all the parties and holidays I keep my eats very clean during the week so I can enjoy some treats on the weekend. How do you handle the Christmas time so you don't gain too much?
