Pumpkin Pie Pancakes

Firstly, please bear with my website for the next few days. I am testing out some different features, meaning it will be changing quite a bit over the next few days. Hopefully it will be back in full working order by the end of the week. To anyone intending to move their blog from Blogger to WordPress….and then to Bluehost….Don’t do it yourself! There should be a “Don’t try this at home” warning sign on the Tools section. I severely screwed it up, and I am extremely grateful my friend Paul saved the day, and is working hard to make it better than ever!

On to Meatless Monday. I am sorry. I resisted for as long as I could, but I just had to let summer go, and accept the fall with open arms. Although fall in Kentucky is kind of like a pleasant summer in Michigan!

I have therefore caved to the pumpkin pressure, and decided it was time to use fall’s favorite fruit (yes, I did have to look up whether it was fruit or vegetable) into some fluffy, flavorsome pancakes. These delicious pancakes contain Greek yogurt and 2 eggs to bulk up the protein. With 15g real protein, 64g of carbohydrates, and 15g fat, they contain the right amount of each macronutrient to help you recover faster. Extra carbs are also great for runners to replenish glycogen stores after long runs or workouts.

I am encouraging all of you to continue your pledge for Meatless Monday, and keep bringing new recipes to our linkup. We need to spread the word, and every person who eats meat free once per week, will make a difference. It doesn’t matter if you can’t make your meatless day Monday, you can still add your recipe, just please include our button!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend, less than 3 weeks till Chicago Marathon!

Have a Marvelous Monday!
