FlapJACKed Protein Pancakes

I cant believe that is has been a week since my accident. 7 full days. Despite how cranky I was, this week really has flown on by. And I can say my ankle seems to be healing up quite nicely. I am not sure if it really is on the medical side of it all if it really is, but mentally and the fact I walk a little bit on it, seems like a good plus for me. I still am having some pain, but not a tremendous amount.

Today, it is a super rainy day here in Florida, which for once is kind of nice. One, because I don't feel so bad just laying around and resting when it isn't a beautiful day out. It actually feels really nice and cozy in our apartment, so nice I think I might take a nap soon lol. I am though seriously ready to get back to work. I want to dress up again, shower every day, etc. Yes, I have not showered every day because what the heck is the point. I have stayed in numerous types of P.J.s this week and I am kind of okay with that.

Since I have been subjected to doing a lot of stuff online, which Pinterest, Influenster, CrowdTap and others have been a huge part of keeping me busy, so has Amazon and shopping.

I received two 5.00 gift cards through Crowdtap last month. Crowdtap is an awesome website where you do challenges, answer survey questions and do tasks for various brands and you enter into prizes each month, like gift cards to Target, Walmart, and Amazon. It is pretty neat and sometimes you get to sample products.

With the two gift cards I receieved I ordered FlapJack Protein Pancake Mixes. They are hard to find at stores, so shopping online for them is much easier. I have tried a flavor of theirs before in one of my subscription boxes and really enjoyed them. So I found them on Amazon and got a great deal. 10.50 for the 3 bags, which I also signed up for Amazon Prime for a free 30 day trial.


Once I got them in, I knew EXACTLY what I would having for breakfast each morning. First was the Apple Cinnamon.

The instructions are quite easy 1 cup of water with 1 cup of mix. Those instructions are for if you are serving two people. I did just 1/2 cup of mix and 1/2 cup of water, which gave me 3 pancakes.


I cut up a small apple and sprinkled it with cinnamon and put it in the microwave for about a minute and then layered it in between the pancake and drizzled them with sugar free syrup!!! Holy Yum!!! The pancakes taste great and have 15 grams of protein, making me feel fuller longer. I love that!!!

Since I became quite obsessed with these, I made the banana Hazelnut the next day.


These ones I added Blueberries to them and sugar free syrup. This flavor came to 5pp and 4pp for the apple cinnamon.

I am obsessed with making pancakes now. What I like about these is you can make a lot of them and freeze them and the defrost them when I want them. Plus I mean the possibilities are endless with toppings!!!

If you want a filling breakfast and looking to add more protein, find them and I promise you will love them!!

Low Point Apple Crisp

At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now.

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going
