Best of 2011
New Years is always a bittersweet time for me. I get really excited about the idea of a new beginning but I also feel sad about leaving another year behind. Sometimes it feels like I didn’t accomplish enough which I have to remember isn’t true!

Catching Up
Hi guys! Sorry about the lack of content lately. I have been busy busy and my new house has yet to discover Internet. As things settle down, I promise to make it up to you with plenty of delicious recipes that I have been hiding! In case you missed it I did have a guest post last week on Moves and Munchies! I shared a delicious recipe for chocolate peanut butter swirl pancakes. As you may know I love peanut butter! Last weekend I finally got around to making my own at home. I have never been more excited. I used this recipe except halved it and used already ground flax seed. It…

Coconut Cream Pie Pancakes
Hooray for coconut! I recently found some coconut flour at a new bulk store in my area. I have been intrigued by this interesting gluten free flour after seeing it on many other blogs. I knew that I had to try it! It seems to me that coconut is taking over our grocery stores. We can now get not only whole coconuts and coconut flour but also coconut milk, coconut water, shredded coconut, coconut sugar, and coconut oil just to name a few. And why not? Coconut has so many things going for it: its full of healthy fats, can lower bad cholesterol levels, provides a nutritional source of quick…

Vegan Gluten Free Coconut Pancakes
It has been a goal of mine to make a special gluten free and vegan dish for a while. I have also wanted to experiment with coconut milk. Today I finally got around to doing it! I must say the result were scrumptious. The perfect winter morning breakfast has definitely got to be pancakes. Especially as the week upon me is going to be freezing. And what better way to dream of summer than with the tropical taste of coconut? I don’t know about you but I love coconut. I love the taste, the smell, the texture, and even the shape. Right now I am imagining myself sipping the milk…

Trains and Pancakes
Dear Train, Please never leave me out in the freezing cold again. It was minus 30 degrees Celsius outside at seven in the morning. Yet somehow you collided with a car. And you made me late for my lab. Why is it that emergencies like this always happen in freezing weather? This is the second time you have left me trapped downtown in the winter weather And like the fourth or fifth time overall that I have been abandoned by you The first time I was actually a passenger on you when you got into an accident. That was not fun. And why is it that random strange people always talk to…

What Color are You?
Last weekend I went to a retreat that focused on the True Colors communications style personality test. This test focuses on what type of person you tend to be when working in a group. It also builds a model for understanding yourself and others. It is called True Colors because you can either be labelled as gold, blue, orange, or green. Gold is responsible. This color represents a need to fulfill duties in order to organize and structure life. People who are gold are practical and sensible. They believe in hard work. Blue is compassionate. It represents calm. Blue people are very emotional and caring. They tend to put others before themselves. Blue people…
