Things That Make Me Happy #8 Pancakes and Sleeping In

You, your bed, a candle, a movie or a book and a long good nights sleep - isn't that what everybody wants on the weekend?
 

Yes, it makes me very happy to lie in on the weekends and I feel that I should not feel bad about doing it either because my body needs it's rest especially after a week of non stop school and work...or I just like sleeping - take which ever excuse you want.

The best thing is when I decide to wake up late and make pancakes because those days seems to bring the ultimate happiness within me. Its a fact - food is not just food for my body but food for my soul :)

Don't worry I try to keep my pancakes as healthy as I can by using oats instead of flour, not adding sugar (you can use honey to sweeten it on top), dark chocolate instead of the purely indulging nutella (oh, sneaky birthday treat I need you) and topping it with fruit such as bananas (natural sweetener) or blueberries.

Trust me, on one of these mornings you would want to be here with me but I would like to apologies in advance and warn you of how I tend to fangirl over the smallest things like cute breakfasts and coffee. Well that's me for you.

How do you like to unwind or relax on the weekends? Music, movies or mates?

Frosty Window...



This week, as I sat delighting in my beautiful pancakes and sipping on my mocha (urm, I have a BIT of a coffee obsession...) I was called upstairs by my little sister to see the window.

And wow I was shocked. Hopefully the camera has picked up the beautiful patterns that we created by the frost because I really couldnt belive something so intricate could be created naturally. I just thought it would be lovely to share because I have never seen something that I have been in awe of ...on a window.Well, I guess it was all down to Jack Frost!

Simple Sugar Free Pancakes


Recently I have trying my best to eat healthily...but that doesn't mean that I don't continuously crave chocolate and feel the need to satisfy my sweet tooth!

I found a recipe for pancakes and decided to try it out and was amazed by how simple and healthy (no sugar!) it was but how darn delicious it tastes.

Ingredients for 2 servings:
-Oats (I used 2 packs of Oats so Simple)
-1 egg
-1 Banana (chopped)
-Almond Milk...which I guesstimated (I used Alpro but any milk will do)

Toppings :
-Melted dark chocolate
-Coconut shavings

Bled the oats by itself so it resembles flour then add the banana (natural sweetener), egg and almond milk and blend it until it is a liquid pancake mixture. Cooked them like normal pancakes adding any wonderful type of toppings and then serve! Simples.

What are your favorite pancake toppings?
