Out of supplies?

If you think you have nothing to eat, you are probably wrong.

Dig through the refrigerator and find all your half used bell peppers, onions, cilantro, tomatoes, any type of Veggie! Chop them up and throw them in a wok or sauce pan, add a dash of olive oil and grill them up!

This time I added Tofu - I was raised vegetarian, so I don't use too much meat...but you could add chicken or whatever is left over that MUST be used!!

The options are endless and always delicious! Usually the vegetables add sauce of their own, so it ends up being super clean!

Cook up some polenta or quinoa or just have it as one big dish! Excellent, and nutritious!!

Always back to Breakfast

The other day, Allison posted a status on Facebook inquiring what people eat the night before a race. I didn't answer, but, I usually vier towards breakfast. Or mexican food...

Saturday morning i busted out my favorite mix! I love pancakes, but the goodies that go on top usually ruin me, as do all the empty carbs!!

I have "created" quite the whopper though.

Buckwheat pancakes!!
Follow the instructions on the box (i usually use soy/almond milk and two egg whites, no yokes), then add:

Extra water
Flax Seed Meal
Wheat Germ
Cinnamon
Some crushed rolled oats
If you need it....one scoop protein powder. I added this the morning of the race...

So delicious! and light and fluffy! The extra ones i threw in my cooler for a post race snack with yogurt!

For the topping, i opened the refrigerator to see what i could find!
Strawberries
Blueberries
Black berries

I threw a handful of each in a bowl, added about 1/2 cup water and some agave nectar!
Put it in the microwave for 3 minutes and you have the BEST fruit compote for your topping!! (Trust me, from working at a Bed and Breakfast...this stuff can be REALLY full of sugar and naughty stuff!)
It only took me about 15 minutes to make all of it start to finish!! YUM!
