Today has been quite the hurricane in itself!! I set my alarm for 6:26 so I could meet Kelsey + Ashley for some hot yoga. Ashley just moved to Denver but was back for a visit!
I came downstairs to find NO POWER!? I had it upstairs but not down. Very confused. I thought maybe it was the circuit breaker so I checked that with no luck. And then I realized the fridge was out and started to get nervous. What if there was a problem with our wiring that was caused by the outage and caused the downstairs to not come back on.
I decided to just hope it was back on when I got home and made myself a mini breakfast: Great Harvest Cranberry Orange Muffin + Nuttzo lit by a flashlight!
AND THEN THE POWER CAME ON!!! Saved the day.
Yoga class started at 8 and was great. Nice and warm on a chilly day. Afterwards K+A invited me back for pancakes!! I wasn’t that hungry from my muffin, but I decided to join them to hang out some more despite not having dry clothes or my camera! Thanks to Kelsey’s camera for the juice.
On the menu: Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Pancakes!
Those two are not afraid of butter!
Ashley made two K’s and A!
I dined on a pancake taco and a K
And clementine
Annnd had a bite of one more 
Miss Penny desperately wanted some.
Come back soon Ashley!!
I’m going to take a hot shower and sip some hot coffee!

Love the TJ’s pumpkin pancakes! They are so yummy.
What a great day! I have to try those pancakes.
This hurricane-turned-tropical-storm-turned-torrential-downpour is crazy! VA has even declared a state of emergency. I just hope to keep my electricity(although it can go off in my office, that would be fine).
I need to buy thata TJ’s pumpkin pancake mix! I keep forgetting to buy it.
I wish I could find a hot yoga class in my area!
What a great way to start the day! Like Amanda, the closest hot yoga class is 45 minutes away and it starts at 7:00 a.m.!
I should look again though to see if one is closer, I haven’t checked for a while.
aww that dog is so pretty!! and the pancakes are too funny…. love the letters! that would be fun for kids, too i think
You guys are so cute. You look like you had so much fun. I love pancake parties and those pancakes look so good!
I haven’t had pancakes in SO LONG. I should probably make them soon because i loooove pancakes!
I love when problems fix themselves! Yay for the power coming back on magically.
I always make shapes or letters with my pancakes! My papa always use to make big ‘A’ pancakes when I was little, and they just don’t taste as good unless they look like an ‘A’!
So glad your power came back on!!
I need to make some pumpkin pancakes ASAP!
Gah! I ALMOST got that mix on Sunday! Kind of regretting it now
something hot to drink sounds great! I can’t believe this weather we are (still) having..I’m scared to get out there and walk the dog lol
Aw, Penny’s so cute
And so are you girls ahah 
Hmmm pancaaaakes.
Pumpkin pancakes? That’s just plain genius! I wish we had a Trader Joe’s here in Canada!!!
pancakes look awesome! good choice to go hang out with the girls and have a second breakfast
oh i hate it when the power’s out! glad it came back on for ya. hot yoga sounds perfect on a chilly day!
gahhh i am so jealous that you got to hang out with penny! oh, and kelsey
but penny is a DOLL!
Mmmm, those pancakes look so good!
Glad your power came back!
Yum pumpkin pancakes! Hot yoga sounds fun I need to find a place to do that. Odd that the power was only out in one floor? I always worry about the food too! LOL Such foodies. Save the food!
yum, those pancakes look great! What a fun way to start the day
I’ve never tried TJ’s pumpkin pancakes! Need to remember that next time I’m there
cute breakfast pics. i love meeting friends for breakfast or going out for it. always seems so festive.
That pancake mix also makes amazing muffins! Especially when some apple is grated into the batter.
Those pancakes look gooood! I’ve always wanted to try that mix whenever I see it at TJ’s. I also wanted to tell you that I was at a Pavilion’s grocery store the other day and saw that they sell those Biscoff cookies you get on your flights. Don’t know if you have those stores in your area though, I am in southern california. Thought you’d like to know!
Great way to start to day — yoga, friends, and pancakes!
what a fun morning! and i’m glad those two aren’t afraid of butter–it’s teh KEY to yummy pancakes!!!
YUMMO! Pumpkin pancakes + hot yoga sounds like a great start to the day! Sorry about your hurricane…it was here a couple of days agao and now I’m looking out the window at sunny skies!! So- hopefully it will get better. Have a great day!
Aw, cute picture of you girls!! And I’m digging the spooky flashlight photo
Love a girl who isn’t afraid of butter! Just a little bit can go a long way…
I love Trader Joe’s and anything pumpkin….I’ll have to try that mix! Yum!
What a fun morning!! I’m partial to the K pancake
How weird that the power was on in half the house?!?!?! Hmmmmm…..I need to find some hot yoga…oh yeah and the time to do it!
We are totally getting downpoured on here in VA too…. I don’t think I’ve seen the sun since Monday and it is just so gloomy outside, not to mention really windy! I hope this clears up for the weekend and there isn’t that bad of flooding… we shall see?
I have that mix!!!! I’ve been saving it for a “perfect timing” day!!!!
Those pancakes look great. Perfect fall weather food! Im glad your power came back on! That always stinks when somethings happens to it. Have a super day!
I would have been freaking out about the frozen food if I woke up to no power.
Shining a flashlight on your food is too funny
That muffin looks delish! I have a Vitamuffin packed for a snack today, and while they are good, yours looks 100% better. I wish there was a GH in San Diego.
Awww, you guys are so cute! Sounds like a perfect way to start out the morning!
Scary about the power though. I always get worried when the power goes out that everything will get spoiled in my fridge and freezer. Luckily, that hasn’t happened yet!
Pumpkin pancakes? A phenomenal idea!
Your K cake is so cute!
<3Karina
I have been ‘eye-ing’ that pancake mix at TJ’s lately. Yummy?
glad you enjoyed a nice morning with the girls!

Cute photo at the end! Pancakes yum!
Enjoy!
i think yoga would be the most perfect thing to start the day, i gotta get into that asap!
so glad your power wasnt out for long. i hate it when the power goes out
Aw how fun! Those pancakes are good! I made some for the husband last weekend and sneaked a bite on my way out the door – very delish! Love the letter cakes!
That is the same face that Peanut gives me when she wants something. Awww
Those pancakes look great!
Glad the power wasn’t out for too long. I hate it when that happens.
Sometimes you just need some butter in your life.
Nice creativity with the pancakes. I’m impressed.
My twin sister and I absolutely love your blog! It is one of our favorites. You inspired us to start writing a healthy food blog as well. You should check it out. We only recently have found a love for oats after reading your posts.

been wanting to try those pancakes – they are always calling out to me in the TJ’s aisle!
I *love* that pancake/waffle mix! I bought it while I was in San Francisco a month or so ago and it is SO good! I’ll be sad once it’s all gone because we don’t have a TJs here in Florida.
Yum!
