Smells Like Rain

Sounds like rain.

IMG_5577Blog

Eyeballs confirmed: rain.

With spring weather comes April Showers, so it’s a trade off I will take.

Long time, no pancake!

IMG_5564Blog

I made one big fat Kodiak cake this morning (add less water to the batter to make it thick enough for a tall, fat pancake). I added some coconut and a few granola crumbs to the cake before flipping and then topped it with a tsp of cookie butter, seared banana, a scant tbsp of chia charger and some of my Ellwood Thompson granola (love that stuff Elly!)

IMG_5570Blog

It was a crunchy, creamy mess that was gone in 5 minutes!

IMG_5567Blog

Served with a teacup of tea

IMG_5579Blog

And a dash of rain splatter

I could use some yoga today. Good timing rain! But it already looks to be clearing out….

    So at first I thought it said “smells like rain” and I LOVE the smell of rain, yes I’m weird, so I was all excited. And then I realized it said “sounds like rain” that’s ok though, I am equally in love with the sound of rain.

    I like rain in general, I am weird. 🙂

      While the pancake skillet is hot, I spray a little oil misto and put the banana face down. It just sits there for about 4 minutes and then I flip it. When the pancake is done, it is done!

    I don’t think I’ve ever cut a banana vertically (obviously I haven’t been making banana splits correctly) and couldn’t figure out what yours was at first.

    Love that we’re getting warm rain at this time of year as opposed to freezing rain!

    Like I have expressed before, if it is January or February in the northern states, it should be snowing, not raining. The weather this year has been a lot different than last year when we got an influx of snow. Oh well! 🙂

    Just wanted to say thank you for all the great tips. I bought some of the chia charger off opensky and I love it. I spread it on toast in the morning or add to my oats and it keeps me fueled for hours. Your blog has become something I look forward to reading everyday and I usually end up trying your recipes or the products you recommend. I am very much hooked on Trader Joe’s Sunflower seed butter. Yum! I am trying to start a blog for my health coaching website but I am not a computer wiz. Any easy tips? Hope you have a great Weekend!!
