What Color Is Ghost Blood

WHITE of course!

IMG_7927

And coconutty. And makes a perfect topping for pumpkiny pancakes

Ghost this !

IMG_7941

IMG_7920

The pumpkin made the Kodiak cakes SO SOFT!!! Matt proclaimed them the best pancakes he ever had (and my gosh that boy does not like pumpkin!)

IMG_7919

I added this much to the two serving mix – maybe 1/4 a cup? Plus a pinch each of all spice and cinnamon.

IMG_7916

Made two fluffy orange cakes, which I under-topped with a little crunchy buckwheat granola. (I say under-topped because I put the topping on the second side and when I flip, that becomes the bottom so the toppings are hidden. Makes for a fun surprise when you eat them!)

IMG_7925

IMG_7936

The ‘cakes were topped with ghost blood, chia seeds, coconut and a drizzle of sunflower butter. OH and banana. Can’t forget the banana.

IMG_7934

IMG_7932

Wicked!

IMG_7938

IMG_7928

Why all this talk about ghost blood?

IMG_7926

Cause it’s on sale for Healthy Living Halloween ! I THINK it’s the cheapest coconut butter across the interweb (Garlic Gold, foam rollers, and blood sucking stainless straws are also all discounted)

I was going to go to YOGA but I woke up too late! ARG! Might swim today instead Gotta rest my legs for tomorrow’s birthday 10K. Big weekend coming up!!

    Hey Kath – I’m not sure if you’re interested but I wanted to tell you about a new gadget I discovered. It has completely changed my swim. It’s from: http://www.h2oaudio.com/. I actually bought mine from Amazon because I also had to buy the correct Ipod for it. So, it got a little expensive but you might be able to get a free one to try. It’s an underwater iPod holder and it’s awesome! I got the “Interval” so it hooks onto the back of my goggles. Now, instead of wishing the clock would speed up during my swim, I wish it would SLOW down!

      If I get into swimming more than once a week, I might investigate. Although, maybe I need it TO swim more than once a week!

    Hey Kath! I was thinking about how much you love pumpkin and I realized you may need to make a road trip someday…to Circleville Ohio. The third week of October they have the Pumpkin Show. People come from all over! AND you can get pumpkin anything…pumpkin waffles, brownies, doughnuts, bread, chilli, hambugers, etc. So if you are ever in Ohio the third week of October you should check it out 🙂

    I bought a tiny packet of coconut butter one time and my 2-year-old LOVED it. I guess this would be a good time to get some more! Thanks for sharing (offering?) the discount.

    Was the pumpkin detectable in the pancakes, or did it just make them softer? My boyfriend isn’t a huge pumpkin eater either, but he loves pancakes!

      They were not very pumpkiny. I would have added more if it were just me, but since Matt doesn’t love it, I only added a small blob.

    Ohhhh… this makes me want breakfast for dinner. I “undertop” with blueberries a lot – love how juice-like they get! And, of course, chocolate chips are always a fantastic undertopping.

    How do you soften your coconut butter? Mine has the texture of crisco – which is not very appetizing.
