Easy Gluten-Free Pancakes

When was the last time you had cake or pie for breakfast? Cookies? Brownies? Ice cream or pudding?

Unless you’re my husband, you probably don’t make a regular practice of eating these dessert items for breakfast; and to be fair to him, it’s only a cookie or two that occasionally make it on the plate with his eggs. But also to be fair to him, he eats “dessert” at breakfast fat less than most Americans.

Don’t believe me?

What do you call donuts, coffee cakes and other “breakfast” pastries? How about waffles, French toast, or pancakes smothered in sugary syrup? Heck! Even most of the cereals in a typical grocery store have poorer nutritional consistency than some of the desserts mentioned above.

Snow Day Body Weight Workouts

SNOW DAY!!!  YAY!!!!!???

So a couple weeks ago we had the first snow day of the year and the gym was a ghost town.  My clients were dropping like flies because they were snowed in (or realized they had a great excuse… JK, I know you try), and immediately, two thoughts went through my head.

  1. Just because there is snow, doesn’t mean you should miss a workout!

  2. Some of them have kids at home, and they’re probably going to be insane!

Now, since that day was the first snow day of the year, I wasn’t super worried.  I was confident that the kids would want to play in the snow (since the first snow is always pretty and not gross, mushy February snow), and my clients would realize that shoveling the driveway and sidewalk is a great workout (hint hint!).

However, now that it’s later in the year that may not be the case.  The weather may not be nice enough to get outside and play (work) in the snow, or maybe you live in a condo or apartment complex so you don’t *get* to shovel your own drive!

No worries!  I got you!

Here are TWO of my favorite super quick workouts that you can do at home, easy-peasy lemon-squeezy!  They’re short, but they’ll get your heart rate up and make you use your body weight for some simple strength work as well.  Bonus!
