Pancakes!

You know those food blogs, with the perfectly staged photographs of the food? They look so pretty and you want to gobble them up. Yeah, you won't find that here.  Every now and then I have to remember how the hell I made something though, because it was just that good, so this is the best place for now.

I have been on this weirdo kick lately where I take a meal replacement shake and try to cook something with it. It's always a gamble. What if it tastes like shit and then I've wasted a precious shake?! Precious, because I also hoard my favorite flavors, and some are limited release shakes, which means when they're gone, they're gone. 

But man, today I made lemon shake pancakes, with what I will call a blueberry sauce. And it is divine. Not pretty, but divine. I may or may not have licked the plate, I'm not telling.

For the pancake, I put in the blender-

One Advocare lemon shake packet

-1 egg plus 1 egg white

-1-2 tsp baking powder

-1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (will probably try 1/4 cup next time)

Blended well and then cooked on the griddle.

For the blueberry sauce-

In saucepan I put:

-about a cup of water (didn't measure, just guessing).

-1 T of this

-one packet Advocare Oasis

-a handful of fresh blueberries

Boiled and simmered for a bit. At the end I removed some sauce and mixed in about 1 T of cornstarch to thicken it.

Poured the sauce over the pancakes and voila! Amazingly delicious.  If I had any whipped cream in the house, I would have thrown that shit on top too.

Pretty stoked to know that was one shake I didn't waste!
