This past weekend I spent three glorious days with 3 of my best friends for a girl’s weekend. While we felt sad that some of our other friends couldn’t make it, we had an amazing weekend!

Show someone you care for both their heart and their tastebuds with these chocolate protein pancakes covered in raspberry sauce!

Pancakes are quite possibly the greatest way to start your day.

I’ve been crushing on protein pancakes for the past 5 years and have made them in tons of flavors ~ blueberry, pumpkin, funfetti, cinnamon roll, berries & cream, bananas foster, bacon, and carrot cake. I pretty much eat them every morning.

Obviously, it was time to make some to celebrate Valentine’s Day! [Read more…]
