Oven-Puffed Pancakes with Berries

This morning I awoke with Oven-Puffed Pancakes with Berries on my mind. I whipped up a batch speedy quick and then I was out the door for a little Sunday morning yoga.  

This morning yoga was hard. The entire class appeared exhausted only after the first 20 minutes, and this was a 90 minute class. The instructor challenged us to push ourselves and to repeat the same sequence over and over again for like a zillion times. The sweat poured off my brow, my nose and my chin. My arms quaked under my own weight, and to add insult to injury, I think balance all but abandoned me. I wobbled in Revolve Crescent and barely held on to Half Moon Pose. Many of these poses I've done with ease many a times, but not this morning. No way. That first 20 minutes had wiped me out. 

I took solace in knowing that once the 90 minutes was up, I would return home to a plate of puffy pancakes. Plus, today Jon and I celebrated our 11-year wedding anniversary. Can you believe it? 11-years.

And even though I came home looking haggard as hells, the beautiful Daffodils that Jon presented me with this morning put a smile on my face. I think I blushed a little -- or maybe that was just the sweat burning my cheeks. I'm not sure -- at this point it was all a blur.


I finally showered, dressed and dabbed a bit of make-up on my face and sat down to a sliver of puffed pancake. The little bit that I got was delicious.
