Lemon Pancakes (Minus the Poppyseeds)

by

I’ve been getting bored with my food routine lately, so I did some Pinterest and blog research to find some new recipes. These lemon pancakes were made for brunch one day, and they were so light and refreshing. Probably a result of all the Greek yogurt I put in them. I should buy stock in Fage.

I adapted the recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod because I was too poor to buy the $4 jar of poppyseeds. To make it less overwhelmingly lemony, I topped them with Crofter’s raspberry jam, powdered sugar and MORE plain Greek yogurt. Didn’t even notice the lack of syrup!

I made this!

If you would like a copy (I also have 3 other Christmas prints), please leave a comment! I would be happy to send you one for a teeny lil price tag.

Fitness Find: 50by25

I was looking for race reviews of the Route 66 Marathon online last night in an attempt to get pumped for my race later this month, and I happened upon 50by25, a really extensive blog about Laura, the current world record holder for the youngest person to run a marathon in all 50 states! I got lost in her race recaps for about an hour last night, but it was totally worth it.

This just made me LOL out loud at a coffee shop. That deserves a reblog.

DIY: Katniss Everdeen Halloween Costume

by

For Halloween this year, I originally intended on being one of the Spice Girls with some friends. Luckily, they got an idea for a smaller group costume so I could duck out of the group and be one of my favorite book characters ever: the Girl on Fire.

This was a really easy and cheap Halloween costume to make. It cost me approximately $5! Here’s what you need to be Katniss Everdeen:

  • A braid (kind of essential)
  • A brown shirt that looks kind of rough (got this from Goodwill + I added some cuts to mine with some makeup as “dirt” and “blood”)
  • Olive green pants
  • Brown boots
  • Mockingjay pin (I just printed one off the Internet, but you can find them at Hot Topic)
  • Extra credit: a bow and arrow (I saw some tutorials to make one but I ran out of time)
  • Makeup wise, I just wore foundation + blush + bronzer + mascara and added some “dirt” (brown eyeshadow) to my face.

Here’s the result! I’ll be wearing this to my Halloween party tonight.

I know I did the finger symbol wrong. I’ll do better tonight at the party!
