Happy Monday!
Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and are enjoying the fresh new start to the week. Can’t believe we’re back to the usual routine already.
This weekend was quite low key over here, nothing too crazy. We did enjoy some beautiful weather, which was nice.
The morning started with a quick 30 minute pilates routine to get my body moving for the day. Still keeping things on the lighter side over here.
Breakfast was fabulous, and consisted of some yummy pancakes, inspired by the marvelous Katie.
Best meal of the day for sure!
I added in a whole egg to the mix and for some reason I can’t get down with the yolk in sweet things, I mean you can’t really taste it that much when you completely cover you pancakes in protein frosting anyways…but it just tastes weird to me. Like it should taste savoury instead?. Or perhaps I’m just the weird one. Yeah, that sounds about right.
Oatmeal Pancake cooked in coconut oil, topped with protein frosting and a side of fresh berries.
Sorry for the ugly picture, I’ve been too obsessed with instagram lately, I should probably whip out my actual camera soon…
Made with 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1 egg, 3 egg whites, baking powder, stevia, and 1 tablespoon flax seeds.
Of course, coffee is also needed, as always!
I definitely know what I’ll be asking for for my birthday this year…an espresso maker.
I’m too lazy to go out and search for my own. So I’ll just keep buying starbucks until someone buys a coffee maker for me.
That sounds like a win in my books.
While I was browsing the internet, I saw this. Would you enjoy coffee in an edible coffee cup? How fun is that!?!
I mean, clearly this will be the next big thing. It’s so incredibly practical to bring to work and I’m sure it’s super sanitary as well.
A trip to the market was also made to stock up on an abundance of produce. Obviously.
I felt relieved I went so early in the morning, it was basically deserted which never happens if you go later on. I got in and out in a breeze. Lovely.
And now I need to find a way to use up my massive amounts of zucchini I have over here. There are SO many zucchini recipes out in blog land right now, so its hard to choose just one;)
Have a fantastic day! I’ll leave you with a happy quote to add a little positivity to your morning or afternoon, or whenever you read this.

What was marvelous about your day today?
About Lisa
an edible coffee cup would rock my world!!!
It’s so cool!
zucchini is my favorite this time of year, it helps it is always on sale at my local market so I have it many times a week. That pancake looks great, I will have to give it a try. Edible cups, oh nom. I would love that.
I can’t stop buying it! Its always on sale here as well! Such a big summer staple.
I am loving that cup! How damn cool!
I have been SO bad at just using my iphone for pics and not my camera, I know what you mean!
Your pancake looks fabulous though! Glad you enjoyed it! <3
Haha, yah I feel bad showing people my iphone pictures! But, oh well they don’t look too bad!
I love that pancake, it rocks:)
I started my day with a great workout! And a delicious breakfast. Always sets me off on the right foot. Weekend was full of lots of sun too!
Have a good day
Days started off that way are always fabulous!
Haha – I think we’re all using our camera phones for blog posts lately. I am NO exception…except with my recipes. Then I’ll use the diesel camera .
Edible coffee cup?! Yes pleeeeease. You are MAREVLOUS! The end.
You are marvelous yourself!
Haha yah the phone is just so much easier to use!
Love that quote! I am loving all of the zucchini recipes out there too! I can’t decide which ones to try first! Those pancakes look amazing! I was dying to try Katie’s version and now I’m dying to try out your version too!
I know same here! I just haven’t made any because there are so many. I should really just change that now.
Not a fan of coffee, but tea in an edible cup? I would absolutely be down for that.
Tea in an edible cup sounds pretty cool too:)
I have to go to the market early or I get stressed out. They are redoing my local grocery store and it is a ZOO!! I can’t find anything and people keep running into each other with their carts. Talk about annoying haha
I feel the same way! I get anxiety if I go later on because it is so incredible busy!
Ahh I have been buying so much coffee lately as well, it needs to stop!!!
Yah, I have a serious addiction hah;)
Oh man I have so many zucchinis right now, too! and I keep getting more, haha! I can’t help it; they are so cheap at my farmers market that I can’t say no. I will be eating lots of zucchini muffins and my newest favorite thing to put them in: egg scrambles! I shred up a zucchini and plop it in to cook with the eggs. It’s pretty tasty!
Its insane how many I have! And I haven’t even baked with them yet because there are so many recipes I can’t choose one. Haha, I’m so weird.
Oh yes, eggs and zucchinis make an awesome combo!!
Loving that quote Lisa, thank you for bringing it to my attention today… always helpful on a Monday especially
Zucchinis are indeed great right now, so large, flavorful and CHEAP! Always a good thing haha
That cup is crazy-awesome too, I agree about the win status!
Zucchinis are insanely cheap right now! They’ve become a staple simply for that reason. I can’t wait to actually bake with them. I’ve surprisingly never had zucchini bread before!
that protein pancake looks delicious!!!! and i know… a starbucks habit is SO hard to break.
It’s almost impossible haha. Especially with no coffee maker at home.
love that quote!! So, so true. I really ilke your pancake recipe, too. And edible coffee mug? yes please!
Umm, no. Iv told you before, you aren’t capable of taking ugly pictures! Breakfast looks delicious.
I’m totally with you on the egg yolk thing. I normally just use egg whites in my microwave protein cakes, but I decided to use the whole egg one time- and I did not like it, and was all like, ‘ well that was a waste of a yolk!’. I actually just use whites In your pancake recipe that I’m obsessed with, even though a whole egg is in the ingredients list.
Now, yolks eaten in a more savoury way is a whole other story, they are the best part!
Trips to that market are so fun to me! I’m literally excited by fresh fruit & veggies.
Xxx
Yes yolks in savoury are the only way too go! So delicious! I definitely feel the same about yolks in sweet things. Tastes so wrong to me or something!
I don’t even drink coffee, but I’m thinking smoothies would taste just as wonderful paired w/ that Edible Cookie Cup
.
Haha that would be awesome to have an edible cup to drink smoothies out of;)
Oh man, I want egg yolks in absolutely everything. I am so weirded out by that cup…it’s kind of cool, but I do not want it, lol.
I know, its cool, but I don’t think I’d actually buy one. It seems slightly wrong to me hah
how does one make that mug? Cause i need it. Dang. Loving all the instagram pics. Makes me feel close to you, hehe.
Haha, I know what you mean! I feel closer to people when they post pics of their daily lives.
I know, I wonder how you even make that mug?! It looks like intense labour is put into creating that.
mmmmm yummy pancake girl
today is fabulous all around! 
Love that edible cup idea!! That produce place looks incredible!! Today was fabulous because I got off work a bit early.
PS… what is your instagram name??
Getting off work early is always fun!:)
instagram: lisa_lately
I think we may be following each other now though
An edible coffee cup?! That sounds like heaven on earth.
Even though I still find myself at Starbucks almost every day, my Keurig was one of the best investments I’ve ever made. I love it!
Happy Monday! <3
Haha, I feel like I’d do the same. Buy a coffee maker and still end up at starbucks. Whatever, there are worse things to be addicted too;)
Ha, oh man, I would love that edible coffee cup! Looks yummy too.
How amazing that frosting on your pancakes looks! Can you explain the greenish colour
?
Yes! Haha, I guess it looks kind of weird!
Its made with vanilla chai vega protein powder. Which is green in colour, which makes it look super odd;)
my maaaahvelous is that it is 6am and Ive already meditated…
off to take on the tuesday.
It always feels so good to get that meditation in first thing in the morning!
Its something I’ve been trying to add more into my daily routine now!
Oh man, props for hauling your butt to starbucks every morning. i’m pretty nonfunctional without my morning coffee too, and I would NOT be without my coffee pot! I even took it to college and secretly kept it in my dorm….I hid it in my laundry basket when the fire marshall came to do inspection lol…you can get a pretty good one for like $15 at target, they even come in pink!! And whoaaa edible coffee cups – that would be amazing. WAY more eco-friendly than paper cups, my inner hippie loves that!
I live super close, so its not always that long of a haul haha.
Oh man, I was totally the same in college! It was the year I started needing coffee daily!
I love that you secretly kept it in your dorm, that’s awesome! Luckily we were aloud them where I lived.
