Gluten Free Avocado Banana Bread

This one is GOOD. We had bananas AND avocados that needed to be used ASAP so I decided to make a variation of our banana bread. It took me a few tries to get the ingredients right and about a year to post this recipe. ;-) I love to eat a slice with my breakfast or before my workout.

Clean Eating Everyday Pancakes

I've had this recipe done FOREVER because I've been making these almost every single week for Scott...I just could never get a good picture so I asked my amazing friend Kenzie (of Hettman Homestead) if she would make them and take a picture and she said yes! She's the one that we collaborated with to produce Baby Eats Clean, Breakfast Crock Pot Recipes eCookbook, and our FREE Desserts & Treats and Fit Festive Foods eCookbook. You can find out more about all of those amazing books here. So thanks to Kenzie and her amazing pictures, I can finally share this yummy recipe with you!

Another problem was that I also had no name for these and literally could not think of anything. Scott said to call them everyday pancakes (since he eats them every day). I'm not a big fan of the name but I'm going with it anyway! These pancakes are perfect to make in advance. We store them in the refrigerator and take out a few each time we want to eat them. You can heat them back up or enjoy them cold!

10-Minute Jump Rope Workout

We've extended the deadline to enter our Fall Workout Challenge! You have until Oct 7th! Learn more here.

Jump ropes always remind me of elementary school. They aren't just for PE class though, use them as a way to get your heart rate up quickly! They are light, travel easily and don't take up too much space. I love the workout they provide but, I'll admit, I'm not too good at it!

If you are in a crowded gym and can't actually use a jump rope you can still go through the motions with an imaginary jump rope. If you are looking for a good rope, you can find some very inexpensive ones at your local store or online. Here is one from Amazon (affiliate link).
