This past week I tried protein powder pancakes. We are in health kick w fertility diets and the only protein powder we had was peanut butter marshmallow. They turned out awesome!!!! Sadly I forgot I'm supposed to stay away from whey protein, but still. This week I'm going to try (ok, half the week is over so this week will be easy) yoga. I think I'm the only person I know who has never tried yoga and I have a dvd and think DD would get a kick out of it.

Def soy, Supposedly whey protein shakes (with exception of like on specifically designed for fertility) aren't "clean" as in are used from cows w hormones, antibiotics,and other issues. So for me- trying to do strict clean eating fertility diet- it would be counter productive to use a protein shake I am unsure of and counteract the organic and hormone free eating I have been doing. I found a vegetable based protein that is clean and more easily absorbed too and I get a lot of other benefits too as it is all vegan (I am not vegan by the way but the nutritional availability can't be denied). Anyway, most places will say whey is perfect for adding protein for fertility needs, but my reasons are above and for my personal edification that if I get ku'd it worked, if I don't- I did everything right I could and it didn't work so donuts, pizza, and Baja blast can be back on the table later hahahahaha

Love this idea! It's not much but I bought a back of flax seeds this week and started putting them in stuff. Turns out they taste kind of like nuts and are really delicious. Also tried a few new cold oatmeal recipes which are great for summer.
We (DD and I) are going to take baking classes on the 2nd and the 9th. I suck at baking, but I think this will be so much fun for her! My friend is a pro (seriously) and she is offering all kinds of summer baking classes from ages 3- adult! This should be interesting!
Baking classes sound like fun! What are you going to learn how to make, @SassFrass? I have always talked about taking a cake decorating class, but never gotten round to it. I want to learn how to pipe frosting really well.

@GraceyandTroy for the age group I am helping her with, which ended up as a trade, my help=free classes for DD, are 3-4 year olds, which DD is 5, but she is a younger 5 since she just had her birthday, so I think she will still enjoy it, we are doing "spell-my-name cookies and homemade play dough" and then "cookies for dad, and homemade flubber" I am thinking about doing one just for me, where she is teaching to make a "stack of pancakes" cake... it looks so freaking cool! literally like a stack of pancakes, let me see if I can share the picture, its unbelievable!
@GraceyandTroy, THIS is the cake that she is teaching the adults to make! How freaking awesome is that! It is all icing/fondant detail too! even the "syrup"

What's wrong with whey protein? I thought soy protein was the one to avoid?

This week... Hmm. Well yesterday I roasted some artichokes, and made some mashed cauliflower which turned out more like risotto. It wasn't bad!
