Morning!
I seriously can’t believe its Thursday! Im happy about it though!
{ Breakfast }
I am NOW officially addicted to my pancake popper pan !
Strawberry Oatmeal Protein Poppers
Best idea ever to use oats, since I love oats for breakfast every morning!
I thought about how much I love my oatmeal pancakes, so I decided to turn them into a popper.
Ingredients
1/2 cup oats
1 scoop of protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup egg whites
1 tbsp flaxseeds
strawberries
Strawberry filled goodness 
For the syrup, I mixed maple syrup and strawberry jam together, heated in microwave for 30 seconds
I also sprinkled some Trader Joe’s coffee, sugar, and chocolate sprinkles on top!
These were so good! I really am glad I got that new fun pan 
Whats going on today ?
Mike and I have fun plans tonight!
Going to the Penguins hockey game! Im excited! We are doing dinner before at Six Penn too!
This is actually Mike and I’s first hockey game together! When we lived in PA for those few months before we moved away, he had tix to a Penguins game, but I was out of town! I am happy that we get to go together tonight!
I love going to hockey games, I actually used to go to a lot when I was a little younger, I had crushes on a few Penguin players, haha! I used to skip school to watch the penguin players practice!
I was one of those crazy penguin fans and I had a huge crush on Ken Wregget who was their goalie! He actually gave me his goalie stick one time at practice, I almost died, haha! I was only 15 so I was a dork!
{ Questions }
Have you ever had a sports player crush?
Ever get to watch a practice for a sports team?
I only had crushes for 2 sports players, Ken Wregget from the Pittsburgh Penguins and Andre Agassi! I thought Andre was so hot, had his pics on my wall!

How fun! I’m not big into hockey, but I certainly enjoy it. Have a great time.
Thanks love! Happy Thursday!
Girl I LOVE hockey! I’m originally from Buffalo so I am a huge Sabres fan but my biggest sports crush is Doug Flutie! Had his pix in my locker from the time I was 12 and still love him today! Have a GREAT time tonight!
Yay for a hockey lover! Yes hockey is awesome, it is probably my favorite sport to watch!
Thanks so much!
Those strawberry oatmeal poppers look delish! I want to get a pan like that. So cute!
I’ve been to one hockey fan and it for the Philadelphia Flyers. I do have a crush on Chase Utley from the Phillies. I think he is super cute. Have fun at the game!
I used to skip school to go to see the Pens practice at the Iceoplex too! AND my cousin and I were in the crowd at the arena for the movie Sudden Death…also skipped school. I was still in elementary school (maybe middle-I actually forget) but she was in High School. It was so fun!
haha! Love that you did that too!! I loved waiting after practice too when you could get autographs from them! Oh the good old days!
These look awesome, Katie! I’m looking for new breakfast ideas so these are absolutely being bookmarked
They are! Thanks girl! <3
I think Sidney Crosby is super cute! He won’t be on the ice, but maybe a good view on the side lines? Let’s Go Pens!
Oh he is a cutie! Yes he might be ; )
Oh my gosh, that oatmeal pancake recipe looks delicious – and in ball form even more so! Very creative and fun! <3 Love it!
Oooh…I hope you have a wonderful time at the hockey game! I'd love to see an ice hockey match, I'd imagine they're heaps of fun! I used to love that movie with Joshua Jackson, the Mighty Ducks. He was nice to look at when I was younger, and totally got me into ice hockey, lol!
I think the All Blacks captain (we're talking NZ Rugby here, in case you are understandably lost, lol!) Richie McCaw is very hot!
Have a lovely day! xyx
I LOVE berries cooked into things – these look delicious!
Have fun tonight! I love doing things downtown – Six Penn is one of my favorites! Too bad it’s too cold to eat on the rooftop deck!
I know, I wish the weather was nicer!!!
Thanks love! xo
Justin LOVES hockey. And the season is SO long too!! He works a lot of hours starting in January, so he DVRs them and then watches them when he gets home or when he has time.
He gets so excited when there are fights!
Sports crushes… when I was young, I used to be IN LOVE with John Starks who played for the Knicks. Like I was obsessed. I loved the Knicks and would get so upset when he wasn’t playing because it was hard to look at him if he was sitting on the bench.
Oh , Justin and Mike would get along so well! Mike loves it too! We have NHL center ice so he can have all the games, haha!
I always go early to baseball games to watch batting practice and try to get some pics with the players. My current athlete crush is Novak Djokovic. I just love a tennis player!
PS. You have made me add pancake popper pan to my ever growing Christmas list!
Those poppers look so yummy. I love the strawberry in the middle.
I never had a sports player crush but I really admired the female bball player Rebecca Lobo when I was like 10. She played for Uconn the first year they won the championship and was the star player. I even waited in line with my grandmother to get her autograph haha. It’s funny to think about the childhood mindset now that I’m grown.
Awwww that is so sweet! I love thinking of memories, I waited in line to get Kenny Wregget’s ( hockey goalie ) Autograph!
Mhmm! Those look so good! I need to get one of those pancake poppers!
Have a great day!
Those pancake poppers are so cute!! Have fun at the hockey game tonight!! I love hockey!
Ahh! those pancake poppers look sooo yummy!! YAY for sports events, they are always so much more fun than watching them on TV.
Yes they are more fun to go to a game! Happy Thursday love! xo
Those berry poppers are do darn cute! And they sound tasty too.
Oh, I totally have a sports crush on Peyton Manning. *swoon*
What a super cute idea! Blueberry poppers would be so good too
You must be reading my mind! haha! I planned on that, and have blueberries bought for that idea too ; )
I’ve been thinking of getting the pancake popper for a while…so fun to think of the different combinations!!
I know, its fun to find new kitchen gadgets ; )
Those pancake poppers look amazing! They look like cake-y donut holes (and in taste) – but healthy!! Bonus: I love heated strawberries, especially with oats!
they are amazing! I want to eat them every morning now!!
I’ve always liked catchers in baseball and had a crush on Joe Girardi when he played for the Yankees. Now he’s their coach, and he’s looking old and rough!
I actually do not know who that is! I will have to check him out, of course pics of him when he was younger ! ha!
Yum these look awesome! Have fun at the game
Thanks girl! xo
I guess it’s true what they say: once you pop, the fun won’t stop
Another winning recipe that really really makes me want to buy one of those pans!
Thanks girl, haha! Love you!
Hope your week is good! xoxo
Those look so tasty! Might have to try some in my mini muffin pan
! I grew up being a hockey sister and daughter, so needless to say I HATED hockey for awhile. Now, I really like going to games with friends! Well, maybe cause I can get
a hot chocolate and kahlua
I like your style, hot chocolate and kahula : )
You should try some in the mini muffin pan! Let me know!
I really want a pancake popper now!!! I love things that you can just pop in yur mouth like jellybeans!
I know! Love it too! Im glad I bought it!
Ahh the Penguins! Their feeding team is in my hometown Wilkes-Barre, PA. I’ve been to many games there. My friend married Colby Armstrong but he moved to the Georgia hockey team, so they moved away.
Oh that is to cool! Love the pens!
Love the poppers!
I think hockey is so fun to watch–especially for the fights! 
I feel like sports crushes are pretty normal. lol. I have always thought that Mark Sanchez (the NY Jets qb) was a hottie.
okay, WOW… obviously I am catching up in my reader – THESE LOOK AWESOME! I want them. I have a doughnut pan. These will be mine!
Oh yes! A donut pan would work! I was thinking about that the other day ; )
