Good Morning!
Happy Friday and hello weekend! I am pretty happy that the weekend is here, it is much needed for Mike and I! I am also excited we will be child free tomorrow, first time in a while! Anthony will enjoy the time away as well, so it will be nice.
Breakfast
Peanut Flour Pancake with Strawberries and Granola
I was going to make little pancakes, but then decided to just make one BIG one!
Ingredients- 1/4 cup peanut flour, 2 packs stevia, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 4 tbsp egg whites, 3 tbsp almond milk, strawberries
Blend all ingredients together in a blender and pour on a skillet! It was actually not too hard to flip 
I mixed peanut butter and some sugar free maple syrup together to make the syrup topping. Warmed the combo up in the microwave for about 20 seconds, mix, and pour on top!
Loved this breakfast!
Diva Five Friday
Always fun to do a 5 Friday , so here are 5 things I have to share for today!
#1 I was sent these Kraft MilkBite Milk and Granola Bars to try, I get lots of emails for product reviews but only pick ones I really think my family and I would love. I wish I had time to say yes to all, but I do not want my blog to be all reviews!
These are awesome because they provide the same amount of calcium as a 8oz glass of milk, so they are bars that are refrigerated. Mike and I tried one, of course we went for the chocolate box first 
We both agreed they were good! I think these would make a perfect after school snack for a kid too! 5 grams of protein as well, which is not too bad at all! The strawberry ones will be the next up! You can find these in the refrigerated section of the grocery store!

#2 I love this quote, so cute and so true! We all battle with insecurities, so when we do just read this, haha!
#3 Last Valentine’s Day was hello kitty filled, I wonder if this year will be too? Mike and I just buy little things for each other on Valentine’s Day, its always fun to exchange our little goodies we got. We are exchanging gifts tomorrow since that is when we are celebrating Valentine’s Day

#4 Cowgirl in NYC makes this dessert that looks like a baked potato! How awesome yet weird, I think this needs to go on my bucket list! I wish I would of known about this when I was in NYC in December. Want to see more outrageous desserts? Click here!
#5 I love this ON Casein protein powder, the chocolate supreme is the best. I mix this with water and peanut butter for a night time snack a lot. I never really share my night time snacks because I eat them in bed usually and do not whip out my camera for that, but now you know. Casein is a slow digesting protein which is great for night, also found in greek yogurt and cottage cheese!
Happy Friday! I am hoping to be back with a Friday Fashion post this afternoon!

I’ve gone to Cowgirl and eaten that dessert! It’s not nearly as exciting as you’d think–the baked potato is just vanilla ice cream covered in cocoa powder…I think I was expecting something different haha. But it’s a really fun restaurant if you ever get the chance to go!
Damn, and I thought it would be out of this world! Ha! Good to know ; )
We are doing dinner out on Valentine’s day and the day before we are taking a vegan cooking class! (Gotta love Groupon!)
I need to use groupon more! How fun! : )
Hope you have a great weekend! <3
We don’t have V-Day plans yet! Working on finishing our house is always priority number 1. Have a great time!
I am so excited for you guys to get done! How awesome that will be! Happy weekend !<3
Great Friday fives! The quote and Hello Kitty gifts are my favorites
Not sure yet about Valentine’s day – only that I’ll be wearing themed colors haha.
Happy Friday!!!
Themed colors for the weekend rocks ; )
Happy weekend love! <3
We are going out to dinner and then to see The Vow! I’m so excited. That movie looks so good and sappy. I better bring tissues!
YAY! Let me know how it is, I have a girl crush on Rachel, she is SO beautiful! Happy Weekend!
Chocolate protein powder, water, and peanut butter sounds so good.
Its a good night snack! <3
I love that quote, I may share it on my blog in the near future if that’s ok!
Oh yes, you may! I found it on etsy!
Your breakfast this morning looks so good! I love anything peanut flavored.
For V-day we have reservations to eat at the Canyon Ranch Miami Beach. I’ve never been and can’t wait to check it out.
SOunds like it will be a good dinner! Happy V-Day weekend to you and Scott!
So funny that you blogged about the milk bars. I just went shopping yesterday and saw them for the first time near the milk and egg…I was like…hey little guys what are you doing here…

Oh, ice cream potatoes are a big deal in Idaho! (I mean duh.) They are so tasty!

I love the PB and SF maple syrup idea. I just made French toast for breakfast, I wish I would of read your post first…..there is always tomorrow.
Your welcome, and yes there is always tomorrow ; )
i’ve been wanting to order some casien! but i think i’m slightly allergic to dairy so i don’t want to be stirring the pot haha and then waste it! i’ll have to find some super cheap to see if i have a bad reaction to it. happy friday lady love!
Yeah, casein is great! I love it, but it is expensive for the ON one, maybe they can send you samples packs?!
I love that insecurity quote! My favorite thing from the past week was trying sushi for the first time!
I’m in love. I don’t have any plans for Valentine’s Day this year. This is actually the first time that I don’t have a Valentine in 5 years so I am not really too excited about it.
OMG! I never knew you never had it, or did I?! I am so glad you tried it and loved it! SO good!
Its ok, do a Anti-Valenitne’s Day! My girlfriend and I used to do that every year before I met Mike, it was 3 years we did it! We would go out to dinner and then go dancing! We just had fun doing a girls night! One year we even went away to chicago! <3
We’re going out for dinner tomorrow night – I can’t wait!
YAY! Us too! We are so excited, we have not been out to dinner by ourselves since new years eve! Enjoy! <3
Ooo girl, I hope you get some gorgeous pinkness for V-Day!! I love love day
Ok, I love seeing new protein powder cause I drink it in the evening too and it totally rocks out my muscles!! If you love that, you’d LOVE the product I promote….sigh…it tastes like CAKE MIX!!
Happy Friday! <3

Is it a casein one? : )
I hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day with your man! I am sure he will treat you good! xoxo <3
The shake is designed to lose weight…or tone up
I KNOW you don’t need to lose weight, but I know you like being toned, just like I do…so its amazing! I was down 6lbs in 5 days JUST off my thighs and love handles! LOL! now I have defined muscles…finally.
Have you heard of the Body By Vi Shakes??
xxoo
Never heard of them! SOund pretty cool! I am such a sunwarrior addict!
That baked potato dessert looks sooo cool! I love the idea of peanut flour pancake idea – never tried that!
Your nighttime snack is the exact same as mine! Haha tastes so good…. try putting it in the freezer for 10 minutes with a teaspoon of cocoa powder mixed in too. YUM!
Oooooooh thanks for that idea ; )
