after a restful friday night, i woke up Saturday ready to take on the Green 6.2 with a few Fit Foodie Finisher friends:
Ijeoma Ikechi
Ijeoma Okoli
Ijeoma Ugoezi
YES, 3 Ijeomas 😉
they did their thing!!! so happy they were able to come out and run for the cause! i enjoyed hanging out and learning more about them, and i look forward to growing our team. i love the way fitness brings people together!!! the Houston humidity was present as always, but there was no rain and the temperature was perfect.
obviously i missed the thumbs-up memo, whoops. there were a ton of vendors at the post-race party held in the City Centre courtyard. we refueled with bagels, bananas, muffins, and water.
there was also a kids 1k as well- look at little Superman!
i cannot WAIT to do that with Chiso!!! it was the cutest thing EVER. the kids were all so happy to just run!

after getting home a little later, i finally got to make my REAL breakfast, even if it was late afternoon! i had fun fetti birthday cake pancakes (minus the fun fetti) and topped them with regular PB2 and fresh sliced strawberries. (recipe derived from GoSuperSisters)
light and fluffy pancakes
the stuff:
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 3 egg whites
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbs nonfat greek yogurt
- 2 packets stevia
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
do this:
mix the dry with the dry, and wet with the wet. slowly add the dry into the wet until combined. batter will be THICK! cook them up on a medium heated griddle until golden brown on both sides.
i put all entries (Facebook fan page, blog post commenters, IG (Instagram) reposts) into my random name picker app and it spit out these guys:

Hi girl,
Yeahhh! For Team FitFoodie 🙂 Looks like y’all had fun. Big ups to the Ijeoma trifecta…hehe
Those coconut pancakes looks great. I have tried so many times to get them right, but something is always off. The batter is thick but the form does not hold and the pancakes crumble, burn and don’t even cook all the way 😥 Have you ever experienced that? I don’t know what I am doing wrong, and I really want get it right. Gracias!

lol @ trifecta! hey Ada! thanks for stopping by again lady. i’ve been venturing out from my oatmeal pancakes and trying different flours and i feel you on the coconut, seriously. it’s not my fave to use! after you mix the wet and dry ingredients together, let your batter sit for 5-10 minutes. coconut flour expands and gets super thick like pudding the longer it sits, so maybe your batter wasn’t as blended as it could have been girl. i really hope that helps- try them again lady and let me know.
