I heart you guys.
Like, seriously…that little bugger took me 5 minutes to make! 😉
But you wanna know JUST how much I heart you?
I heart you so much that when I made these pancakes and layered them with my eggfruit pudding, that I felt bad for rubbing it in your face that I have eggfruit pudding and you don’t.
Nah.nah.nah.nah.nah.naaaaaaaaaah!
Oh wait, I didn’t just say that.
Really…you should feel the love…
Especially since when I made them a second time, layered them with whipped cottage cheese, but then I realized they were a bit dry.
Obviously I was distracted before by the mouth-watering chocolatey eggfruit pudding. 😉
Oh snap…there I go again. Sorry.
N – E – waaaaaaaaaaay…
Back to hearting you!
During a bout of insomnia the other night…I got in the kitchen determined to perfect these lil’ cakes.
On the FOURTH(!!) batch, I finally got it right AND I made them a little more festive for the upcoming holiday! 😉
If that’s not true hearting then I don’t know what is!
But wait…it get’s better!
Because, since I love your little hearts so much and I want you to grow up big and strong, I hid something in your pancakes this morning, but you’ll never EVER guess what it is…well, unless you saw Friday’s post! 😉

Nutrition facts using this protein powder, this cottage cheese, and this pomegranate juice:
 Pomegranates are good for your HEART, cauliflower is good for your GUT, and well, if you’re like me, the two are practically connected! 😉
So why don’t you whip up a batch of these babies on Thursday and show someone
just how much you HEART them…
Shhh, the veggies will be our little secret! 😉
Do you have any plans for Valentine’s Day this week?
The man-friend and I are planning a trip to Memphis over the weekend! And I’m really hoping we get a chance to eat HERE!
(Only because I saw it on DDD…but really, Guy has NEVER let me down!)
How do you show someone you “heart” them?
I love cooking for people, surprising them with gifts, and I’m a BIG hugger…just in case you get the chance to meet me someday…you know, you’ve been warned! 😉
The texture is tender and chewy…kind of like an oatmeal cookie, but this is definitely NO crumbly cookie!
