Banana Pancakes

I literally make the best banana pancakes ever.
And today I'm going to share my secrets with you:

For the pancake mix use half whole wheat and half bisquick - I recently started using the Heart Healthy kind because it doesn't have the hydrogenated oil that regular bisquick has in it, but both work equally.
Puree a whole banana with the milk in a blender or food processor.
Don't add oil
Do add the egg (although it still works without)
Chopped nuts are optional but highly recommended.Walnuts are my favorite, but almonds are also great.


I don't have proportions because I don't measure, I just add stuff intuitively, or until I have the right consistency.

I can be strong

I did 13 push-ups today.
It's the most I've ever done in my live, and it's a huge advance from the one half push-up that I was able to do a couple months ago. 
I feel pretty awesome. My original goal was to work up to be able to do 10 push-ups, now I'm bumping it up to 25. 

And by the way, about those pants, I think it's not going to happen, it's not me, it's my new momma hips that I didn't take into account.  But we'll see, I'll keep working on it.
