Sweet potato pancakes!

As the recipe is written :)  Thanks Rebecca Ray, fellow Beachbody Coach

Me modifying a recipe I'd never made before and doubling spinach.  Tasted fine, but you might not always want green food :) 

Too easy, just pour in the pan and there you go! 4 breakfasts ready for the week!

So I've been on a roll trying new recipes in the past month and it's paying off! I honestly thought this "timed nutrition" thing was going to be super hard and I don't love too much structure. Oh you bet I'm a rule followers, you can tell me how much to eat, but to tell me when to eat, and how to group it together, I thought Autumn Calabrese was over stepping her boundaries at first.  But now I'm down 3.5 lbs and multiple inches (lost my tape measure, but I can see and feel a difference, so it's legit) and I feel like I get to eat ALL DAY!  Ha!  This foodie is in heaven and I'm even eating more than any Beachbody program I've done before.  
Rebecca Ray shared this recipe with me and I'm always trying to sneak more greens in, so I took it upon MYSELF to question her .5G count and double the greens so I get my full 1G portion in one meal.  Don't. There's a reason you follow directions :) So here is the recipe as it's written and how it will turn out.  

Ingredients:
-2 roasted sweet potatoes, skinned (skin before you cook, much easier)
-8 eggs
-1/2 tsp baking powder
-1/8 c almond flour (it's impossible to find in Australia so I make my own - just grind almonds!)
-2 greens Spinach (read that 2, not 4, like I did the 1st time)  
-Vanilla & cinnamon to taste

Mix with hand mixer if you want texture, or a blender if you don't care and want it fast and smooth.  Cook on griddle or frying pan (I spray with olive oil).  Makes 4 servings so divide evenly as you're cooking it.  Mine were larger so I had 4 each servings.  Rebecca's were silver dollar size so she had 8-10 per serving.
