This morning I woke up determined to get out on my bike.
It’s been way too long since I took good ole’ RED out for a spin. In fact, the last time I rode was with Kelly on our crazy 50 mile adventure!
My bike has been sitting on the patio so lonely. I spent part of yesterday afternoon fixing the tubes and reattaching the chain.
I rode a typical running route..
It felt so good to get outside. The weather is in the mid-low seventies, and it feels amazing!
It was a leisurely bike ride:
- Distance: 10.0 miles
- Time: 42:49
- Average Speed: 14.0 miles/hour
- Average HR: 146 bpm
Before I left, I ate a quick snack:
When I returned, I made a REAL breakfast. I saw Caitlin make pomegranate pancakes, and I have been dying to try them!
We’re all out of eggs, so I decided to give the “flax egg” a try.
For one egg:
- 1 TBL Flax
- 3 TBL Warm Water
Mix!! It was so easy, and I couldn’t even tell a difference in the taste of the pancakes (although I’m used to flax).
I mixed the pomegranates into the batter, poured them onto the skillet…
…and let them do their pancake thing.
I enjoyed four pancakes out on the patio, with maple syrup on top. 
Chomp. The pomegranate arils added a nice crunch!
Off to work on school stuff again today! I’m working hard this weekend, so I can have fun in New Jersey next weekend!
Happy Sunday!

today is such a bike riding day! i need to get a bike-looks like a nice alternative to running!
I’ve never heard of a “flax egg” before but what a fabulous idea! Definitely going to try that soon!
So jealous of that amazing weather (and those pancakes!)
Gosh those pancakes look good!!
I need to try those!! They look delish, for sure.
Enjoy the rest of your day!
We use the flaxseed substitute for almost EVERYTHING! (except when my husband eats actual scrambled eggs) Isn’t it neat how well it works?
That flax thing is a cool idea! Does it work in baking too??
yep, the flax eggs should work for baking!
Nice bike!
