Self Health September | Pumpkin Spice Pancakes Fail

Another five days of eating healthy and working out. This time I've really been hitting up my local community gym. Love how the equipment stands up to other high end gyms, so I can get a quality workout at a low price! When it comes to working out and toning up my body, I really like using weights for faster results. Yes some of you may be afraid to use weights because you're not trying to bulk up like a pro wrestler but neither am I. That's why I feel that it's very important to watch what you eat while doing certain kinds of workouts. I benefit from a lean meat, low sodium, good fats, very low carbohydrates, high in vitamins, vegetables and fruit kind of "diet". Don't get me wrong though, by no means am I a nutritionist or fitness instructor. I'm just showing and telling you the best "diet" and workout plan that has worked out for me in the past.

Eating healthy means trying out new recipes, but some times they don't turn out the way you would have hoped. This happened to me when I was super excited to make pumpkin spice gluten-free pancakes for the very first time and well I failed. The mixture smelled amazing so I thought it was right until I started cooking it. The texture ended up being too thick and it would start to burn a little because I had to cook it longer than normal. Taste test time came and I realized that it still tasted under cooked and wet ,but at the same time really dry and gritty. I tried to eat it, since after all it was my dinner for the night, but I had to throw in the towel before I would make myself sick from it. This really goes to show that sometimes we fail at new recipes but at least we tried something new. I plan on making it again someday, but for now I'll stick to gluten-free frozen waffles.
