Banana & Almond Butter Pancakes

Back in February, Brent from Classic City CrossFit in Athens told me about a recipe for banana & almond butter pancakes from Mark's Daily Apple. The MDA recipe includes two bananas, one egg, and a heaping tablespoon of almond butter. I wanted a lower carb pancake, and here's what I came up with. This makes about six 3-inch pancakes. I love this recipe. And if you end up eating the whole batch in one day, you've only had ONE banana, not TWO. Better yet, if you have a friend or family member or a dog (well that's a family member) to split the batch with, then you've only eaten one-HALF of a banana.

Six Years Later

My last day of coaching at CFRX, 12/18/13.

I did my first CrossFit workout six years ago on August 15, 2007 at age 46. To mark my 6th anniversary, I decided to take a look back through the years at what I have learned along the way.

I’ve had the good fortune of learning from a variety of great coaches through the years, the main ones being: Patrick Gallimore, Shana Alverson, Chuck Carswell, Damon Mosley, Laura DeMarco, Kelly Levens, Michael King, and Emily Bridgers. I’m grateful to each one for what they taught me.
