Apple Protein Pancakes

-
Good Morning... We love Pancakes at this house.  I was flipping through cook books this morning and saw a recipe that intrigued me in Hungry Girl, but wasn't quite right for me.  I adapted it to want I wanted and  had on hand.  This recipe received 3 stars in my house (my oldest isn't a pancake fan at all so no surprise that she wasn't thrilled).  

Apple Protein Pancakes
  • 1 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/3 cup pancake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 1/4 tsp Vanilla
  • 3 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 medium apples chopped finely
 Combine all the ingredients but the apples in the bowl
Add the apples and stir well.  You can add cinnamon as well if you like it
Preheat an electric skillet or a small cast iron or skillet and spray with butter
Make small pancakes on the griddle when it's hot by spreading the batter around, not too big or they will be hard to turn
Flip when set (about 3 minutes) and cook for another 2 minutes or so
Serve up and Enjoy

Finding My Voice.... and my story

Who are you?  For those of you who saw the video of me speaking last weekend, this is going to be a bit of a repeat. Yes, I did it, I actually stood up in front of a crowd and spoke. My good friends will know how rare that is for me, because I have a fear of public speaking :)  A friend of ours, named Kristin has a great foundation to support military wives. To see what she's all about check out her website  Northwest Military Wives Last weekend, they had a foundraiser to raise money for a retreat for military wives. They decided to honor me at the event and she asked me to speak.  Now, when she first invited me to speak I thought, no big deal I can talk about  Jimmy's Walk . I thought his cross-country walk to raise awareness for Veterans Mental Health issues was why she asked me to speak. I thought,sure I can talk about him. I hate speaking, but I love my husband and I do support what he is passionate about.  She said.... no Heather, we want to hear your stor

Nursing School Break...

-
and I am loving it.  Doing decent on my daily bible reading, not perfect but consistent. Deep cleaned the living room today, all those nooks and crannies and dusting no one else bothers to do.  Decorated the outside railing in front of the house, set up an online calender thing. Now for the crazy, insane part.... I have decided to register for the Hospital Hill Half Marathon in Kansas City in June.  Ever since I had my surgery I have wanted to start running and ultimately run a marathon.  Started training for a 5k about a week before nursing school started.  That was a mistake, no time to set a routine before my schedule went crazy.... Decided since I have the next 6 weeks off school (well nursing school anyway) I have time to establish a habit of running... Tied my shoes on today... and while it was a pathetic run for anyone who runs I'm proud of myself anyway.  Went out for about 15 min total with 30/30 intervals as my plan.  I made it for about 10 min at 30/30 intervals

Where we are now.... and where are we going

-
I am going to try and do better about this whole blogging thing. We are currently in Washington state, back at Fort Lewis (or JBLM) as it's called now. We have been here for a little over a year. The oldest is off at college (and some days are better than others for her). The middle kid has started to study for her AP testing and is excited and scared for Junior year next year. Our little baby, isn't so little anymore.... She is scared about next year and starting high school. She has also continue to grow her artistic talents and is turning into quite the painter..... Jim, well he has decided to retire from the Army.... That's right, this Crazy Army Life is approaching retirement. The thought of being out and on our own is a little intimidating.... Where do we go now? Most people go home... but where is home? My family is scattered to the winds... Jim's are all in Missouri. Missouri is where we consider home, but.... it's a limited practice state for me. I have
