Berry healthy pancakes

These berry healthy (aren't I punny??) pancakes are direct from my Instagram feed to your plate. Easy to make, filling, and no pricey or hard to find ingredients... the perfect productive thing for your lazy weekend morning. Plus, they're pretty.

What you'll need: 

the basics

1 Banana

2 Eggs

Frozen/fresh berries

~1/2 cup flaxseed

Rolled Oats 

the extras

1 TBS Maca powder

Collagen powder

Chia Seeds

the sprinkles

Yogurt

Apples

Granola

Nuts

Coconut Chips

How to:

1. Add all of the basic & extra ingredients to a blender (or in a bowl with a strong armed whisk)
2. Blend until smooth & creamy (thick like a milkshake, add more flaxseed or oats to thicken)
3. Add ~1 TBS coconut oil to a large plan and add a big ol' dollop of batter
4. Heat is key- medium high, better to slow cook than to burn and cook unevenly!
5. Remove the cakes, top with your sprinkles
6. Take a pic, you know you want to. 

With love and sleeping in,

Zucchini bread, health level: medium

Well hello, happy Sunday! How are you? It's been a while, and I've missed you. That's me talking to this zucchini bread, because it was just that good. Aren't I funny?? But seriously this bread was just the right sweetness, dense but still fluffy, and just enough health factor to justify eating an undisclosed amount while watching Riverdale alone.
I made some amendments to this recipe to fit with what I already had in my pantry, solidifying my belief that applesauce and bananas solve most life problems. Eat up!!

What you will need for my version:

• 2.5 cups old fashioned oats (and a blender/food processor)
• 2-3 large bananas 1 cup mashed (very easy if you throw in the blender post oats)
• 2 large eggs lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup apple sauce (or your choice of sweetener)
• 2.5 cups shredded zucchini peeled or unpeeled
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips (this is a non-negotiable)

Other fun ideas:

• Swap 1/2 cup oat flour for flaxseed because why not
• Toasted walnuts in addition to chocolate chips
• Add shredded carrot/apple for added texture & color

With love and sticky fingers,

From head to toe: Day-to-night, leather & lipstick

I'm not going to lie to you- my 'night' plans after this shoot included walking to Prince St Pizza with Olivia and bundling up for dear life. No matter how cold & windy, I will take any excuse I can to throw on some lipstick, attempt a slick-back pony tail (@Gigi Hadid) and wear booties that make me approximately 6 feet tall. It is true what they say, the air is better up here.

From head to toe: black, white & red all over

"What is black, white & read all over?" A newspaper! On today's headline- me. On my continual quest to be a Hadid sister, this look was a major milestone. I saw Bella wearing this a while back and when I saw these jeans in the Anthro sale section I knew my time had come. Even the Whitney Museum is on board with the monochromatic trend. 

My city just gets me.
