If you flip the word MOM upside down what do you get?

WOW!

Which is exactly what your mom would say if you made her these award winning pancakes for breakfast on Mother’s Day….

Linda’s Chocolate-Almond Protein Pancakes

• 1 whole egg
• 3 egg whites
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
• 1/2 cup quick cook oatmeal
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 to 1/2 tsp almond extract
• dash of Splenda (optional)

Cook as you would a regular pancake–flip when bubbles form on top–DO NOT OVERCOOK, THEY WILL BE DRY IF YOU DO. If you have worked out hard and have been a good girl/boy, add a tablespoon of dark chocolate covered cacoa nibs.

Congratulations Linda for winning the Guitar Hero challenge! You can flip your protein pancakes with your new guitar spatchula because YOU ROCK! And speaking of rockstars…

If my mom lived in the same state I’d whip her up a batch of these pancakes. After all, raising a Fitness & Spice girl could not have been easy. I wonder how many times she had to say…

• Eat your vegetables
• Peas will not kill you
• Rise and shine
• Finish your water
• Sit up straight
• Go take a hike (grin!)

And how many times have I said thank you? Not nearly enough! Thanks, Mom!

Now I really must go clean my room and make sure my Mother’s Day gift arrives on time for once…now that ought to WOW my MOM!
