. link love 7/26 .

July 26, 2015 by Amanda @ .running with spoons. 21 Comments

Happy Sunday, friendly faces!

Or maybe happy pancake Sunday? 😀

Chunky Monkey Pancakes

If you haven’t already, make sure you check out yesterday’s recipe for Chunky Monkey Greek Yogurt Pancakes. And then go ahead and make a batch for dinner, because the weekends are a perfect time to enjoy a little #brinner action. Well, that and I’m assuming you’ve already eaten breakfast at this point, unless you’re like me and do a good chunk of your blog reading first thing in the morning. Either way… pancakes 🙂

And in addition to pancakes, Sundays are all about the link love. Lots of good reads this week, so I hope you find something you like, and I’ll talk to you guys soon. Hope you have a good one!

    I’ve been drinking lemon water every morning since I got back from Vegas. Apparently, I need to add some downward dog action into my routine as well. 🙂

    I have a cabbage in my fridge right now. Maybe I should start carving. 🙂

    Around this time every year I start looking forward to fall – especially when I look at pictures like those! But then I know in the fall I’ll miss the warm nights and BBQs and local berries, so I try to remind myself to enjoy it while I can!

    Thanks for sharing, love. And I LOVE the article on clean eating. It’s such an ambiguous term and, although I will never be a “clean eater,” I like how the tips are about what you can do, rather than what you shouldn’t do.

    Yesterday – walked my dog, picked wild raspberries, and went to a pre-birthday dinner.
    Today – it’s my 24th birthday! Going for a run now that the rain has hopefully stopped, spending the day with family, and enjoying a gluten free cupcake from a local bakery with some ice cream with them 🙂

    Thank you for a few reads to get me through the last 25 minutes at work 😉

    Yesterday: ran ten miles, went to work, bought sushi for dinner.
    Today: taking a nap, working some more, walking the dog.

    Not the most exciting of weekends, I admit.
