. link love 8/23 .

August 23, 2015 by Amanda @ .running with spoons. 26 Comments

Happy Sunday, friendly faces! 😀

First thing’s first — pancakes. If cartoons are Saturday’s thing, then pancakes are most definitely Sunday’s. And guess who just so happened to post a recipe for zucchini Greek yogurt pancakes the other day? Mmm hmm…

Zucchini Pancakes

Breakfast, sorted 😉 And if you’re reading this after breakfast, then pancakes for lunch or dinner is always a good idea. Just saying.

And you know what goes good with breakfast? Some good quality reading material… and I just so happen to have some of that for you as well.

    I <3 pancakes for the weekend. 🙂 A little old stack of pancakes is a great way to start the weekend… Of course they taste good during the week too.

    I haven’t eaten breakfast yet so your pancake pictures are like slow torture for me.

    I love the links for 8 summer produce recipes. It makes me think I have a chance to pick blackberries still.

    Yesterday: went for a run, hit up the farmers market and skyped with one of my favorite people.
    Today: I’m going for another run, hitting up the grocery store and having a kitchen dance party.

    We are about to head to church and I am procrastinating getting ready. I have pizza and going to a blood drive on my schedule for today!
    I loved the 25 books list, because it had a good mix of classics and more modern stuff. I bookmarked it for later advisement.
    The blogging links are super helpful- the technical stuff is way over my head!

    Three things I did yesterday: Lay around on the beach, got a mean sunburn on both legs [who does that??] and make myself understand that not moving for a day is okay [still learning].
    Happy Sunday, Amanda!

      It’s the same for me. I think what I might do is use the reusable basket and my own grinds… A little more hassle, but definitely less waste and probably a little cheaper too.
