Talluluh Cooks Skinny Pancakes

Hi, friends! I know you've been waiting with bated breath for my next blog post.  Here it is!  I've been missing from the blog scene for awhile.  Things have been crazy and hectic and it just hasn't left much time for blogging.  Rest assured that I have been keeping a list of things to blog about, so I'll try to catch up in the next couple of weeks.  First on my list is a recipe I've been dying to share with you.  If you've read some of my previous posts, you know I've been trying to live a "clean" lifestyle.  This basically means eating a balanced diet with no processed foods.  You can read about eating clean here.  I'm not perfect at it, but I am getting there.  And I've found that I'm beginning to "crave" foods that are good for me instead of cupcakes and cheeseburgers.  Go figure.  The recipe I'm sharing today is relatively clean.  The pancakes are WAY healthier than regular pancakes.  I don't eat these every day, because they are higher in calories than my normal egg white and spinach scramble, but I do usually make them on the weekend for a treat.  They are delicious and I hope you will try them!
