Adopt A Blogger!
My experience of Tumblr is that it’s a support system like nothing else. If you’re sad, anyone can come to help you. Everyone from John Green to Jack Douglass to Barack Obama uses Tumblr, it’s an incredible service to be quite honest. So here’s what you do with Adopt A Blogger.
Reblog this by 4/17/13
Keep your ask box open
When you get my message, it will have two urls in it, follow those blogs
From then on, the first one is your friend to go to for support. The second blog will come to you in times of need.
Simple as that! You just made two new friends! Feel free to send them love, become best friends and credit me when you inevitably marry, etc.
You will be ‘adopted’ as well, based on blogs with similar interests as you, so a SPN blog won’t be paired up with a mega hipster, etc.
RULES:
Only one reblog is necessary.No likes pleaseBe kind to your blogger, and in turn, them to you!

Valerie’s Awesomely Fluffy Pancakes
Sometimes, my usual chicken and brown rice doesn’t sound too appealing for dinner. Tonight, after an intense arm workout, I was craving pancakes. I told myself I would listen to my body, and eat some ! I usually make them using whey protein powder, but they never taste like real buttermilk pancakes. The texture and the taste is completely different. So, I decided to get creative, and find a clean, healthy and protein packed pancake recipe that would taste like regular buttermilk pancakes. Well, I think I just found it ! Pretty much like eating IHOP pancakes. Minus all the sugar and butter :
Ingredients
1/2 cup oats
1 egg
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk 
1/4 cup cottage cheese (makes them all fluffy and moist and you can’t even taste it)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
How to
Blend all the ingredients in a food processor/blender
Heat a small skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.
Top with your favorite topings, and EAT !
Makes 4-5 small pancakes. Each serving has 20 g of protein !
Healthy Toping Ideas

Walden Farm’s or E.D. Smith sugar-free syrup
Pure maple syrup
Honey
Greek yogurt
Fresh fruits
If you try this recipe, take a picture, post it on your blog and tag it healthyvalerie :) I will make a collage of all your pictures and post it on here.
