Pumpkin Flaxseed Pancakes + the final day

When life gives you pumpkins, you make flaxseed pumpkin pancakes……

For whatever reason I have been on a serious pumpkin + pancake kick. Ole faithful pumpkin almond pancakes has basically become my go-to lunch (and on occasion dinner) for the past few weeks. Unfortunately I ran out of almond flour and 1. its real expensive. 2. trader joe’s and whole foods didn’t have it and 3. I knew I wouldn’t be able to use up a whole thing of almond flour before heading back home… so I decided to opt for flaxseed flour, a cheaper standby to almond flour. It changes the consistency and flavor, but sure does the trick and makes a tasty, health pancake

Pumpkin Flaxseed Pancakes

Makes 1 serving

ingredients

• 3 tablespoons flaxseed flour
• 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon honey
• a few shakes of cinnamon
• a few shakes of pumpkin pie spice

Mix the ingredients in a bowl and pour onto a heated skillet. I tend to use a ladle to scoop out 3 medium sized pancakes. These pancakes are super thin so be careful that they don’t burn and use caution when flipping.

I’m also boring and only ever enjoy my pancakes with maple syrup on the side.

These bad boys definitely did the trick– provided me a filling lunch and used up the last of my canned pumpkin. I DEFINITELY gotta stock up on that stuff when I get back to new york.

It’s been a less than stellar final day here in Los Angeles complete with my first ever parking ticket. Thanks California, I really needed that.

On the bright side, I did get to spend one last day at Runyon Canyon

this will definitely be the place I miss the most in Los Angeles. Nothing like it in New York.

Packing is driving me insane. Remind me to never move across the country again…..

My final day here is winding down. It’s been a crazy 2 months, and not quite the 2 months I expected, but none the less I got to live out my childhood dreams and be a resident of California.

With that being said, I have never been so excited and ready to go home. I cannot wait to see my family, hug my boyfriend, laugh with my friends from college, high school and work, eat at my favorite restaurant, see a broadway show, walk around Manhattan, and truly revel in the fact that New York is my home, New York is where I’m meant to be at this time. I feel it in my gut. I feel it in every inch of my body. California has a lot of great things to offer, but New York is what I need right now.

All day I’ve been singing Green Day’s Homecoming in my head– there is not a more fitting song for how I feel right now.

and now it’s time to sit back and watch my last Los Angeles sunset.
