Pinterest - Thanks for Making my Life sooooo Nummy

I am not the best cook, I started cooking later in life and have had many hard lessons learned.  I do really enjoy pinning recipes on Pinterest, some work out, some not-so-much.  What makes a recipe a winner in my house, all 4 family members must love it, they finish their meal and request it for supper at a later date.  What I particularly look for is a simple, quick to prepare recipe using common ingredients that I usually have in my fridge, and a healthy recipe is a bonus.  I also like to prepare meals in double batches so I can freeze one for another time, usually when we have hockey and need a quick eat and go meal.  Some of my favorite pins are for my slow cooker, usually a meat, soup or chili.

Here are two recipes I think you should try.  These two picks are inspired by our healthy meal we had last night at Carmen's birthday celebration.  My whole family loves them and I am sure you will too!

1.  Biggest Loser Pancakes - these are a healthier version of a pancake and taste like French toast.

Biggest loser oatmeal pancakes. They say... once you try these, you will never go back.-tastes like French toast!.

2.  Banana Oat Greek Yogurt Muffins - These are made with no flour or oil, so a healthier version of a muffin.  I have made them without chocolate chips and they are pretty good, but I think I like with chocolate chips better.  I also will add some walnuts!
