Today's Show!

Check out the Seven Pillars of Health.

As a recap:

Make sure that you are drinking a lot of filtered h20!

Preferably in something other than reused plastic bottles.

Stay away from those hydrogenated oils, refined sugars, and food that is far from the source.

Exercise is KEY! You must move your body to avoid becoming sedentary.

Berries are super important as antioxidants! Oatmeal is a great super food as well, as well as nuts.

Sleep is so important; your body needs sleep to restore itself.

Verse of the Week!


2 Corinthians 1:21-22 (New International Version)

21Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

Ricotta Pancakes

Ricotta Pancakes

# Prep Time:10 min
# Cook Time:30 min
# Level:Easy
# Serves:4 servings (16 pancakes)

2 cups water
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup honey
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups pancake and waffle mix (recommended: Krusteaz)
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
2/3 cup frozen blueberries
Melted butter


Stir 1/3 cup of water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Stir in the honey. Set aside and keep the honey syrup warm.

Using a rubber spatula, stir the remaining 1 2/3 cups of water and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the pancake mix and stir just until moistened but still lumpy. Stir in the ricotta into the pancake mixture, then stir gently to incorporate the ricotta but maintain a lumpy batter. Fold in the blueberries.

Heat a griddle over medium heat. Brush with the melted butter. Working in batches, spoon 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with the honey syrup.
