1/4 cup Torani Sugar Free Caramel Syrup
Optional Toppings
1/3 cup Cooked Sausage Crumbles

Mix pancake mix, milk, syrup together till thoroughly combined. Pour batter into a 12 cup mini muffin tin that has been sprayed with Pam. Fill about 3/4 way up. Top each muffin with optional toppings.
Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes or until golden. Serve with SF Maple syrup for dipping.
Lunch: A Mozzarella Cheesestick and this yummy Coconut Cream Protein Shake...

2 Tablespoons Light Coconut Milk
2-3 cubes of Ice
Whiz in blender till smooth. Top with a squirt Sugar Free Land o Lakes Whipped Cream and sprinkle of Unsweetened Coconut, optional.
This was delicious... only needed a little rum ;), warm sunshine, a sandy beach, a HOT cabana boy to make it perfect.
Coconut not your thing? Here's some other favorite protein shake recipes.Dinner: I christened my last year's Christmas gift to myself, my Kiwi Green Le Creuset Round French Oven with a big pot of soup. Praying I don't drop this sucker on my toe ever, holy moly its heavy. This soup seriously tastes like a Bacon Cheeseburger. Try it, it's soooo good.

We had apple pancake bites yesterday morning. I used caramel torani and sauted the diced apples in that with some cinnamon. Topped off your wonderful pancake bites. They were a huge hit!
Looks like it was just an apple pancake bite kind of day :)
Thanks again for sharing your amazing recipes!
The soup sounds delicious! I might leave the lettuce out though...do you think that will be a problem?
Lavendergrrrl, Yay! So glad they were enjoyed. Yep that was my yesterday perfect pancake bite day... chilly.
Michelle, Add it I know it sounds strange... it's fabulous.
today's food does sound very very tasty, I will have to give that soup a try. thanks for the recipe :)
Love you soup pot..I have it in yellow and a couple of others in red/orange color. They are great..and might be making this soup this weekend! Can you just add part of a bag of shredded lettuce you get at the store or does it need to be bigger pieces?
Also will be making the pancake bits for the weekend too...my kids will love them!
Thanks!
Ann :-)
Ann, Hope you & the fam enjoy them.
Yep bag of lettuce shreds would work... I just did a 1/4 of a head it was on sale for 88 cents way cheaper than the bagged stuff. It sounds odd but really the combo totally makes it taste like a bacon cheeseburger.
I just had my 3 month check-in and they harped on the NO soups (again) . . . but one guy was admit that they "worked" for him.
I sometimes eat them - like today I am deadly ill.
Curious . . . since you are years out, did you wait and go back to soup?
I love soup. Have had soups from the beginning (on my plan). Did a lot of soup in those first few weeks and then at 8 weeks when *I was cleared for everything as tolerated* I just went to town recreating favorites minus the white potatoes, pasta, rice, simple white carbs (I don't do those by choice)
My plan follows this pretty closely: http://www.asmbs.org/Newsite07/resources/bgs_final.pdf
Some days, your plan hits every note with me. Made the coconut shake this morning - so luscious! Also made the Sausage Bites, but I added Click to mine for some protein. That coffee flavor puts them over the top for me! Gotta get the ingredients for the Bacon Cheeseburger Soup, but it's on the menu for this weekend. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Trying the Bacon Cheeseburger soup tonight! It smells so good. I have it in the crockpot and used turkey instead of the sirloin. I wasn't going to put in the lettuce but I'm might just give it a try!
I made the Elvis shake this morning too and it was super yummy!
Thank you for all your wonderful recipes, Michelle.
