Happy Sunday, friendly faces! 😀
First thing’s first — pancakes. If cartoons are Saturday’s thing, then pancakes are most definitely Sunday’s. And guess who just so happened to post a recipe for zucchini Greek yogurt pancakes the other day? Mmm hmm…
Breakfast, sorted 😉 And if you’re reading this after breakfast, then pancakes for lunch or dinner is always a good idea. Just saying.
And you know what goes good with breakfast? Some good quality reading material… and I just so happen to have some of that for you as well.
For my head…

You lost me after those pancakes.
Emily
I <3 pancakes for the weekend. 🙂 A little old stack of pancakes is a great way to start the weekend… Of course they taste good during the week too.
Jade @ Surrendered Stomach
Sounds like you’ve been having a good weekend Amanda!
I’ve been resting up for a busy week and having a blast (babysitting) my 4-year-old friend… Thanks for the link love–the blogging articles are SO helpful!
Ashley @ A Lady Goes West
I”ve had pancakes for lunch before, and I’m not scared to do it again! Happy Sunday, Amanda! Thanks for sharing these great links. 🙂
Hollie
Thanks for sharing these Amanda. The quick short stories post was incredible. I just forwarded that too a few friends as well.
Sarah C.
Awesome!! I’ll be using the zucchini bread recipe today!!!!!
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets
I haven’t eaten breakfast yet so your pancake pictures are like slow torture for me.
I love the links for 8 summer produce recipes. It makes me think I have a chance to pick blackberries still.
Yesterday: went for a run, hit up the farmers market and skyped with one of my favorite people.
Today: I’m going for another run, hitting up the grocery store and having a kitchen dance party.
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
Well it’s a good thing you have 20 cups of zucchini lying around then 😉 And it was an epic chat. 2 hours went by like *poof*
Sam @ Grapefruit & Granola
Thanks for sharing these links. I always enjoy reading the blogging articles. Have a good weekend!
Heather@hungryforbalance
We had pancakes, going shopping for new shoes, and then doing food prep. Fun times! I love the book list! Happy Sunday!
Kate
We are about to head to church and I am procrastinating getting ready. I have pizza and going to a blood drive on my schedule for today!
I loved the 25 books list, because it had a good mix of classics and more modern stuff. I bookmarked it for later advisement.
The blogging links are super helpful- the technical stuff is way over my head!
Allison Barrett Carter
Thanks so much for sharing my post, friend!!
meredith @ Cookie ChRUNicles
three things yesterday – a morning walk, lots of errands and out for dinner…three things today – morning run, more errands and then sitting by the pool 🙂
Michele @ paleorunningmomma
That pancake picture! 3 things today will be unpacking, blogging, and cleaning. We just got back yesterday and I feel so out of it!
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
I’m the same way whenever I travel! Takes me a few days to get back into the swing of things.
Miss Polkadot
Three things I did yesterday: Lay around on the beach, got a mean sunburn on both legs [who does that??] and make myself understand that not moving for a day is okay [still learning].
Happy Sunday, Amanda!
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
We all deserve lazy days 🙂 They’re actually a lot more beneficial for us than we give them credit for!
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious
I just switched to a Kuerig and love it, but now that article now has me questioning my decision.
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
It’s the same for me. I think what I might do is use the reusable basket and my own grinds… A little more hassle, but definitely less waste and probably a little cheaper too.

Pancakes are a Saturday AND Sunday thing 😉 And obligation….a dier must!

Oh my goodness… I cannot wait to try your zucchini pancakes! And I have everything needed to whip them up. Yay, happy Sunday!
Alyssa@renaissancerunnergirl
That K cup article must get me thinking… But I do love it and it is cheaper than buying coffees out!
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
Definitely got me questioning my K cup habits too. If anything, I think I might switch over to using the reusable basket and using my own grinds.
