Baking for a Cause!

February 7th, 2010 , Nutritious Foodie

I have been busy baking in the last 24 hours.   As you have read here I am participating in the MS-150 in April and need to raise $400 for the MS society.   I plan on hosting a cookie sale on Wednesday at work asking people to donate $1 per cookie, of course extra donations are always welcomed.    I baked two different kinds; Chocolate Chips and Oatmeal Raisin, everyone’s favorite.

If you would like to make a Donation to the MS Society, I would appreciate your support.  To make an online donation visit my page.

Today was Pancake Sunday and I really wanted some Carrot cake…. so made Carrot Cake Pancakes

After breakfast I finished baking, cleaned up the kitchen and headed out to the gym.   My hip is still bothering me so I stretched for 15 min, got on the elliptical for 30 min, stairmaster 20 min and some abs to wrap up my workout.

For lunch I made a quick veggie sandwich on Ezekiel bread and some roasted potatoes, I was very hungry so no lunch pics.

We are heading out the door to the neighbors in a few min to watch the Super Bowl.    I have already packed my lunch for tomorrow, my gym bag and put it in the car this way I don’t have to worry about it when we get home later tonight.  

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

This is a new week, Set yourself one goal this week and work on achieving it.

I plan on drinking more water this week, I was very dehydrated on Saturday riding and I think that was part of the reason I couldn’t continue.

                      I’ve never had carrot cake pancakes. Sounds delish!
                      My goal this week is to actually work when I’m at work. I should get on that…

                                        I’ve really been slacking on my water intake as well. I’m going to try and do a better job of listening to, and ameliorating, my thirst!

                                        Hope you have a great Monday! I’d love to meet up when you are in Boston!! :)

                                            I love carrot cake! No doubt I would love it in pancake form too!

                                            My goal this week is also to drink more water. Or maybe not more, but just being conscious that I am drinking enough.

                                                Good luck! I just donated on your donation page – my MIL has MS, and while she is living quite well with it at the moment, it could turn at any moment.

                                                Good luck with the bake sale!!

                                                  Your carrot cake pancakes are speakin’ to me. There are few things in the world I like better than carrot cake (and pancakes too for that matter!).

                                                          That is such a wonderful idea!! I may have to use that when I try to raise money for the napa ride for Livestrong :) Those pancakes look to die for! What kind of lighting do you use? sorry if I’ve asked before and if you don’t want to disclose that’s okay too!
                                                          I’m going to make a donation for you.
