Zucchini Blender Pancakes
So most of you now how much I love our other pancake recipe, but with fall comes the onslaught of zucchini. Sick of baking chocolate zucchini muffins? Want to be a sneaky mom? (“I’m not a regular mom, I’m a cool mom”) Here’s a great recipe I’ve played with and our kids love! The second best thing about it is that by using the blender, pouring pancakes is so much easier. Also, because of the sweetness in the banana and date sugar, there is no need for syrup with these pancakes!

Pranayama
Pranayama is an umbrella term for breathing exercises in Yoga (and other Eastern Traditions) - it is a Sanskrit word that loosely translates to “the stop/control” of the breath. ‘Prana’ means life force energy or vital life force, which we draw from the breath. ‘Yama’ means restraint, or to gain control of.

Breathing exercises, as defined by the National Institutes of Health are an active process involving conscious regulation of breathing (inhaling & exhaling). There are many different types of breathing exercises used to treat conditions such as
