Recipe Name: Paleo Pancakes with fruit puree
Source: http://crystaljnelson.blogspot.com/2009/09/sunday-morning-paleo-breakfast.html
Recipe Type: Breakfast
Chef: Marlena
Chef’s Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Modifications: none

Sometimes I miss having the sweet breakfast breads – like pancakes. I began the hunt for a good pancake recipe that was Paleo approved and came across this one on Crystal’s blog.
I have made these several times and they hit the spot! I like to top them with a strawberry and blueberry puree to sweeten them up a bit. Just remember to keep them small and keep your heat on low-medium so they don’t burn.

“Grace”

30 Clean and Jerks for time. Use 75% of your best 1 rep push press.

After a brief rest use a continuously running clock to do 1 strict pull-up the 1st minute, 2 pull-ups the 2nd minute, and so on until you cannot complete all the pull-ups in the required time. You can’t kip but you can use a band. Shoot for 7-10 minutes.

Happy Holidays! Please enjoy some time with your families and friends. Rest up for the last workouts of 2009! We’ll re-open at 6:00 A.M. on Monday.

Registration is now open for the 2010 CrossFit Games. You must compete in sectionals to qualify for regionals this year. Note that in some places the dates for our sectionals are conflicting. The correct dates are March 20th and 21st. Also, this year each competitor can bring a guest but all other spectators have to pay unless you’re a volunteer.

Details for the Affiliate Cup have not yet been announced but it appears that affiliate teams will have to qualify at regionals.

Please let us know if your register for sectionals.
