Deb's Recipe a Day: Roasted Fennel, Brussels Sprouts & Green Beans with Orange & Almonds. The Lucky Penny: Braised Paprika Chicken. My legs are sore. So insanely sore. And surprisingly it's not because I started back up with CrossFit this week. It's because of yard work. Damn, yard work. But before we get to the recipe, let's talk about that yard work. Here are the yard before pictures - lots of dirt, holes, dirt, and this ugly half dead bush / tree blocking a window. {First Step - throw out the old screen door.} {Damn Half Dead Tree Bush Thing} {Solar Light Graveyard and Place Where Penny Runs Through the Mud / Dirt} And after 9 bags of this stuff....

LSA Gluten and Grain free pancakes -  Lauryce MooreA Soulful Path. Grain Free Carrot Pancakes and an update on Lent. So how many days into Lent are we now? I don’t even know… I don’t really keep track, to be honest. I think it’ll be 2 weeks this coming Wednesday. Or is it 3? No, it’s 2… I think! All I can say, really, is so far it’s been going extremely great for me. As a matter of fact, I almost feel as though Lent hasn’t even started yet.

The thing that I’ve been doing differently this year, and I think makes all the difference in the world, is that instead of plain cutting out “forbidden” foods from my regular diet, I’ve found ways to work around it. Like this very stack of carrot pancakes, for instance. All I know, is it was stunningly delicious, and so very Lent friendly. Believe it or not, this gorgeous breakfast right here, fits all my Lent requirements. Yet, it was simply decadent. I am telling you, I can honestly say that I don’t miss my grains one bit. One thing that’s very odd, though. I’m pretty sure I dream about it, though. Other than storing it, that is! Pancakes, part I Pancakes, part II Notes. Carrot cake pancakes.

I said as much a few weeks ago when I made coconut muffins. Oh sure, they’re like a glorified macaroon, but! A macaroon full of healthy oils and Greek yogurt and whole wheat flour and a moderate level of sugar. They win at breakfast. Thank goodness I studied them more closely from there because when I did, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find a trace of evil. I should have known they’d be delightful, based on the source, the first cookbook from one of my favorite voices in food blogging, Joy the Baker. Carrot Cake Protein Pancakes.

MIU France Professional Stainless Steel Mandoline Slicer with Built-In Rotating Blades, Serrated Edge: Kitchen & Dining. Shaved Fennel Salad Recipe. I have a couple regrets related to Super Natural Every Day. Nothing too major, but one is related to photography. I'll start by saying it's not always feasible to have a photo with every recipe in a cookbook. This is especially the case if you want other types of photos in your book, like I did.

Here's the problem - recipes with photos get all the love. I think I made this salad a dozen times or more during the time I was working on the book. And an Update!

My friend Malinda has a real knack for making salads. Remember the shaved fennel beauty in Super Natural Every Day?

That was hers. We were at her house for dinner the other night and she made a broccolini salad I parked just to the right of my wine glass. It was one of those relatively simple preparations that reminded me of how good certain things are. We chatted in the kitchen before dinner about dressing for the salad (and broccoli/broccolini in general). So I kept thinking about it. I made a meal of this by introducing a hard boiled egg - on the side. Fill a big pot with water and bring to a boil. Combine the scallions, serrano pepper, olive oil, and a couple pinches of salt in a small saucepan. To assemble the salad, just before serving, place the broccolini and croutons in a large serving bowl. Use the leftover oil (refrigerate) to cook eggs, drizzled over potatoes, drizzled into soup, etc.

Serves 4 - 6. Prep time: 10 min - Cook time: 10 min. The Greenest Salad Recipe. Anytime I travel for an extended period of time, let's say longer than a couple of weeks, I end up craving certain foods from home.

Print Recipe. Oregano Brussels Sprouts Recipe. 2011 was the best kind of chaotic year. There's no other way to say it. I flew to London, Portland, Palm Springs, and West Virginia. I rode rails to Paris, drove to Marfa, and walked my way through the soles of three pairs of shoes. I moved. Now that we've crossed into 2012, I feel like there is a clean stretch of road in front of me. Happy new year all.
