Beet and Kefir Pancakes

February 14, 2016

Pink Pancakes? Yup, these fruity, beet pancakes are spiked with kefir, which makes for a remarkably full bodied, fluffy and fruity cake. It's not a bad way to start your Valentine's Day morning. Detox + probiotics + deliciousness. I recommend topping them with some fruit and dark maple syrup.

Ingredients

AP Flour - 1 cup
Baking Powder - 3/4 tsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Egg - 1 egg
Raspberry Kefir - 1 cup
Vanilla Extract - 1/2 tsp
Raw Red Beet - 1/2 each
Coconut Oil - 1 tbsp + Some for cooking

Method

Blend all ingredients until silky smooth! Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat, add coconut oil and pour batter into the pan, making pancakes as big as you want!

Back to Basics pt2: Garlic - 3 fast ways to ‘mince’ allowing the flavor to shine. We all love and adore garlic, but did you know that depending on how much we chop it the flavor changes? The more we manipulate it the more Allicin is produced, which is the garlics ‘defense’ mechanism - allicin also happens to have great health benefits. Here are my top three ways Personally I love mashed up minced ‘paste’ because I enjoy a strong garlic taste - it also works well for dressings and prevents chunks that over power a bite.

Back To Basics pt 1: How to Cut and Onion Learning how to navigate one of the most common (and delicious) staples in the kitchen will level up your cooking game. Take a look at the video for a full tutorial. But navigating the kitchen starts with the right equipment. A big thanks to @victorinoxnorthamerica and @epicurean_usa for sending me a beautiful knife and cutting board that inspired this series. I’m using the @Victorinoxnorthamerica Swiss Modern Wood Santoku, which is a fantastic all-purpose professional knife for the at home chef. This Swiss made knife holds its edge while being easy to resharpen with its proprietary steel recipe - enabling multifunctional mastery. The fluted edge helps glide the blade through nearly anything with ease. The wooden handle is ergonomic, comfortable and not to mention beautiful. I enjoy the @epicurean_usa Gourmet Series board, has plenty of space to work and on the other side has a ‘juice groove’ which helps keep your work station clean by capturing any liquids. Unlike wooden cutting boards this does not require maintenance and is dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean. It is sustainable, made with FSC (Forest Steward Council) Certified materials and NSF certified meaning it is deemed clean and safe by some of the world’s most rigorous standards. #MyVictorinox

A few of our winter bites from @checkerhall - have you dined yet?

I wear the same pair of shoes for what is probably too long. Having versatility and comfort is key for me. Thanks @rothys for the fly new kicks 😁 (and yes - I wrote a jingle) #rothyspartner

waiter: how much wagyu steak would you like? me: yes This may be the best way to enjoy Wagyu. The seasoned sushi rice balanced the richness and soaks up the fat, Yuzu kosho for some spice, mushroom sou for a salty punch and young ginger and scallion for texture and freshness.

Schnitz’ & Schvitz 💦 Crowd fave @checkerhall - chicken schnitzel brushed with spiced honey served with with trio of sauces, bib lettuce herb salad (best if used as wraps) and slaw.

On the beach with our new 🍄 gummies in hand! Excited to be sharing our new @plantpeople creations with the world. Blending functional mushrooms, herbs and nutraceuticals for effective and very delicious solutions! Thank you @supermush for bringing such an awesome group of people and brands together.
