Gingerbread Pancakes with Apple-Berry Topping
Adapted from the American Heart Association Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol cookbook, these gingerbread pancakes are so delicious that you will find yourself craving them the night before. I've actually gotten up in the middle of the night to cook them (I'm not suggesting anyone else do something so silly, though!!) because I couldn't wait for breakfast. Enjoy them with a side of turkey bacon!This Year's Thanksgiving Dinner
I hope everyone had a nice holiday. I had the honor of cooking dinner for a small group of four people. The meal was vegetarian (actually vegan, except for one dessert), mostly organic, with no added sugar and nothing refined.

2 Ingredient Recipes
My mother is a reader of Woman's Day Magazine (whose recipes I usually love) and she passed on these 2 ingredient recipe cards to me. Sure, some of them are a little odd and I will probably never, ever attempt, but there were a few that immediately grabbed my attention and I can't wait to try out! (Pineapple with coconut sorbet...:DROOL:)
If you want the actually cards to print out and some additional ideas: http://www.womansday.com/food/6577/2-ingredient-recipe-cards.html, http://www.womansday.com/food/6373/none.html
