Autumn Power Salad


This salad is the perfect way to get lots of good for you veggies (and fruits) in a tasty way. It is so simple and delicious that it can brighten up any menu and is festive enough to make holiday meals fun. This is especially delicious when topped with Drew’s Roasted Garlic and Peppercorn Dressing (totally unsolicited advice, I know, but a combination too good not to share). Also, while I purchased all of the salad fixings at Trader Joe’s, you can easily buy whole kale and Brussels sprouts and shave/shred them with a stand mixer attachment or food processor.
Autumn Power Salad 1 cup shaved Brussels sprouts 1 cup shredded kale 1 cup broccoli slaw 1/2 bulb fennel (halved lengthwise and thinly sliced) 4 Tablespoons dried cranberries 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds 1/4 cup pepitas (toasted pumpkin seeds) 1. Toss all ingredients in a bowl and serve immediately. It is really that easy.

Pumpkin Eggnog Pancakes


With the holiday season here, there are so many delicious flavors and breakfast is no exception. These pancakes are so yummy, but have a hint of pumpkin and a dash of eggnog. Plus, these are so easy that you will have a scrumptious breakfast ready in a matter of minutes.
Pumpkin Eggnog Pancakes 1 1/2 cups flour 3 Tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 3/4 cup pumpkin puree 2 Tablespoons maple syrup 1/4 cup mashed ripe banana 1 cup non-dairy eggnog 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 teaspoons vegetable oil 3 Tablespoons water 1. Preheat an electric griddle to 350 degrees. 2. Mix all of the dry ingredients together in one bowl, and all of the liquid ingredients in another. Slowly mix the liquid ingredients into the dry ones until there are no lumps and the batter is smooth (do not over-mix). 3. With a ladle, spoon 1/2 cup of batter and even it out on the griddle. Continue with all of the batter, and cook pancakes until the edges are golden and the pancakes are bubbly. Flip over, and cook until golden. 4. When ready to serve, top with maple syrup. Yum!

Well, nоw tһаt we’re grown-ups, wе саn gеt гіgһt tо tһе “good” parts tһаnkѕ tо а nеw Tumblr called “You Chose Wrong.” It catalogs tһе mоѕt gruesome аnԁ weird deaths wе put оυгѕеӏνеѕ tһгоυgһ аѕ kids wһіӏе reading CYOA-style books.
