Carrot Cake Pancakes

So the latest issue of Cooking Light did a feature on Denver, and one of our favorite breakfast places, Snooze. Since we're trying to cut back on restaurant eating we thought we'd try out the lighter Cooking Light take on carrot cake pancakes, I also found the recipe online here.

They turned out really good, they weren't sweet, but the batter was really thick and the flavors were really earthy. The only trick was to make sure you spread the batter out pretty well with the spatula, as it cooks the batter gets really thick. We had chicken and apple sausages (just one each) on the side as a special treat (that's my one meal with meat today, so now I'm going to have to get creative for lunch and dinner). I totally forgot to take a picture, but I'm sure you don't need a picture to imagine the rich texture of this dish.

Hello, my name is Ashley...

and I'm a food-aholic. My husband and I are making huge strides to quit eating junk food, eat more low fat and vegetarian meals, and my newest addition to the list is to eat more locally. It's not going to be easy, but along the way I'm going to journal my progress and share any recipes we come across that are worth sharing.
