Drescription

Our ultra-fluffy banana pancakes are an easy breakfast to kick off the day on the right foot.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ripe medium banana, finely chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. In another bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, oil and vanilla until blended. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Fold in banana and walnuts.
Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle. Cook until bubbles begin to form on top and bottoms are golden brown. Turn; cook until second side is golden brown.

Anti-Inflammatory Cherry-Spinach Smoothie

This healthy smoothie is not only delicious—it also provides anti-inflammatory foods. It starts with a base of creamy gut-friendly kefir and includes cherries, which can lower the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein. Heart-healthy fats in avocado, almond butter and chia seeds deliver additional anti-inflammatory compounds, while spinach offers a mix of antioxidants that sweep up harmful free radicals. Fresh ginger adds zing, plus a compound called gingerol, which preliminary studies suggest may improve inflammatory markers of heart disease if consumed daily.

Beef

Texas Stew

I love to experiment with many different types of recipes. But as a mother of young children, I rely on family-friendly ones more and more. Everyone enjoys this stew.

Desserts

Strawberry Sando

Chef John's strawberry sando, a Japanese-style fruit sandwich, is delicious, fun to make, and very, very pretty. The flavor is simply strawberries in sweet cream, so use the sweetest, ripest strawberries you can find.
