Our toddler absolutely loves pancakes (honestly, who doesn’t!?). I always make sweet healthy pancakes for breakfast on Sunday mornings, but yesterday I wanted to make a savory version for Gabriel’s lunch full of veggies. I decided to grate zucchini — one of his favorite vegetables

Sweet potatoes used to be on my I-don’t-like list of foods — those that I’d never ever dream of eating again. I decided to try them again when I started running in May as they’re on every superfood list. I have to admit that I still
