I went with Lakanto maple syrup over organic maple syrup this round
Ingredients (1.5x or double the recipe if needed):
1 medium sweet potato (about 200g), cooked and mashed (~1 cup mashed)
2 large eggs
1 scoop Levels Vanilla Whey Protein
1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: a pinch of salt
Instructions:
Prep the Sweet Potato: If not already cooked, peel and boil or steam the sweet potato until soft (about 15 minutes), then mash it until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Mix the Batter: In a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, eggs, whey protein, Ceylon cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt (if using). Whisk until smooth.
The batter should be thick but pourable. If it's too thick, add 1-2 tbsp of water or unsweetened almond milk
Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown

Ingredients:
-1/4 cup roasted pistachios
-16 ounces whole milk ricotta (Calabro is my favorite brand)
-2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-1/2 teaspoon sea salt
-1 lemon
-2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked, optional
-2 tablespoons raw honey
Directions:
-In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and set aside
-Without washing the food processor, add the ricotta, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Zest the lemon into the food processor. Process until thick and creamy, about 1 minute. Taste. Add more salt to taste. (I have been adding 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon more salt, but do taste and adjust the seasoning to taste)
-Transfer the mixture to the center of a shallow serving platter. Use the back of a spoon to spread it out, creating peaks and valleys for the toppers to fall into
-Drizzle the ricotta with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the honey. (Note: It will feel like a lot of honey)
-Sprinkle with the pistachios — you may not need all of the pistachios initially, but keep them in a serving bowl nearby so you can re-garnish the ricotta as needed

Glyphosate is the active ingredient in one of the most heavily used herbicide in the world: Roundup.

-Siete Mexican Shortbread Cookies
Ingredients:
-Organic chicken wings
-Redmond’s sea salt
-1/2 cup Primal Kitchen Korean Style BBQ Sauce
-2 tablespoons grass-fed butter
-Coconut oil to spread on baking sheet
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 250°F- Spread a small amount of coconut oil on a baking sheet to prevent wings from sticking to the tray
- Place wings on the oiled tray and sprinkle with garlic salt.
You want a nice even spread on the wings. (One side is fine.)
- Bake the wings at 250°F for 45 minutes. This is the first half of the baking process. Why? It helps dry out the wings and melts away extra fat and connective tissue.
Very important! (Note: The wings are not done after this step-do not eat yet!)
- Turn the heat up 425°F and bake for another 45 minutes.
- While the wings are baking, put the BBQ sauce in a small saucepan along with 2 tablespoons of grass-fed butter.
Heat on very low heat to simply warm sauce and melt butter. Stir.
- When the wings are finished, remove from oven and let sit out at room temperature for 5 additional minutes. Again
- important!
- Use a large bowl or pot to transfer the sauce into, and then throw in the wings and coat with sauce.
