Best. Birthday. Cake. Ever.
And it’s gluten free except for the Guinness because I’m a bad ass GF baker. I want to make another one.

Garlic Shrimp with Caramelized Leeks.
Sauté leeks in sunflower & sesame oil until caramelized, add minced garlic & shrimp. Cook until shrimp is opaque. I served this over tofu shirataki noodles & finished it with a dash of tamari, but it would be just as good with rice or quinoa.

Egg free, dairy free pancakes!
Since I’m supposed to rotate my food & I had eggs yesterday, but wanted pancakes I thought I’d give egg free pancakes a try.
So easy!
I did not measure, so every thing is approximate.
Make a slurry with very hot water & ground flax seed. About a 1/4 c. water & 2 TBS ground flax seed. Mix and let sit for 2 min.
Add 1/4 - 1/2 c. Coconut milk and then add oat flour (or flour of your choice) until a little runnier than a normal consistency for pancake batter, it will continue to thicken.
Add a tsp of baking powder & pinch of salt.
That’s it!

This Saturday’s Pancakes
The rest of my almond flour, guesstimate: less than 1/4 
My last egg
2 Tbs. ground flax seed
Some water
Some Buckwheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
A tiny splash of almond extract
A few sprinkles of cinnamon

Served slathered in peanut butter and maple syrup. Enjoyed on my deck with a view of the Olympic mountains on the sunniest day of the year so far in Seattle. Life is good.

Garlic Shrimp & Mango with Shirataki noodles.
Whole Goods had Champagne Mangos on sale. I could have eaten the mango for dessert but I was feeling adventurous.
I sautéed the shrimp with garlic & then I tossed in the noodles with some Tamari & toasted sesame oil. Cooked for another minute or two just to warm up the noodles. I dished it out & then mixed in the mango. I would’ve added a teensy bit green onion if I had some, but it’s just fine this way.
