P.M. Pancakes
Most weeknights I rely on one-dish meals that are as simple as they are delicious. Sure, sometimes that dish happens to be cereal, but last night I tried Mark Bittman’s Shrimp Tortillitas. They were assembled in mere minutes and the final product was light and packed with flavor.
1/2 cup chickpea/garbanzo bean flour
1/2 cup white flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped onion or scallions
About 1/2 cup raw shrimp, chopped, or scallops or other shellfish or fish
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped chives, parsley, thyme or cilantro
Olive oil
1. In a bowl, combine flours and baking powder with salt and pepper. Add a little more than a cup of water and stir to combine; consistency should resemble pancake batter (if batter is too thick, add more water, a little at a time). Stir in the onions, chopped seafood and herbs.
2. Put a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and film its bottom generously with olive oil. When oil is hot, pour in half the batter until it fills center of pan; spread gently with a spoon to form a large pancake.
3. Cook about 3 minutes, or until pancake is set around edges; flip pancake and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, then flip it again and cook for another 30 seconds or so, until it is crisp on outside but still moist inside. Remove from pan and serve immediately, while remaining batter cooks.

Mmm, I am also a fan of Mark Bittman! His recipes always look so do-able.
May I also plug my friend’s aprons on etsy? Whenever I picture myself making a new recipe, I always want to look the part of a competent cook and these do it for me: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=27733133

Favorite seafood pancakes are from K-town in LA, and since you live there, i suggest trying them out. A good place is Kobawoo house.

the garbanzo bean flour is from Bob’s Red Mill. It’s a natural food/flour mill in Portland OR. I used to work there in college. You can order their products online. Here’s a link to the garbanzo bean flour http://www.bobsredmill.com/product.php?productid=3571&cat=107&page=2. They have about a million types of other flours too.
I love your blog! I just stumbled upon it and I love your outfit choices. Could you do a post about your diet/workout tips? Youre in great shape and it’d be very useful
