These moist pancakes are lightly spiced for the palate of my young child. If you like a bit more pizazz, you can increase the spices or add others. Cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice both work nicely here.

Black beans, sweet potatoes and greens are spiced up and baked in egg roll wrappers to create burritos that are heavy on taste and light on calories. (Feel free to change this recipe with what you've got in the fridge. No sweet potatoes? Try zucchini or butternut squash. Swap kale for spinach, Swiss chard or your favorite green! Instead of black beans, try kidney, pinto or garbanzo beans.)
