Author: Lanie Fioretti

My name is Lanie Fioretti and although I am not a classically trained chef or a degreed nutritionist, I have been studying food and nutrition voraciously since the early seventies. After working in public health and private practice for 22 years, I retired my dental hygiene license. I have taught cooking classes at Whole Foods and Central Market, done product development for a bakery in east Texas, catered, and been a personal chef. I usually think of myself as an improvisational cook!

(Breakfast) Pumpkin Pancakes

Posted on September 10, 2011July 22, 2016 by Lanie Fioretti

This is my favorite pancake recipe, and so worth the effort.  I’m pretty particular about syrup for pancakes.  The best things you can use are pure maple syrup, agave syrup, honey, or piloncillo.  Most people aren’t familiar with piloncillo.  It’s one of my favorite things for syrup; it’s pure cane syrup and very economical.  You…
