Orange, Almond and Buckwheat PancakesIngredients
1 cup sliced almonds*, divided
1 whole orange
1 egg
2/3 cup 100% orange juice
1 cup 2% reduced fat milk
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or canola oil
3/4 cup buckwheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Orange-Almond Syrup
1 cup 100% orange juice
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 cup light maple syrup
1/4 cup reserved roasted almonds

Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Spread almonds over a cookie sheet and bake 5 to 7 minutes until nicely browned. Remove and cool at room temperature.
Grate zest of orange, being careful not to grate into white pith. Peel remainder of skin and slice between membranes to separate each orange segment. Set aside for garnish.
Combine egg, orange juice, milk and oil in medium bowl and mix well. In large bowl, combine both flours, baking powder and salt with reserved orange zest. Add liquid to dry ingredients and mix thoroughly, being sure to leave some lumps. Set aside 1/4 cup almonds for syrup, then gently mix remaining 3/4 cup into batter until ingredients are combined, but still lumpy. (Do not over- beat or stir until smooth, as this will make pancakes tough.)
Ladle batter onto hot, non-stick skillet coated with cooking spray and cook until some bubbles begin to appear on top, about 3 minutes. Flip cake over and cook 2 minutes. Serve immediately with Orange-Almond Syrup (recipe follows), and garnish with orange segments.
Orange Almond Syrup Simmer orange juice and cinnamon stick in small saucepot over medium heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes. Add maple syrup. Remove cinnamon stick, stir in reserved roasted almonds and serve warm.

Omelet with Fresh Spinach, Feta and OlivesIngredients
12-16 ounces fresh organic spinach
2 tablespoons bottled Greek dressing or homemade vinaigrette flavored with oregano
1/2 cup coarsely chopped black Greek or Kalamata olives
8-12 large Organic Valley eggs
1-2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 ounces Organic Valley feta cheese, crumbled
Freshly ground pepper

Preparation
Clean spinach, remove stems, and coarsely chop the leaves. Heat Greek dressing in a very large skillet, add chopped spinach, and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until wilted. Raise heat to high and cook until nearly all the liquid as evaporated. Turn off heat and stir in black olives. Keep warm.
Make omelets one at a time in a small, non-stick (8-inch) skillet with sloping sides.
For each omelet, beat two or three eggs in a bowl. Heat a little olive oil over high heat in the skillet. Pour in eggs; they will immediately begin to set on the bottom. With a spatula, pull egg from outer edges of pan towards the center; the uncooked egg will spread and cook. Keep doing this until most of the egg is set – this will only take a moment – then spread any remaining uncooked egg across surface of omelet. Reduce heat to low.
The egg will continue to cook as you distribute some of the crumbled feta, spinach filling and pepper over the surface. Holding a plate close to the pan with one hand and shaking the pan slightly with your other hand, slip omelet onto a plate, rolling it into either a cigar shape or folding it over into a half-moon.
Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200-degree oven while you prepare additional omelets.

Old Fashion Buttermilk Biscuits With Sausage and Black Pepper GravyIngredients
Biscuits
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted and divided
Sausage Gravy
1 pound Paula Deen Breakfast Sausage by Smithfield (either hot or mild)
3/4 cup flour
4 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon Louisiana style hot sauce
1/2 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons butter

Preparation
Preheat oven to 450°F. In large bowl mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cayenne pepper. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or two forks until crumbly. Gradually add buttermilk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Dough should be sticky. Do not overwork dough.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness with floured rolling pin. Cut 12 biscuits with a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter. Place biscuits in cast iron skillet or hoecake pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray, and brush tops with half of melted butter. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until lightly browned. Brush with remaining melted butter before serving.
While biscuits are baking, start gravy. In large saute pan or cast iron skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly. Reduce heat to medium and add flour to sausage; mix thoroughly. Cook until flour browns, about 4 minutes stirring constantly.
Add milk slowly and increase heat to medium-high. Continue to stir. Add hot sauce, pepper and salt. As the gravy comes to a boil, it will thicken. If too thick, add additional milk. After boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and add butter.
To serve, place two of the buttermilk biscuits on each plate and top with sausage gravy and garnish with freshly cracked pepper.
