Savory Chickpea Pancakes with Lemony Dill Sauce

My father-in-law is very dedicated and rescued all of his cherry tomatoes before the frost the other week. Messi (or goofy new pup) decided it was his mission to not only eat all of our tomatoes from our plants, but then wrestle them out of the ground after they didn’t give him any more “treats”.
I’m a little sad that growing season is over here, but am looking forward to watching everything sprout in the spring. We had a tree crush our house a few years ago. We ended up having to take down every tree in our front yard because of it. Going from complete shade to complete sun is a pretty fun adventure. I’ve been working on a native garden and am starting an evergreen garden. I love growing things from little babies. I found a lot of pine tree saplings after the pine tree came down. I have them planted in a pot and they are becoming little trees of their own after 2.5 years. It’s so fun to watch them grow year after year!
If you are looking for a savory dish to make for breakfast this weekend, this is the one! You don’t have to add the tomatoes and asparagus. You can add anything you want. Spinach, kale, broccoli, etc. Just mix it in the batter!
