When you’re watching your carb intake, suddenly carbs are everywhere! Well, they are anyway in this week’s picks of delicious links: 1. The Daring Bakers took on Bakewell tarts this week, and among all of the resulting mouthwateringness, I happened upon alpineberry’s Macadamia Mango version.

Stack o’ Pancakes

Make it yourself: Fettucine
