Whole Wheat Pancakes

I love wheat. I also love pancakes. This is a great new recipe that I altered to make dairy-free. I've made them many times now. I love them so much that this recipe justified going and buying an electric griddle to increase my pancake making efficiency (these photos were taken prior to that purchase).

Here's the recipe:
Makes about 10 medium-size pancakes (just enough for our young family of four eaters):

In a small dish, combine and let sit for approx. 5 minutes:

2 cups milk (I use almond milk)

1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

In a large bowl, whisk together:

2 eggs

4 Tbsp coconut oil

approx 2 Tbsp raw honey

Add curdled milk mixture and mix.

Add and mix until moistened:

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

Mixture will be thin but slightly lumpy. Oil your heated pan or griddle with coconut oil and cook about 2-5 minutes on each side, until perfectly golden and cooked through.

Optional additions to batter: cinnamon, mashed bananas or other fruit.

White Rolls and Cinnamon Rolls - Bread Machine Dough cycle

I always have assumed that the best white rolls have dairy ingredients, but I tried this recipe for Easter ( I made them into resurrection rolls with a marshmallow in the center) and they turned out delicious. My husband and I both agreed that they would make great cinnamon rolls, so I tried it today and was not disappointed. My favorite part is that the dough is made in the bread machine. That way, the prep time/active time is cut down, which is a winner for my life. Here are my two new recipes for White Rolls and Cinnamon Rolls. White Dinner Rolls (bread machine – dough cycle) Place ingredients into bread machine pan: 1 cup water 2 Tbsp margarine 1 egg 3 ¼ cups unbleached all purpose flour ¼ cup white sugar 1 tsp salt 3 tsp active dry yeast After dough is done (1.5 hours), pour out of the bread pan and onto clean surface. Divide into rolls and place into greased (coconut oil) pan. Brush tops of rolls with coconut oil (optional). Let rise in ...

Scalloped Potatoes with Variations

I have always enjoyed scalloped potatoes, especially when they are loaded with creamy goodness. I found a recipe online and I adjusted it to fit with what I had and to be dairy-free. This recipe turned out great when I first made it in the oven so I tried it another day in the crockpot and I loved that method even more. It is now a family favorite. There are many variations and the ingredient addition options are open to your creativity. I took these photos with my phone, so they are lacking much, but hopefully still give an idea of what this dish looks like. Since the crockpot version is my favorite, that is what I will share the recipe for. Place in a large crockpot: approx. 2 Tbsp olive oil 3 chicken breasts (or 6 thighs) 4 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 white onion, diced In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients for sauce: 1/2 cup flour (or substitute cornstarch for gluten free) 4 tsp chicken bullion (or replace all water with chicken...

Tofu?

I've never had a desire or an opportunity thrown at me to purchase or try tofu. In the recent months, my nutrition side of my brain has been active and I've been making more sound food choices at the grocery store. I would love to say that I've dived right in without any looking back at the processed sugars and "bad-list" foods available, but I do feel good about the steps I've taken and slowly my family will come along with me. I have significantly reduced our intake of meat for two main reasons: to help me stay within my grocery budget and I don't feel like our bodies need to eat meat regularly. Meal planning is much more of a challenge (a fun one) without a meat as the center of each meal. I have been pleased with some of the meals I have created though and my joy is full when I hear my husband say something like, "I'm actually enjoying this!" Although I could do without the "actually" in there. Last week, I cooked with...
