My *Dutch Pancakes* Recipe -Gluten free


I made these pancakes for breakfast this morning. I normally just throw ingredients together and just hope for the best 🙄but my sister asked me for my pancake recipe, so I measured today. I've been experimenting with a good Dutch pancake recipe. If you aren't familiar with Dutch pancakes, they are similar to crepes. Thin and soft, sometimes with crispy, brown, lacy edges (due to frying in a good amount of butter), they are very tasty and fun to eat. These are a tiny bit thicker than the pancakes I grew up eating, but definitely not fluffy or thick. I wish I had a good picture of them, but they tend to get eaten as fast as you can make them. I actually just eat them plain or with a bit of butter, but I drizzled a little raw honey on Sophie and Nathaniel's pancakes. I grew up eating them with butter spread on as soon and they came off the griddle and then a sprinkle of sugar that melts into the butter, roll it up and eat it. Syrup or whipped cream and strawberries are good too.
The way you make them is mix the wet ingredients, add the dry ingredients, mix well again. I find this batter works a little better if it can sit for like five minutes before you use it, but it works just fine to use it right away too. I fry the pancakes in my cast iron skillets in butter. You have to watch them as they can get dark quickly, so don't turn the heat too high and if the pan starts smoking remove it from the heat for a minute or two. They don't bubble all over or get fluffy like normal pancakes so check if you can flip them by gently but quickly sliding a spatula underneath the edges; if it seems like the bottom is cooked then flip it. It did take some experimenting to find a good flour combination and wet/dry ratio to make sure these pancakes weren't gummy or unable to cook in the middle quickly, so I would recommend using the flours I used, but you can try a different GF blend too if you want. (I use the Namaste GF blend a lot for baking, but I think its too gummy for these pancakes)
Also, I always loved eating these pancakes along with soft fried eggs, especially if you top them with a drizzle of syrup....the sweet-salty-savory combo is amazing!🥞🍳

This Is Going Well // DNRS review

{This is going W E L L}  Brian gave me this mug for Christmas, and it's my favorite.❤  All the work I've been doing to retrain my brain and heal my body has been going very well, and I am so excited and optimistic about the future!  I mentioned previously that I would be starting the Dynamic Neural Retraining System, (DNRS), which works with neuroplasticity based techniques to heal an impaired limbic system, which is essentially a brain injury that results from trauma and causes your brain to process and store information as if you are in a constant state of "fight or flight", or emergency response.  Trauma is relative to every individual, and there are different types of trauma; obvious things like death, war, victim of a crime, major accidents, and those sort of things are Traumas with a capital 'T'. Things like illness, chronic stress, unstable family life, negative relationships, and many others, are  traumas with a little 't'; on

Transformation // Hair Analysis #2

I haven't posted in over a year.  I have six drafts that I started writing and never posted because I just couldn't decide what to say, with all the current world events and how I was feeling emotionally and mentally, (kind of all over the place), so....it has been quite awhile since I updated on where I'm at in my health journey. When I last posted here, I talked about DNRS and what a difference it was making for me. I am very happy to say that, even with the world being turned upside down, I was still able to keep that new level of health I had reached, and I am now doing better than ever. That's not to say there haven't been a lot of ups and downs, and some really low lows, but I really believe that I healed my root cause issues. 2 years ago, I was working on treating anxiety, SIBO, low stomach acid, HPA axis dysfunction a.k.a. adrenal fatigue (the most severe my doctor had seen on paper), other hormonal issues, and more, all at the same time; it was challenging

Updated Supplement Protocol

This is my current protocol of supplements we are using to support my body in healing my gut, hormones, and overall health. I am posting this partly to document my progress, and also to share what is working for me,  and to maybe give people ideas to ask their doctor about. Do not just start taking any supplement without working with a trained practitioner. There are too many personal and varying factors to navigate the world of supplements and vitamins alone. Do yourself a favor and get professional, knowledgeable help to give you the best chance at complete recovery and fastest results. I saw my Naturopath last week, and we went over my symptoms and adjusted my supplements and added in a couple new things. This protein shake is one of the new additions to my treatment plan. OptiCleanse GHI is a protein powder supplement that we are using to support healing my gut, specifically leaky gut, and also support liver detox. It tastes quite good actually, which I was ver
