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!🥞🍳

My Fish Cakes Recipe -(Paleo)-

I am trying to incorporate more fish into my diet, and these delicious fish cakes are a new family favorite! They can be made with tuna or salmon, salmon having slightly more to offer nutritionally; high Omega 3 fats, vitamin D, and selenium. (and more!) Fish is so good for your brain and heart, and can improve your mood, weight, and overall health. Interestingly, the selenium in fish helps keep our bodies from absorbing the mercury found in fish! God's good design :) This article  explains that in more detail, if you're a "nerd" like me and love learning about food. Anyway, on to the recipe! Ingredients- 3 cans salmon, tuna or sardines 3 TBS mayonnaise 3 TBS coconut flour 3 eggs 3 tsp mustard 1/4 tsp salt pepper 1/4 cup chopped green onions (1) Open canned fish and empty into med/large bowl. The fish I use has no added water, so I pour all the juices in too, no draining! Try to keep the fish somewhat off to side. Add the coconut flour to the j...

Oatmeal cake, a classic recipe my mom would make when I was growing up. I have adapted it to suit my family's diet; it is gluten free, lower sugar, and I use pecans on top instead of cornflakes. It is so comforting and cozy to eat; the spices are warming and fragrant, and the texture is soft and moist. It is one of my favorite treats, and I'm so thankful to be able to enjoy it again with my family! A nice bowl of oatmeal, with molasses, chia seeds, cinnamon, cashew butter, butter, coconut oil, hemp hearts and soaked/sprouted pecans. I wasn't able to eat oatmeal for years, due to the pain and bloating it caused. But I'm thrilled to say that I have eaten it many times now with zero digestive issues. It's crazy and wonderful and my brain is still getting used to the idea of it being safe and normal, but every time I eat it, my brain gets a little more comfortable with it. I'm not scared, but I can hear my brain saying, "wait...I thought this w...

Energy Work//Christian Perspective

Psalm 66:16-20: "Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for my soul. I cried to Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear. But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me!" I've had several conversations lately about some of the treatments I've received, mostly regarding the NAET treatments, so this has been on my mind... I just have a few things I want to clarify.  First and foremost, I want to make it very clear that I believe ALL healing is by God and for His glory. He alone gives life and breath and power. The Bible tells us this and I believe it is a foundational truth. Another foundational truth is that there is only one way for us to be right with God and that is through His Son, Jesus Christ; through His sacrifice and death on the cross and His Resurrectio...
