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 ...

What IEat#9

Dinner- I love making breakfast for dinner when I don't feel like cooking or have to make dinner fast. Scrambled eggs with spinach, kidney bean, bacon, and GF toast with cashew butter, honey and cinnamon. Dinner- steamed broccoli, Alexia's sweet potato fries (love that Costco has a big bag of them right now!), and beef burger patty with avocado and bacon. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner- This is what I ate during my last NAET treatment 25 hour avoidance phase. There is a different list of "safe foods" with every treatment, depending on what you're avoiding, and they recommend that you limit yourself to just two or three foods, as the more variety you consume, the more energy it takes for your body to digest and ideally you just want to let your body's energy be as unhindered as possible so you can achieve optimal results. So this time I ate sweet potato, beef roast, and white rice. Yes, I felt a little guilty for the high amount of starch, but its only ...

Fear Is A Liar

 Things have been a bit rough lately for me. You would think that at some point you would somehow get used to the rollercoaster ride of chronic illness, but it really doesn't get easier. Maybe you understand some things more, or learn to cope with symptoms, or give up on things ever going back to how they used to be, but the little comfort there is in the familiarity of "we've been here before" isn't enough to get you through it all.  I realized that maybe one reason it doesn't get easier to go through the ups and downs is because I have not lost hope. I have not stopped living the good days to their full potential. Maybe that makes the bad days hurt a little more, but if you can't embrace the good days, I think that's a sign of moving to the next level of despair.  Don't give up. As Spurgeon says, in one of my favorite devotionals, " Be full of hope! Hope forever! For God does not fail you." (July 21 evening -Morning and Evening-Sp...
