Fluffy dairy free pancakes

Fluffy dairy free pancakes

Sadly, I’ve been dairy free due to my nursling who has a dairy issue. This has called for a good bitfluffy dairy free pancakes of creativeness because dairy is such a big part of my family’s diet. I learned early on that water makes a sufficient substitute for fluffy dairy free pancakes; or almond milk, cashew milk or coconut milk if you want to get fancy. I’m pretty particular about processing and ingredients so I take great strides to make my own or find minimally processed ingredients so sometimes water just has to work. I have also  found that eggs can make up taste when water is used. These pancakes are pretty fluffy on their own but I used large biscuit cutters to make them thick. You could use egg rings as well. If you choose to use to do this, be sure to oil the inside of the rings really well. These are by far a favorite pancake recipe. 
bacon pancakesIgnore my slightly burnt pastured, home cured bacon. I also use this same recipe to make bacon pancakes which is another family favorite. After you put your scoop of batter in the pan, add a slice of cooked bacon. The saltier the better. Then be sure to pour a generous service of real maple syrup before serving. It’s a wonderful blend of salty and sweet. I always double this recipe and do half with bacon. We are having the bacon pancakes for breakfast tomorrow!

Ingredients
  1. 3/4 cup water (or almond, cashew, or coconut milk)
  2. 1 cup flour ( I used 1/2 fresh ground spelt flour, and 1/2 cup King Arthur unbleached flour)
  3. 2 tbsp evaporated cane sugar
  4. 1 tsp baking powder
  5. 1/2 tsp baking soda
  6. 1/2 tsp salt
  7. 2 pastured eggs
  8. 2 tbsp coconut oil (plus additional for cooking)
Instructions
  1. Combine all dry ingredients into a mixing bowl.
  2. Whisk egg and add in coconut oil and water.
  3. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone.
  4. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat, add coconut oil, and pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.
  5. Optional: For thicker pancakes, use large biscuit cutter or egg rings. Oil the inside of the ring well and fill 2/3 up for thicker pancakes. Lower heat though and allow these to cook slower.

My brother teaches me something

I decided to write my brother a letter last week. While I sat down to write the letter, it dawned on me that there were some words he needed to hear. Chris reminded me that I might be the only person in the world that understands him because of experiencing the same childhood. First, I told him I was proud of him for working hard to stay out of trouble and keep a job. These are words that we both long to hear from our parents. Our desire to hear these words from them pushed us to act in two very different ways. Second, I told him that I admired him. That might sound strange intiailly but the last time that I saw him was at dinner at my parent's house. Before he left, he leaned down to give a hug to my father who was laying in the recliner. Dad didn't reciprocate, but I can't imagine how much courage and forgiveness had gone through Thomas's heart to be able to do that. I'm shamed to admit that I can only remember hugging my dad 2 times in my adult life. ...

Spring

It's hard to believe we've been in TN for almost 10 months. We've just about made it through all the season. I have to admit that it was quite beautiful to experience the fall leaves for more than a day that we might have seen in Charleston. The winter was a rough initiation but I made it. I'm pretty sure I made every attempt not to leave the house, but the snow pretty much helped with that. It seems that the seasons have changed once again overnight. Literally, in one day, the leaves on the tree next to our house have gone from barren to full of green. Bushes and trees are flowering everywhere. There's something so refreshing about spring. While all the seasons are beautiful, spring represents new life. What a perfect time for Lana to arrive!

Nourishing Cabbage Roll Soup

If you don’t like cabbage, I encourage you to try this recipe before you write it off.  This is my current favorite go to recipe right now and it’s a hit with the whole family. It’s warm, filling and nourishing. It’s much like cabbage rolls but without the work of stuffing and rolling those cabbage leaves but just as good, if not better. This soup reheats well and we enjoy it as leftovers. I also like to add collard greens to this soup but you can leave that out.  Ingredients 1 onion, diced 3 cloves, minced 1 lb grass fed beef 1/2 lb pastured spicy pork sausage 3/4 cup of basamati rice 1 medium cabbage, chopped (core removed) 1 bunch of collard greens (leaves cut from stems and chopped) 1 quart of canned diced tomatoes 2 tbsp tomato paste 4 cups of bone broth (I used pork, but really any will do). 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp thyme 1 tsp Celtic sea salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 1 tbsp Worchestershire sauce Instructions In a large pot, saute onion, garlic ...
