The easiest pancakes in the world.....Are you ready?

1 banana mashed up
1 egg

mix the mashed banana and the egg together. Get your pan hot on the stove spread some butter in the pan and fry the pancake on both sides.

snack wraps


My kids have been asking for snack wrap, so it was time to figure out a way to make them gluten free.

Tortillas:

1/2 cup gluten free flour
1/2 cup corn meal
1 cup of water
1 egg

Mix it all together to make a thin batter and transfer to a measuring container.

Heat up a non stick frying pan, after pan is hot turn to medium heat.

Pour batter into hot pan and swirl the batter around the pan. Cook on this side til the edges begin to curve up, then flip for the other side. Remove from pan place on a paper towel and cover with another paper towel. Make sure you mix the batter before you pour your next one into the pan. 

 Fill with what ever you would like and enjoy. 

corn chips

 follow the link below to make the tortillas, after you have made them, cut them into what ever shape and size you want. Deep fry them for a few minutes and sprinkle with salt if you want, then eat. They were so good and so worth the effort.

candy cookies


Now this is a winner of a cookie. Who doesn’t love snickers candy and peanut butter cups? We are going to take the candy and hide it in a cookie, so you chose which candy to use, me I do a double batch using both kinds.
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
mix it all together very well
1 tsp xanthan gum
2 cups brown rice flour
1/2 cup potato flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
combine wet and dry ingredients and mix well
It is easier if you chill the dough for like 20 min
Grab your bag of candy and warm up the oven to 375
theres two ways to do this cookie, use which ever is easier for you
now you can wrap the dough around your candy and then place it onto a greased cookie sheet or you can take a muffin pan and scoop the dough into the muffin pan bake your cookie for 9 min and as soon as it comes out of the oven push the candy in the center. We have done both ways and they are both yummy. Make sure you let the cookie cool before removing it from the cookie sheet or the muffin pan. Again these are gluten free so you want to freeze any that wont be eaten with in 2 days

Almond flour bread

Oh the SCD diet..What I am calling the strict celiac diet. As my daughter diet is no longer just removing gluten but other things that bother here being a celiac. I had to find a new bread so I read the book breaking the viscous cycle and found this..

2 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup of honey
3 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt optional

Bake at 375 degrees. Cover when it turns golden brown and continue baking until a tooth pick comes out clean.

I have a ton of gluten free recipes as well I need to put up on here, but they will contain corn and carbohydrates so if you have issues with this as well as wheat then keep checking for new ones as i go on this journey of yet another new diet with my daughter. In the mean time you can look up the book and the strict carbohydrate diest and get some starter recipes for your self .
