Yule Oatcakes

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 19:21:06 -0400

I've been making these oatcakes at Yuletide for the last 5 years or so. They've become one of my favorite parts of the Holiday! I originally began making them to leave as gifts for the deer and other animals around our home, and under the trees we decorate in the woods. However nobody can ever keep their mitts off them! (especially right out of the oven) I had no idea they'd be so tasty. So now the baking of the Yule cakes has become an event. We usually pick a night and roll out about 4 batches. These are super easy to make (we usually partake of some wine during this event - that tells you how easy they are lol) They come out crispy and sweet. Perfect for breakfast or just snacking. -- posted by Nikoma

Casein and Gluten Free Almond Pulp Pancakes

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 01:25:47 -0400

I always have baggies with 3/4 of a cup of almond pulp in my freezer, the leftovers of 1/2 cup of almonds used to make 2 cups of almond milk. This recipe nicely uses one of those bags. If you aren't casein intolerant the recipe is great with 1 1/4 cups of buttermilk.If you don't have almond pulp then you can use 1 1/4 cups of almond milk, rice milk or water and use ground almonds instead of the tapioca. I throw a banana or a grated apple in with the liquid ingredients sometimes, for a different taste. I also use two tablespoons of ground chia mixed with 1/2 cup of water instead of two of the eggs now. If you do this the recipe will need another cup of so of water to reach the right consistency. This recipe makes a fairly large batch because I like having them in the freezer, they toast very well for quick or on the go breakfasts. -- posted by SWalker

Sweet Potato and Ginger Pancakes (Can Be Gluten-Free)

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 18:19:36 -0400

It's a sweet potatoe pancake recipe that's mildly sweet, perfect for breakfast. I cook sort of free-form, in other words I throw ingredients together and see how it turns out. Therefore, the ingredient portions are approximate. Hope you enjoy them, I did. -- posted by AnotherSaturday

Delicious Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free Pancakes

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 20:32:03 -0500

Definitely a five star recipe that's base I found on another recipe site http://allrecipes.com where it had many rave reviews. I fixed it to be dairy & corn free. DH and I give this 5 stars. This is excellent served with my Recipe #362340 using the maple syrup option or drop a few blueberries on top of each pancake before flipping. They are already delicious with pure maple alone. These work with variations such as a delicious incorporation of chopped or mashed banana, alcohol free vanilla and a dash of coconut milk to taste almost like banana fritters. Enjoy them whichever way you choose! -- posted by UmmBinat

Toffeed Apples

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 15:50:15 -0500

Adapted from a recipe in 'The Australian Women's Weekly's 50 FAST desserts'. Simple to make - and delicious.Since Australian recipes are considerably less sweet than Australian recipes, American chefs may well want to add more sugar. Judge according to what tastes right for you. In her review, Karen=^..^= says that she used Fuji apples. Excellent choice: they've SO delicious. Granny Smith apples would also work well. I have two other toffeed fruit recipes posted: Recipe #144733, Recipe #153652. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Low Carb Pancakes - No Soy!

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:38:47 -0500

I follow the Primal Blueprint eating plan so grain/starch based carbs are a NO NO! Fats, proteins, fruits and veggies however aren't off limits. These use almond meal or almond flour instead of regular flour so they're "meatier" than regular pancakes. These smell like heaven when cooking! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Top with honey or real maple syrup. Found this recipe on Marksdailyapple.com . Mark notes, "One word of caution on this recipe: I would suggest keeping the size of these almond pancakes on the small side. Larger pancakes have a tough time sticking together." -- posted by ThatSouthernBelle

Potato Latkes (Potato Pancakes)

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:52:50 -0500

Latkas are a tradition for Channukah, but they are great anytime. This recipe makes about 15 latkas, but can easily be doubled or tripled. Easy to make, just allow time to stand at the stove with multiple frying pans. I use every burner that is open to speed it up. Traditionally served with applesauce on the side. Some people also top the pancakes with a little sour cream. -- posted by Karen67

Almost Marthas Pumpkin Pancakes (Milk-Free)

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 02:11:55 -0500

I adapted this recipe from one created by Martha Stewart. Too keep them fluffy, go with the lesser amount of pumpkin (which just offers a hint of pumpkin flavor) and use all-purpose flour. But if you like them more pumpkin-y or prefer a dense pancake, feel free to increase the pumpkin and / or go with a heartier flour blend. -- posted by Dairy-Free Foodie

Vegetarian Sausages

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 22:40:28 -0500

This is great simple recipe I found online. It is great for clearing out your fridge. I saute any misc veggies I have laying around such as mushrooms and spinach and add them to the mix. These can also be put into casings and refrigerated. The colder the rice the easier it will be coat in bread crumbs. I can't say how long because they never lasted longer than a day or so. The patties can be stuffed in pita bread or eaten like a sandwich. -- posted by Irish Fraulein

Orange Oatmeal - 2 Ingredients!

Sun, 01 Feb 2009 13:38:22 -0500

Juices high in vitamin C with your oatmeal elevates your breakfast to a super-food! The nutrients in oatmeal and OJ work synergistically to provide double the benefits. The phenols in oatmeal and the vitamin C in Orange juice both help make LDL more stable. The more stable your LDL, the less likely it is to rupture, stick to artery walls and cause heart attacks. So reduce your cholesterol! With this excellent source of fiber and good source of potassium and Omega-3. Low in sodium. Dairy free making it good for lactose intolerant! -- posted by ~Rita~

Sweet & Speedy Breakfast Oat Bran Muffin (Microwave)

Wed, 04 Feb 2009 23:49:46 -0500

Stir and pop into the microwave for an easy, healthy breakfast! I mix it up, microwave, and eat it straight out of a ceramic mug. The batter sticks a little, but to wash cleanly, pour in hot water and soap and let sit until you do the dishes! I was inspired by *Pixie* 's South Beach Muffin (http://www.recipezaar.com/South-Beach-Muffin-263983) but I didn't have the baking powder, yogurt, or flaxseed, so I improvised. Change up the recipe by adding in raisins, nuts, and other flavorings (almond extract, etc) -- posted by Pink Crockpot

Banana Latte

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 00:27:49 -0500

I often watch the show, "You Are What You Eat" with Gillian McKeith on BBC America. She was explaining this recipe on one of her shows and I decided I had to try it. I don't know if I got the exact measurements right, but I think I'm quite close. This is delicious and fast and easy. I think it makes an excellent quick breakfast if you have no time to eat, or makes a great snack too. ETA: I caught a rerun of the episode on which this particular recipe was featured and realized my error in naming the recpe "Banana Mocha Smoothie". The correct name for this recipe is "Banana Latte". Sorry for any confusion and no wonder, because mocha usually means chocolate is added, but it wasn't a part of the original recipe. The name "Banana Latte" makes more sense. I'm happy to note on one of the reviews that adding chocolate syrup to make this into a banana mocha works so well, though. :) -- posted by blancpage

Veggie Omelet

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 15:59:49 -0500

This is for those of you who want to try a healthier alternative to omlets or scrambled eggs. It uses egg whites, multiple delicious seasonings, and veggie burgers instead. I got this idea because I'm a vegetarian and I'm lactose intolerant so my mom and I were trying different things in the kitchen. It's my favorite way to eat eggs now, I wouldn't try it any other way! -- posted by vegi3wond3r

These ingredients are what I normally have on hand, but feel free to substitute or add other nuts, seeds or dried fruit such as dried cranberries, cherries, shredded coconut, toasted oats, etc. These are packed with protein (and calories), and are great for athletes, or anyone who needs a hit of energy! The bars are soft and chewy, but the more ingredients you add, the firmer the bars will be. -- posted by Procrasti-baker

Mochaccino Biscotti Dunkers

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 01:40:53 -0500

Perhaps my favorite biscotti recipe; crisp chocolatey goodness with a hint of espresso, while being relatively low-fat to boot! Easily lasts for a month in an airtight container, and tastes best as a dessert or a breakfast goodie dipped in coffe. For lactose-free variations, select semi sweet chocolate that is made without milk, such as ghiradelli or valrhona. *TIME INCLUDES REFRIDGERATION* Taken from "Chocolate Chip Cookies" by Dede Wilson (all chocoholics must own this book). -- posted by Oenophilly

Gluten-Free Sourdough Pancakes

Sat, 21 Feb 2009 10:10:24 -0500

Use quinoa, a high-protein and high-iron seed, as the basis for the healthiest sourdough pancake you will ever meet. The secret to the smooth and bright texture is sprouting the quinoa ahead of time, and using a high-powered high-speed blender like my Vitamix. The taste is similar to english muffins or mild injera (Ethiopian flatbread). The texture is amazingly light, almost frothy, but still chewy, holding its shape with no problem. As a general purpose gluten-free batter, this sour quinoa batter is surprisingly versatile and easy to work with. This recipe has been used for sourdough crepes, okonomiyaki (Japanese savory pancakes), and even as the base for savory pies. -- posted by Naomi Most

Big B's Pancakes (Dairy Free, Diabetic Friendly)

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 02:41:21 -0400

My late dad was a fabulous cook. My mouth waters when I think about his concoctions. He owned a pancake parlour and this is his pancake recipe that he used and that I memorized as a young girl. Fortunately it is dairy free so it works well for my dairy allergic son. My dad insisted that this recipe worked better if the batter aired for at least an hour prior to cooking. The batter can last in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I usually use 2 pans simultaneously to halve the cooking time, so the cooking time specified in this recipe is for the whole batch using 2 pans. -- posted by Cheron

Raisin Bread French Toast for One (Dairy Free)

Sat, 02 May 2009 02:19:59 -0400

I love French Toast and so many of the recipes I've seen are for more then one person. So I came up with this one. If you don't like Nutmeg, use Cinnamon instead. I'm sure it will be just as tasty. I used agave instead of maple syrup because its low on the gylcemic index. You could use an unsweetened seed or nut milk instead of soy if you wish. I noticed that this recipe tastes like raisin bread pudding, another one of my favorites. -- posted by Chef Joey Z.

Spanish Omelette (Tortilla De Patatas) (Spain)

Tue, 05 May 2009 12:22:56 -0400

POSTED FOR ZAAR WORLD TOUR 5. Along with paella, the ubiquitous tortilla de patatas - is perhaps one of the best-known Spanish dishes. It is impossible to find a self-respecting tapas bar that does not feature tortilla in its repertoire. As delicious as it is versatile, this Spanish staple lends itself to countless variations according to personal taste. Some cooks mix in mushrooms, beans, spinach, and tomatoes, while others choose to omit the onion and instead cover the tortilla in tomato sauce. Others still would never dream of serving the tortilla without heaping mounds of mayonnaise. Each region, and each tapas bar, will have its own variation of the traditional tortilla. This delicious tapa can be served warm or cold. From http://www.spain-recipes.com. -- posted by UmmBinat

Summer Berry Cornbread Pudding

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 01:57:03 -0400

A nice summery twist on cornbread! I recently travelled across U.S.A. for the first time and became addicted to cornbread. Since coming back, I've been experimenting with different recipes, and this is one of my favourites. It's nice on its own, with custard for dessert or milk for breakfast. It's easily made wheat/gluten free by using spelt or rice flour, or lactose free with soy yogurt. Hope you like it! -- posted by Rainbow*Bubbles

Healthier Basic Crepes

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:00:25 -0400

This is my adaptation of Recipe # 55172. Unsweetened soy milk is best. (I'm lactose intolerant.) Reduce the sugar if you use sweetened soy milk. For vegetable crepes, omit vanilla and reduce or omit sugar. (It does not need salt, but if you must, you can add a pinch of salt.) For what it's worth, I am using an old Wagner cast iron frying pan, that's so worn I can't read the markings, but it measures 8 3/4" wide at the top (inside dimension), and cooking on a Frigidaire glass/ceramic cooktop. I started with the element set at 4 and then reduced it to 3.5 after the first 2 or 3 crepes. -- posted by Lianna Banana

Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast Cookies

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:04:00 -0400

This recipe has only four common ingredients, is easy to double or triple, and makes a good meal for those who are on a diet. Even better, it's vegan! In my opinion the cookies taste best right out of the oven, so don't hesitate to serve immediately. (; The ingredient measurements are estimates, since I make this without measuring anything but the oats. If they aren't sweet enough, add your sweetener of choice. -- posted by Qzxyntop

Leek and Pepper Omelette

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:00:30 -0400

I found this recipe in Janet Wright's book "The top 100 health tips", published by Lifetime Distributers, Castle Hill, Australia. Janet says "Eating the right meal within an hour or two after excercise could make the biggest difference you've noticed yet. That's the time when your body needs - and most effectively uses - food to turn your effort into stronger muscles and increased energy levels. It's also when you burn fat most effectively. Eggs are a concentrated source of muscle-building amino acids and other body-building nutrients. They're also rich in vitamin K, which helps to heal bruises and other minor sports injuries. This vitamin works by ensuring that blood is able to clot normally, so it could also reduce the danger of blood clots in arteries." The original recipe called for groundnut oil, but I think butter would work just fine - or any other oil you have on hand. This would make a nice breakfast for an extremely hungry person, or could be shared among a few people. If you're just making it for yourself, you might want to halve it. I haven't tried this recipe yet. -- posted by TALIA #3

Delicious Tofu Banana Nut Pancakes!

This recipe combines delectable banana walnut pancakes with some tofu for the protein and you can't taste the difference! Get all the health benefits with a delicious flavor! Enjoy and please comment! (You can try apple cinnamon or blueberry almond too if you wish =) ) -- posted by vegi3wond3r

Organic Meal Replacement Shake (With Chia Seeds)

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 03:19:01 -0400

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to find a "healthy" commercial, meal replacement, that doesn't have artificial sweeteners and/or sugar alcohols (like Xylitol, Manitol, Stevia, etc), which give me migraines. I have MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity), and must avoid ALL chemicals, so organic is a must, for me. Each time I find a shake, I think I can use and recommend to friends, I look closer, and find something in it that won't work. Add to that, the fact that they are all very expensive, and I finally decided to make my own. Here is the result of my search. -- posted by Devonviolet

Whole Wheat Pancakes With Blueberry Compote

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 11:00:10 -0400

This is a refresh of a Wholeliving.com recipe. Martha Stewart's gang opts for low-fat buttermilk, but I never have that on hand so I trade in 2% milk or vanilla soymilk -- depending on what's in the fridge.The added wheat germ supplies some potassium and iron (it has more than any other food). I also add a teaspoon of cinnamon (because I love it) and cut the whole wheat flour with some all purpose flour so they don't taste too "nutty." To make the compote, you can use fresh or frozen blueberries -- up the lemon juice for more tartness and up the sugar for more sweetness. -- posted by Kristine at Recipezaar

Apricot-Walnut Oatmeal

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:10:15 -0500

My husband and I eat this every morning M-F. The oatmeal is low sodium, low sugar, high fiber. The apricots are high Vit A (beta carotene), the walnuts are high Vit E. Without honey, it's quite bland. Honey, I feel, is a better choice than sugar because it is antiseptic and is thought to help with allergies, from which my DH does suffer. -- posted by DonitaK

Pineapple Oatmeal Pancakes (Gluten-Free)

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:44:38 -0500

Oh my gosh these are AWESOME! This can of pineapple on the counter was calling to me, and my husband can't eat wheat, so if I make pancakes they're gonna have oats in them. Plus, the Tahitian Pancakes came up on Heroes in the past week or so, so that's on my mind. I combined two different recipes that I found online, one for pineapple pancakes and one for oatmeal pancakes. Neither one is like this new version though. SO AWESOME! One last thing, I used coconut milk instead of cow milk, since my husband is also on this non-dairy kick. This recipe makes A LOT of pancakes, and they're very filling. Store uneaten pancakes in the fridge and have breakfast all week! -- posted by kitchengrrl

Pareve Waffles

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 00:33:30 -0500

I am so addicted to these waffles, I eat them every morning, and then crave them the rest of the day. I will make a batch, then freeze the leftovers. When I am ready to eat them, I just pop them into the toasted straight from the freezer. Just be sure that the first time you make them, not to make them overly brown. Serve with maple syrup, butter/margarine, whipped cream. Whatever you like. I usually just spread on a little bit of strawberry jam. My 2 year old, and 7 month old love them too! -- posted by Lee Hock

This is a wonderfully satisfying treat packed with oats, nuts, and fruits. When they first come out of the oven, they may be fragile and slightly crumbly. Make sure to let them cool before cutting, and they will soon become firm, chewy granola bars. -- posted by sszz

Our Favorite Granola

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 11:47:42 -0500

I started making granola in college, though it was much more plain then. Years intervened when I didn't make granola, then when my daughter started buying a local specialty version I decided to dust out my old recipe and update it. I thought it would take several tries, but my family liked this first one so much, we've stuck with it. I like doing this as a large batch - fills up my jelly roll pan 3 times - keeps well. It is a very adaptable recipe - friends of mine have substituted nut butter for part of the honey, for instance. -- posted by Chef #750419

Fresh Fruit Quinoa "risotto"

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 14:30:13 -0500

Oddly, adapted from Men's Health magazine. Excellent for breakfast or dinner, and a good way to get the family to eat healthily. The juice adds a fair amount of sweetness; if it is still too bland for you, add some brown sugar. I used a "light" apple juice, though you can substitute a regular one. -- posted by Laura Meehan

Gluten Free Dairy Free Corn/ Cornmeal Pancakes

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 09:52:35 -0500

GF flours are so expensive (especially in Panama), so I'm trying to get a good corn based pancake. I've been tinkering with this recipe, and I'm posting it here for safe keeping. It's a work in progress. Here in Panama they have what they call crema de maiz or cream of corn. It is a very fine ground corn flour. Masa harina that you use for tamales might work as well. -- posted by mjerusha

Peach & Pear Muffins

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:16:08 -0500

This recipe was designed in answer to a request from my son for crocodile muffins. The pear skins are the crocodile skin, the peaches are the eyeballs and the butterscotch chips are the teeth. My version is wheat, egg, and (almost) dairy free, but feel free to switch it up and use eggs and milk if you prefer. I haven't found dairy free butterscotch chips, so you could leave them out of the recipe if you needed to. There is no added sugar in this recipe because the fruit and butterscotch are plenty sweet. -- posted by DiabeticMom

Eggs in Purgatorio

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 13:50:07 -0500

I'm grateful to andypandy for telling me about Eggs in Purgatory in answer to a community question about varying poached eggs. I checked out the various recipes and then adapted them to my needs and came up with this. Rather than an Italian style tomato sauce, it is more like a Latin salsa. The garlic and onions can either be done first in the skillet, adding a bit more oil to the skillet after that so as not to let the eggs stick,, or, if rushed then can use garlic powder and dried minced onions in the salsa/sauce. (Salsa just means 'sauce' in Spanish) I get a kick out of watching it cook because the edges of the egg look kind of ragged as the tomato sauce bubbles up and the pattern looks like flames,,, haha and thus the name of the dish. I'm not fussy about the exact amounts of ingrediants and many of you 'tweak' recipes anyway,, so please understand that the amounts are approximations,, and it also depends on how many eggs are being poached. The fry pan should be a size so that the number of eggs fits with just a little bit of space between and around the eggs and the sauce has some depth, so don't use a huge pan for two eggs. -- posted by Rainbow - Chef 536866
