Fluffy Coconut Flour Pancakes

 This recipe is straight from the Nourishing Days website.  I have been dying to try them and they are amazing. 

Fluffy Coconut Flour Pancakes

Recipe Notes: Both cow and coconut milk work well in this recipe. You can also add cinnamon or fruit as desired. Just keep the pancakes small and watch them so they don’t burn.
Ingredients
  • 4 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup milk (raw cow’s or coconut both work)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • coconut oil or butter for frying
Directions
  1. Preheat griddle over medium-low heat. In a small bowl beat eggs until frothy, about two minutes. Mix in milk, vanilla, and honey or stevia.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl combine coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt and whisk together. Stir wet mixture into dry until coconut flour is incorporated.
  3. Grease pan with butter or coconut oil. Ladle a few tablespoons of batter into pan for each pancake. Spread out slightly with the back of a spoon. The pancakes should be 2-3 inches in diameter and fairly thick. Cook for a few minutes on each side, until the tops dry out slightly and the bottoms start to brown. Flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
  4. Serve hot with butter, coconut oil, honey, syrup, or fruit.

Meatballs In Tomato Sauce

Lets do it Tuesday. What time do you pick kids up? I would need a couple of hours first thing in the morning to do history and such. Is it better for the little boys and I to come there? I was thinking about right after lunch. You could even go get your kids and we could work some more if we want to. Do we want to make meatballs in tomato sauce and sauted carrots and salad? I have the tomato sauce. The kids can even make the meatballs. If that sounds good, we need

ground beef 5lbs
1 bunch of celery
couple onions
oregano
frozen fajita mix (4 bags if you like bell peppers and onions, 2 if not)
4 lbs of baby carrots
romaine lettuce.

I will bring the tomato sauce and some stuff for the salad. We will need olive oil and apple cider vinager and some chicken broth. Do you have any frozen broth? I usually have a ton, but not sure I will have any by Tuesday.
