  • Maple Spiced Buckwheat Pancakes

    Maple Spiced Buckwheat Pancakes

    I love making pancakes on weekends and buckwheat pancakes are my favorite.  Buckwheat has a wonderful nutty flavor and stays moist and tender in pancake form.  And I don’t know what it is, but I just feel good after eating buckwheat.  In this recipe I mix in some oat flour, which provides some natural sweetness […]

    Whole Grain Waffles with Fresh Strawberry Sauce and Toasted Pecans

    Whole grain waffles (gluten free) with fresh strawberry sauce and toasted pecans Yesterday I absolutely delighted my daughter when she asked me what was for dinner.  I wish that was a daily occurrence, but it isn’t always – she is 3, after all.  When I responded with “waffles”, her immediate response was “that’s crazy” (she […]
