If you have been following this blog for a while already, you will know that I LOVE pancakes! We have them quite often on a Saturday morning, or a Sunday brunch/lunch, or even for a quick weeknight supper. I love them topped with maple syrup, berries, whipped cream, or apple sauce (my new favorite). My children share my love. When I start frying pancakes, they come running from all ends of the house and yell “Pancakes!”. My husband, although not a lover of pancakes, is no longer a hater either. He’s tolerant with our enjoyment of the little fried cakes, … Continue reading →

I truly do love all things pumpkin, and the other day when my son asked me if we could have crepes, I decided to try my hand at making them pumpkin crepes. I’m not sure how that happened. All things started out normal, then the next thing I know, I’m reaching for my jar of pumpkin puree! However, they were a huge success and everyone’s crepe cravings has been filled. These would be really great with some whipped cream in them, but we kept things simple and just served them with some maple syrup.    

If you’ve been following here for a while already, you’ll know that I love pancakes. If you’re a friend of Facebook, you’ll know that I do make them quite often, changing them up with different add-ins. My kiddos are huge fans of pancakes too. They will take any kind of pancake already, but squeal when they find out I’m making crepes (flat pancakes, in our house).  As I’ve said before though, my husband just tolerates pancakes. He’s not really a fan of them, he’ll enjoy them, but they are not his favorite. I think he’d rather have scrambled eggs  and … Continue reading →

Good morning! It’s the weekend…time to relax, unwind after getting back into routine this past week, and enjoy some delicious, gluten-free gingerbread pancakes. Mmm…can you smell them? The cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg will make things that much better on a weekend morning. So, what are you waiting for? With a few simple steps, you can be enjoying these for breakfast today.    

Let me start off with the truth. I was skeptical. Very, very skeptical. I had so much doubt, I was planning a back up supper, just in case (yes, we had them for supper, we enjoy “breakfast for supper” days). While making these pancakes, and trying to think up our back-up supper, I thought to myself….if Carol felt confident enough to make these on TV, they have to be nearly foolproof. She was right…the kids gobbled their pancakes down. Did I tell you I had doubt? Well, after the kids inhaled them quicker than I could make them, my doubts … Continue reading →

First off…Happy Anniversary to me! As of yesterday, I have been gluten-free for 1 year! It is amazing how quickly you adjust to the new way of baking, cooking, looking at food, and finding the words “Gluten-Free” on packaging (it never would have caught my eye before). I am feeling much, much better, and my iron levels are the highest they have been in years! Woohoo!! I want to take this little moment to say thank you to all of you that stop by here regularly, irregularly or on a whim. to everyone that has ever left a comment, a … Continue reading →

I love pancakes. I never used to be a big fan of them, but after going gluten-free, I’ve eaten many a pancake. They are especially a highlight when we go camping. I would throw a handful of chocolate chips in the batter before frying them up, and tell the kids that we had chocolate ants in our pancakes. They loved it. Even now, when there are no ants around, they ask if we are having ants in our pancakes. Too cute. I found these pancakes to be a wee bit heavy, but that’s what I expected from buckwheat flour. It … Continue reading →

There really is no better way for a celiac to start the LONG WEEKEND (yes, we’re having a long weekend here in Canada this weekend), than with a nice stack of celiac-friendly pancakes. The only thing that would make that better is if those pancakes are topped with a delicious homemade blueberry sauce. I made these pancakes when we went camping the last time. By mixing all of my dry ingredients together before leaving home, all I had to add was milk, eggs & oil when I was ready to fry them up. I also cooked up this sauce before … Continue reading →
