Egg-free Pancakes

Some recipes from the past:

Our kids like pancakes for breakfast, especially on weekends when we have a big meal before setting out on our day’s worth of adventures or chores.  That was before two members of the family were diagnosed with sensitivities to eggs, which has required some new approaches to many foods (and breakfast especially).  Simple substitutions to the original recipe didn’t work.  They came out as more of a “porridge” – not bad by any means, and actually worthy of a little more experimenting as an oatmeal substitute, but certainly not pancakes.  So it was time to try reworking things beyond substitutions to make a new, egg-free variety.

Beef and Bacon Chowder

This recipe may be more fitting for a cool fall day, but it was so good that it would be great any time of year!  The kids loved it as well.  I have to admit it came out even more delicious than I expected!

This is such a wonderful comfort food and so delicious and easy to make. It doesn’t get much better than that! I have to admit that I just kind of guesstimated on the amount of ingredients. It’s pretty hard to go wrong.

Maple Bourbon Turkey

This recipe was one I put together for our Christmas get-together with my parents and some family friends around the holidays.  Unfortunately, it’s taken me longer than I planned to get it written up for the site…you’ll have to forgive me for that.  Nevertheless, the turkey was a hit (along with everything else that night), and I think you’ll enjoy it as well.

Kombucha

Recipes posted a year ago:

Kombucha is an ancient beverage made of sweetened tea that has been fermented by a starter of beneficial bacteria and yeast known as a “SCOBY.”  This fermentation consumes the majority of the sugars in the sweetened tea (as well as many other compounds contained in the tea itself) and leaves behind acetic and gluconic acid, a variety of vitamins (most notably B-vitamins), and probiotics that are beneficial for your digestive system.  On top of all that, kombucha has a touch of carbonation for a mild effervescence and a mild sweetness that makes it tasty and refreshing.
