We’ve done a lot of pancake recipes before; but this one’s my favorite so far. 🙂 These pancakes feel light and fluffy, and don’t flatten out or get hard as they cool. And no, they don’t taste like cheese or eggs — they really do taste like pancakes!

Rolls of cinnamon. Nomnomnomnomnom. They’re even good for breakfast the next day, which can occasionally lead to someone else eating the last ones before you’ve even rolled out of bed in the morning, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take. 🙂

I am so happy to have something lightweight to make for breakfast, you guys — starting the day off with dense protein is just not always the way to go!  Not to mention, these biscuits have a lovely crust and soft interior. biscuits

This bread is good.  It’s always a relief to break past that quiet but obnoxious barrier between “good, all things considering” and “good” outright.  It’s like the best qualities of the banana bread and zucchini bread we used to have, and you don’t really notice it has no sugar, no grains, no dairy. banana bread slices

Finally I have a decent cooked dessert that’s grain- and sugar-free.  It was a bit of a leap of faith for both parts of this recipe, donuts and glaze, but it’s paid off.  The donuts are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, which is all I’m asking for really, and the glaze is fantastic. donuts

So, it turns out we don’t need to be as strict about cutting out dairy as we do about cutting out, say, sugar and grains, which have demonstrably made my sister and me both sick at this point.  You can expect me to go on an oh-wait-I-can-use-dairy-again-really-let’s-get-cracking! spree for a while as a result, and here’s the first finished recipe:  waffles.  🙂 grain-free waffles

The funny part is that I like these pancakes even better than the gluten-free-but-not-paleo pancakes I’ve made in the past.  🙂  They’re easier to flip, thicker, and heartier, and the batter’s quicker and easier to make (as long as you have the ingredients and a food processor on hand).  Even my grandma Cathie liked these for brunch on Thanksgiving morning.  🙂 plantain pancakes and blueberry spread

Sticky Granola BarsHey there, long time no see! We’re cooking a lot, but mostly tried-and-true stuff. That said, here’s my latest adaptation of our granola bar recipe. This one turned out pretty well, so I thought you might enjoy it too.

Cinnamon-Raisin BreadThis weekend Sean declared that it had been too long since he worked with bread dough and he wanted to make cinnamon raisin bread, and so this recipe was born :D. I crafted the recipe, but he did a lot of the work while I was taking care of other things. It turned out remarkably well, and we like it a lot.

I suppose it’s a good day when the worst thing that happens is your camera won’t hook up to your computer anymore, but it does mean nobody but me ever gets to see these lovely blueberry pancakes.  Don’t worry, even if you can’t see them, they’re still delicious.  🙂 Jocelyn posted natural-sugar pancakes a while
