Red Apple Cinnamon Pancakes - Jamie Oliver

 I am submitting this to Go Ahead Honey, it's Gluten Free.  The theme this month is Brunch.  I love the topic as those of you who link up at Let's Do Brunch, at My Sweet and Savory might guess.  I could eat brunch three times a day.


This week's host is Maggie from She Let Them Eat Cake.  Check out her blog.  It is fantastic.  Check out the chocolate peanut bars.  Oh my.






 
Yesterday was a busy day.  I ran around for most of it, ending with a food shopping.  I came home and needed a quick fix for hungry hubby and myself.  Pancakes sounded perfect so I made these apple-cinnamon pancakes.

In this recipe, you are supposed to shred the apples but we like chunks in our pancakes and we like them warm and raw.  Nothing like apples in their purest state.  As a result, my pancakes are quite bumpy and lumpy.

Red Apple Cinnamon Pancakes   adapted from Jamie Oliver

Ingredients:

2 red apples
2 eggs
2 cups gluten free brown rice flour mixture
2 heaping tablespoons of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch salt
Canola oil, as needed
 

Method:

Peel and roughly chop apples.  Place in medium mixing bowl.

Add 2 eggs, cinnamon, flour, salt, sugar and milk


Using hand beater, mix until smooth.

Heat a heavy pan until quite hot.  I threw a drop of water in to see if it spattered.  I used a large cast iron pan and it worked beautifully.  I need very little oil.

Add tablespoons of mix, cooking them until bubbles appear, then turn them over.

Serve with maple syrup.  I was thinking of making blueberry syrup to serve these with but I was rushing and tired and did not want the extra work.  I would do this in the future.

I would like to make this recipe with pears.

See those apple chunks.  If you prefer, you can dice or shred them.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
