I am always looking for finger foods for Calista and I read that pancakes are a great one. We love this gluten free recipe from the Fixate cookbook.
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all purpose gluten free flour (I ground up so rolled oats for oat flour) 3 tsp. Baking powder 1 dash Himalayan pink salt 1 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk 1 large egg 1 tbsp pure maple syrup 5 tbsp grass-fed butter, melted 1 tsp pure vanilla extract Directions: 1. Combine dry ingredients; mix well. Set aside. 2. Combine wet ingredients; whisk to blend. 3. Add flour mixture to almond milk mixture; whisk until no lumps. (Note: The baking powder makes it rise, so don't stir again or you will lose the fluffiness.) 4. Heat large nonstick pan over medium heat. 5. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto pan; cook 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the edges. (In my experience, the longer the better.) Flip and cook 90 seconds. 6. Continue with remaining batter. We keep some in the refrigerator for snacks and pre workout fuel. Enjoy! For more delicious, clean recipes from Fixate send me a message. The cookbook has 101 recipes to pair with 21 Day Fix. We love it.

I always focus on veggies and protein for dinner. I also usually cook my chicken breasts in large batches so that I can just reheat, add to whatever else I come up with and enjoy. This dinner took me 5 minutes.
One of my very first jobs was serving at a Mexican restaurant in Louisiana. I loved it, but it did spoil me on good food. So, for years, I've avoided enchiladas and carne asada and shrimp fajitas, because nothing is quite as good. Well, a friend recently sent this to me and I fell in love.
One of the things that I find really hard about teaching Calista to feed herself is vegetables. How am I supposed to feed her spinach and romaine and other leafy greens? Broccoli falls apart and she can't do Brussel sprouts. There are only so many green beans the girl can eat. Anyway, I decided to take my Baby Pancake recipe and tweak it to make Veggie Pancakes.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup oat flour (Simply use a food processor to grind oatmeal) 1 tbsp melted coconut oil (I use unrefined) 1 tbsp flax seed meal 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (I use Vegan Shakeology for a superfoods boost) 1/4-1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other dairy free option) Optional: 1 tsp of maple syrup Melt coconut oil and add in flaxseed meal and protein powder. Mix. Then add in your oat flour and almond milk to desired thickness. Form into a patty and slice into squares. Place in freezer to harden (less than 5 minutes). Enjoy with some berries and a glass of almond milk. 😍 *Note: If you share with your children, make a double batch. Calista is obsessed. **Note: If you want to learn more about how we get 70 superfoods in Shakeology, shoot me an email, and I'll send you the ingredient list. |
