Pancakes

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl with electronic hand mixer. Let batter set up for about 15 minutes.

Using a 1/3 c measurement, scoop batter into skillet. Just like regular pancakes, let bubbles form & pop. Once all bubbles have popped, gently work pancakes off surface with spatula & flip.

Makes six 5-inch pancakes.

My Egg Salad

3 hard boiled eggs
3 T French's yellow mustard
1-2 T dill pickle relish or finely chopped dill pickles, to taste (I like a lot)

Break up eggs with a fork or pastry blender. Mix in mustard & pickles. Enjoy!

No-Cheese Veggie Omelet

3 eggs
1/2 c fresh spinach
1/2 c chopped mushrooms

Homemade Whipped Topping

2 cans full-fat coconut milk
2-3 packets stevia

Open the cans of coconut milk & let them sit uncovered overnight in the refrigerator. Drain off the thin part, then put the rest in a mixing bowl. Add small amount of stevia and mix with electric hand mixer until you can form soft peaks. Adjust amount of stevia as needed, mixing with hand mixer after each addition.

Southern Fish & Greens

5 ounces fish of your choice
1/3 cup each of beet greens, collard greens, & kale
1/2 c mixed berries
Apple cider vinegar
2-4 true lemon packets
Garlic powder
Dry parsley
About 1/4 c water
Small skillet with lid

Put the water in the skillet. Sprinkle desired amount of true lemon on both sides of fish fillet(s). Repeat with garlic powder, then parsley. Place the fillets in the skillet. Add the greens to the skillet & place lid on. Cook on medium until about half done (about 10 minutes). Remove lid. Add a drizzle of the vinegar on the greens & turn the fillets over if needed. Put the berries in a small microwave-safe dish & add about a quarter cup of vinegar. Microwave on high for 2 minutes,  then let sit.
Plate the fish and greens, then spoon berries on top of fillets.
Optional: drizzle juices from berries on the greens. Enjoy!

Homemade Almond Butter

Ingredients:
Raw almond meal
Olive oil

Directions:
Put almond meal in food processor or blender. (I used my bullet blender with the straight blade.) Add olive oil a few tablespoons at a time & blend well.

Consistency should be thick but spreadable. Put almond butter in a glass jar and refrigerate.

Homemade Almond Flour

This is my first batch of homemade almond flour,  & I think it came out pretty well.

I don't have a food processor strong enough to grind almonds, so I used my bullet blender with the straight blade.

Using the straight blade attachment, I ground the almonds in my "bullet" blender, little bits at a time. Do not do too many nuts at a time, or it will not grind consistently  grind in pulses, no longer than a minute at a time, or your blender will overheat. Place any flour that you will not use right away in an airtight container, date, and freeze until needed.
