I love making all sorts of pancakes, both sweet and salty.  But now that my son has Celieac Disease I started messing around in the kitchen and came up with a pretty nice recipe for some yummy gluten free cakes that the entire family can enjoy.  Plus you can serve them sweet or salty which in our case means they will either be for breakfast or dinner.

So without further adue, here’s to the gluten free people in your life, this recipe is sure to make you lick your lips and want seconds.

What you’ll need if you’re making these salty:

1 cup of organic frozen or fresh sweet corn kernels

2 tablespoons of organic chia seeds

1 heaping tbsp of organic extra virgin coconut oil, Melted (not in the microwave just leave out on window sill or in a warm place)

2 tsp of organic coconut cream or organic coconut mana

½ cup of organic coconut flour

¼ cup of organic corn meal

1/2 tsp organic gray sea salt or regular sea salt

1/4 cups of organic chives chopped

1/4 tsp black pepper

First take your chia seeds and soak them in ¾ cup of water for about 5 to 10 minutes until a gel forms.  I found that this makes a great egg substitute.  Of course if you want to use eggs you can omit the chia seeds.

Blend all your ingredients including chia seed gel in your blender or food processor.  In a pan or flat grill place a teaspoon of coconut oil, melt at medium heat and scoop out spoonfuls of the mixture leaving about 1 inch of space between each scoop.  Flatten then with gentle care and cook until golden and then flip to do the other side.

Once they are ready you can cut them open and make a grilled cheese with them or serve with cream cheese, sour cream, meatloaf, nut salad, sautéed vegetables or whatever you like.

To make these sweet follow the same recipe above but omit the chives, pepper and salt.  Instead use ¼ cup of finely chopped nuts or seeds, 3 tablespoons of organic coconut sugar, ½ tsp of organic vanilla extract and a pinch of organic nutmeg.

Prepare as mentioned above and serve with chopped bananas and organic strawberries or with organic almond butter and raw honey!!

Yummy Yummy.  I think I am going to whip up a mean batch of these right now!!!

Enjoy – Lots of Love – Blessings to you and yours.

LCO’s New Site for Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance

Hi guys.  Its been a crazy week for us.  My oldest son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease yesterday and I have been running around in circles since, trying to make needed changes, making herbal medicine, creating a new website, comforting my son and finishing up 2 talks that I am giving this weekend at a health & wellness retreat.  The great thing is that despite his diagnosis the Dr said that his blood is exceptionally healthy which is very uncommon for children suffering from the severity of his gluten allergy.  Under normal conditions he would be malnourished, lacking in vital minerals and vitamins and with possible cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and many other issues.

His great blood work is a testament to our organic diet and all the raw green smoothies we do daily.  So I am on another mission to see if this diagnosis can be reversed at all through herbs, detoxing, raw food and anything else I can get my hands on.

My son was feeling kind of down about this yesterday since it ALTERS everything for him and for our family.  In an effort to encourage him and the millions of families dealing with Celiac disease I vowed I would start another site and offer up our experience and life journey to help others and use my years of research for the benefit of our family and all my readers around the world.

And so,  “Gluten Free Mommy & Me” site was born at about midnight last-night.

The site is still under construction but I am very excited to share my perils and life changes with you as we go through this journey of Celiac disease in our oldest child.  Since he was just diagnosed and I wanted to dive in nose first so that as we push on through I can encourage and support others going through the same thing.

I often say that God lets us go through tough times so in our suffering and hardship we can bless others.  This new site is dedicated to the millions of children and their families that have Celiac disease.  My hope is to bless and equip you so that you can overcome the obstacles, find encouragement, try great recipes, and read the latest research and health articles on the topic so that you won’t feel like you’re the only mom or dad in the world dealing with this.

I also want to provide you with the latest resources for organic gluten free foods as not all gluten free foods are healthy from what I have seen.  Who knows, LCO might branch out and start making organic gluten free foods……….

Lots of Love
