hello everyone:

I am not vegetarian, but do eat a lot of vegetarian foods.In dealing

with arthritis and allergies, I have eliminated a lot of common foods

from my diet. I have replaced them with more variety than I used to

eat. I have learned to have bread[ok pancakes, sorta] without gluten

or eggs and a whole lot more.I love good veggies and can eat most of

them, except for the nightshade family. I am always on the lookout

for great vegetable dishes. I am quite a good cook and have created a

lot of different grain pancakes to deal with replacing the wheat,

rye, oats, and barley I used to consume. Some things I find

substitutes for, some I do without. I have a problem digesting simple

sugars, so can't eat fruit or anything containing any amount of

sugar, so I just don't eat sweets anymore. To me all artificial

sweeteners taste exacly like their name.. artificial.Also, they just

make me realise what I am missing, so I just avoid em.

Here's a RECIPE[kinda] for graincakes made with rice and millet flours

1/2 cup rice flour 1/2 cup millet flour 2 tablespoons ground flax[ I

use golden as opposed to brown, it's supposed to contain more of the

good fats], 1 tsp salt[optional] 1 cup water, or more to make it a

bit thinner than you would normally like your pancake batter. LET SIT

at least 10 minutes, overnight is better. adjust liquid to suit how

you like pancakes, add 1 tbsp baking soda, stir in, then add 1 tbsp

apple cider vinegar. cook as for wheat pancakes, except they take

longer to cook. Let the bottom set well before you try to flip the

cakes.eat warm or cold. I like em with nut butter on em, but if you

can have sugar, then jam, syrup or honey would be great on them.

send me feed back if ya like em or not.any improvements would be

wonderful too.
