For those of you not familiar with New England weather, there is a saying that sums it up brilliantly: "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes." Well, today on the first day of March we got our second snow day of the year. I don't think students realize that their teachers celebrate snow days as much as they do, if not more. In honor of hunkering down to wait out the storm, I decided to make pancakes. Growing up, our family would often start off a Saturday with pancakes and bacon or eggs. So needless to say, I have always been a breakfast person. One of my greatest cravings still after 3 years on SCD, is cereal. Pancakes would also be on that list if it weren't for a recipe I have found that is a brilliant substitute. The recipe comes from scdrecipe.com which is one of my favorite sites to get new recipes from. This morning I added fresh raspberries and a simple syrup (half honey, half water). Delicious.
Yazmin's Pancakes (with slight modifications)
1 cup almond flour
1 egg
3 Tablespoons SCD yogurt
1/4 t. baking soda (although mine was more like 1/3 t.)
1/4 t. salt (or a bit less to taste)
raspberries (any fruit will work... I like banana and pecans, or blueberries)
syrup
1/4 c. water
1/4 c. syrup
Mix ingredients and pour batter onto a greased electric griddle. I cooked them on a low temp of about 300 F. If using a stove, I would set it on a medium-low temp otherwise they burn too easy. Serve with syrup and/or a dollop of SCD yogurt.

- In 2006, I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. This site attempts to document my struggles with the disease, but also the small (and delicious) victories I've had since following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (the SCD). I am by no means an expert, but hope that you find some tidbits that feed your soul, or at least your tummy. Enjoy. P.S. - In my more recent posts, you will find full SCD meals using various recipe sources compiled in each post, in the hopes that it will make following the SCD easier.
