Peach Pancakes

Hi Friend,
It has been a long time, I have a very delicious recipe for you today, Peach Pancakes with Chia and Flax Seeds. I made them last weekend and it was approved by Baby B.

What you need:
1 ripe peach (sliced thin)
2 cups flour
2 eggs
1 cup half and half (plus more if you need)
1 tbs chia seeds
1/2 tbs ground flax seed
1/8 tsp baking soda
a pinch of salt and cinnamon.

I learned the trick to make fluffy pancakes from my father in law Greg, separate the egg whites and beat them till it is a large fluffy cloud, then fold it in the batter of all the other ingredients. Heat up the pan add a little butter, place a few slices of peach in the center and pour the batter over them. Flip when the edges look solid. Hope you enjoy them.

P.S. check out the Kale Pesto if you are interested in a healthy and fast dinner.

Easy Acorn Squash and Pumpkin Soup

Hi Friend,
I attended a cooking demo by Andrea Tortorella who is a holistic health counselor. She made lots of easy soups, perfect for the fall and winter months to come. I tried the pumpkin soup at home, it was so easy and yummy, thought I share the recipe. I love the colors and the shapes of winter squash, but to be honest I didn't know the little ones you see in the stores and farmers markets are eatable.  BUT THEY ARE!!!!  So here is what you need to do, Buy a few, any color you wish, I picked an acorn squash and a small pumpkin.

Cut them in half and with a spoon take the seeds out. Then sprinkle some sea salt inside. drizzle with a little bit of olive oil and put them in the oven for 20-30 minutes on 370'F.

Take them out let them sit for 15 minutes to cool. then scoop out the flesh, put it in a blender with almond milk, and what ever spice you feel like. (or use what I have recommended) puree and serve!

My Ingredients:
1 Acorn Squash
1 Small Pumpkin
1 Cup Almond Milk
1/2 TSP Cumin
1/2 TSP Sea Salt
1/2 TSP Fresh Cracked Pepper
A few drops of lemon juice and olive oil

And that's it, Try it and enjoy!

P.S. I only used half of each squash in the recipe, and used the other half to serve it in. make sure you cut a very small piece off of the bottom of the squash before you bake it so it sits flat when you serve in it. Also don't forget about the very healthy Pumpkin Muffins!
