Spinach Pancakes (Gluten Free!)

I hope you all are enjoying your Labor Day weekend! I have a great recipe to share. I've always been a big pancake fan, and this recipe is for some delicious, gluten-free pancakes made with spinach. Yes, spinach. And yes, they are green! I think I've found a new Christmas morning tradition! So fun. And good for you! Here's the recipe! :)

Spinach Pancakes

Ingredients: 

50 grams spinach (about two large handfuls)

2 eggs

2/3 cup oats

1/3 cup almond milk

1 1/2 tablespoons coconut flour

2 tablespoons sweetener (I used honey. You could also use maple syrup, agave nectar, etc.)

Chocolate Chips or blueberries, optional (I added chocolate chips to mine, of course!) :)

Blend all ingredients together in blender or food processor. Cook like regular pancakes in a greased skillet on medium-low heat. Top with your favorite syrup, fruit toppings, honey, almond butter, or whatever you desire. 

ENJOY! :)

Quinoa Salad

Happy Friday, everyone! Summer is sadly coming to an end. However, the weather these past few days has screamed summer. I don't know about you, but when it's so hot outside, I prefer to eat cold foods. Today, I made the perfect cold lunch that would also be wonderful as a side dish! Not to mention delicious and healthy. Vegan, gluten free, and dairy free. Here's the recipe!

Ingredients (serves 1):

3/4 cup quinoa, cooked (I had it cold, but it would work warm as well.)

Vegetables of your choice, chopped (I used what I had in my fridge: broccoli, spinach, peas, tomato, 

     and garlic. Any vegetable would work: green peppers, avocados, onion, kale, carrot, cucumber...

     GET CREATIVE!)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Salt, pepper, cayenne pepper - to taste. (Get creative with your spices, too!)

Simply mix it all up, and ENJOY!
