First up is a twist on yummy German pancakes. I was craving our usual German pancakes that only have 5 ingredients, but I wanted to find something that was gluten free since I am staying away from gluten for a while. I came across THIS recipe for German pancakes that uses coconut flour. I didn't have a pear like the recipe called for so we just used apples. It turned out great as is. We all really enjoyed it and our youngest devoured it!
Grain-free German Apple pancakes
Ingredients
12 eggs
2 cups almond milk
1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 apples, sliced 1/8″ thick
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Directions
Preheat
oven to 425 degrees.
In a
large bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, 1/3 cup coconut oil, vanilla, and 1
tablespoon maple syrup. In a small bowl, stir coconut flour, 1/8 teaspoon
nutmeg, and baking soda. Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients and beat well
to combine. Set aside while you prepare the apples and pears.
In a
small frying pan, heat 1/4 cup of coconut oil with 1/4 cup maple syrup. Stir in
cinnamon and nutmeg; cook for 1 minute. Pour the mixture into a 9×13″ baking
pan. Spread apple and pear slices into an even layer in the baking pan.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the apples/pears.
Bake
for 20 minutes in preheated oven. Reduce heat to 375 degrees and continue to
cook for 20-25 minutes.
I went to a friends house the other day and she was making Lasagna soup. I almost never make lasagna because its hard on my stomach, but the thought intrigued me since my husband LOVES lasagna. So I decided to make it Mindy friendly, that way maybe I could eat lasagna and love it too. I took THIS recipe from Our Best Bites and tweaked it since we don't eat sausage much, and I don't eat gluten.
Lasagna Soup
Ingredients
1 pound Organic ground beef1 large chopped onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 teaspoons dried oregano
optional: 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
3 Tablespoons tomato paste
2 14.5 oz cans of organic diced tomatoes
2 bay leaves
6 cups chicken broth
8-12 oz brown rice pasta (or other pasta of your choice)
2 Tablespoons dried basil
2 teaspoons organic worcestershire sauce
Pepper to taste
Optional: ½ cup shredded parmesan
Shredded mozzarella to put on top
Organic cottage cheese
Ricotta cheese
Instructions
Add hamburger to a large pot and cook until lightly browned through. Add onions and cook until softened. Add garlic, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes Cook for about a minute then add your tomato paste and stir well to incorporate.
Add your diced tomatoes, bay leaves, and chicken stock. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. You can add the dry pasta to the soup in the last 8-ish minutes of cooking, or you can cook the pasta separately and add to individual servings. Right before serving season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
To serve, place a generous dollop of ricotta or desired cheese (if adding) in each soup bowl, add pasta if you cooked it separately, and ladle the hot soup over the cheese. Let it sit for a minute for the cheese to melt, sprinkle mozzarella on top if desired and then dive in!
We didnt add any oil to the hamburger when browning, and then drained the grease from off of it. It turned out great.
I try not to eat dairy or gluten, so this can be altered to GF and dairy free. If you opt not to add any cheeses to it it's still delicious! In fact I suggest you try it like that. My husband and girls wanted a little ricotta cheese and cottage cheese on top. They really liked it!

Both of these were huge hits for my family. I hope you enjoy them as well!
