Breakfast For Dinner-All For Him

This journey we have ventured out in the past 10 weeks have had it's fair share of ups and downs. Because of Isaiah's food and environmental allergies we have chosen to eat clean. Some days feel like I am fighting with my kids to eat right and others are a beautiful walk in the park. We are learning everything in moderation. It hasn't been easy though fighting against the world. The way our culture here in America eats is way different then what I am trying to implement in my home. I guess that's the same as far as our faith goes too.

As a mom I realize my great need for Christ but sometimes I forget to ask Him for all I need in raising these kids. Who I am and where we are heading is IMPOSSIBLE without Him. Everyday I need to remember to ask Him for help in parenting. Last night was a tough night... Well, tough is actually a nice way to put it. Last night I went to bed angry in tears as a mom. You better believe this morning I got on my hands and knees asking for His help. :-)


I hate that I'm that way. I hate that I need to get to my boiling or the end of my trying to ask Him for help. Hello Dez!!! He realizes we need Him its a matter of us realizing it. Anyway I felt like sharing this simple but clean way of eating pancakes and breakfast for dinner.

No matter what we do as parents it all must be done in His strength and for His glory, even making pancakes ;-)


*Ingredients
4 eggs
1 cup of milk (I use THIS coconut milk, but any milk will work)
2 rounded tablespoons of pure raw honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch sea salt
pinch of cinnamon
1 cup of blueberries
coconut oil (or butter) for frying
pure maple syrup for drizzling over pancakes

*Instructions
-Whisk the eggs with the milk, honey and vanilla.
-Add the coconut flour, baking soda and salt to the liquid mixture.
-Stir until well combined.
-Gently fold in the blueberries.
-Let the pancake mixture sit for 2-3 minutes or until it reaches a normal pancake batter consistency.
-Pour the batter onto a well greased (with coconut oil or butter) griddle over medium low heat in the shape and size of desired pancake.
-Once the pancakes have tiny bubbles all over, it's time to flip.

FYI: the Pancakes on the top are banana. I added 1 smashed banana instead of the blueberries. The topping is simply strawberries washed and cut up then smashed with a bean smasher. My kids love them. That's their syrup :-)

Add your choice of eggs and bacon on the side and there you have it friends. Happy clean eating!
