Inspiring Ideas for Plant Based Eating
by: Jill Nussinow
When I say gut health, people listen. Why? Because many of us have tummy troubles. People tell me that when they travel their digestion usually gets disrupted. Some people get diarrhea, some get constipated, some people feel bloated or gassy. These can happen. So, here’s some gut education. Few of us truly understand the gut and the role that it plays in our health. Only

There are two ways to live life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. Albert Einstein I picked and ate a ripe blackberry this morning. It was, and is, a miracle.Autumn is upon us. I can tell by the change of weather, the air, and the light. Fall is fire season where I live. And

True to being the renegade that I am and the one who gravitates toward the “bright shiny objects”, I am going to use both Gravenstein and pink pearl apples in this recipe which I initially made at the Gravenstein apple fair in Sebastopol, California> I included this recipe in my cookbook The New Fast Food. It’s still a winner, and easily changed to suit your

It’s not so much how I feel about eating flour, it’s how my body feels after eating flour products. Is flour the problem? Are whole grains a better option? I was speaking with a couple of friends lately, and each of them was lamenting eating more flour than they usually had during this time. They both felt like it was just “too much.” These unsolicited

Sometimes when my husband is not around and I am free to make a little or big mess in the kitchen, I do so. These pancakes don't make too much mess, take not long to make and the result is so worth it, especially when I tuck some into the freezer to eat later.
The abundance of blackberries this year and my good sorghum gluten-free sourdough starter inspired me to make these.Sourdough Sweet Potato Pancakes (with Blackberries)
Makes about 6 medium to large pancakes
1 cup brown rice or teff flour or a combo or a gluten-free flour mix
½ teaspoon salt (optional)
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup canned coconut milk (or other plant milk)
1 tablespoon ground flax or chia mixed with the coconut milk
¾ cup water or maybe sour almond milk
½ to ¾ cup mashed cooked sweet potato
½ cup gluten-free sourdough starter or discard
½ cup blackberries, or other fruit, optional
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
In a small bowl, mix the coconut milk with the ground flax or chia seeds, and let it sit for at least 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the water, sweet potato with the starter. Once the seeds have gotten gummy, mix this with sweet potato mixture. Then combine with the flour mixture.
It ought to be thick, yet pourable.I use a 1/3 cup measure to put into a medium-hot nonstick pan over medium heat. I usually cook 2 at a time, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
While on the first side if you want to add berries, put them (8 to 10) in the pancakes that you are cooking, and then put a dab of batter on top of each berry. And let cook. Then turn.
When the pancakes are cooked. Put on a plate to keep warm.I like to freeze the “extras”.
