Golden Flax Bread » The Medicine Woman's Roots For those of us unable to eat grains in any form, bread can seem like a thing of the past. I went years without eating bread, much to my great sadness. And then, I discovered flax! I’d made flax crackers before and they’re great but I had no idea flax could become something firm, fluffy and yummy — something very like bread! This is my basic recipe, it’s very simple and any part can be modified to suit you needs, it’s really not the kind of thing that falls apart with any variation or omission. Amazingly, this bread is really really good. Be sure to get high quality flax seed. A word of wisdom: you must understand that flax has a LOT of fiber in it. Mix dry ingredients together well. The recipe will work for a regular sized pie tin or small loaf pan. Get your oven nice and hot (I have wood cookstove, I have no idea what the degrees are, but cooler than for biscuits, more like cornbread temp). Cook for appr. 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Variations:
Paleo Breakfast Bars | Gluten Free Granola Bar Recipe Paleo breakfast bars made with almond flour, coconut oil, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and raisins. This recipe for Paleo Breakfast Bars is an amended version of a recipe I posted in 2009. I have rewritten this recipe for several reasons. First, although a number of people swore by it, others commented that the bars came out crumbly for them. In any event, this simple gluten-free homemade breakfast bar recipe is a favorite in our house as it is easy to pack for a hike and delicious enough to serve as a healthy dessert after lunch or dinner.

Crackers I tried my hand at a Paleo Chili last night, and wanted some kind of cracker to go with it. This is what I came up with on the fly, and it turned out really good. I will be trying the same recipe and mixing up the spices I put in it. I am thinking these would be a great alternative on a meat and cheese platter for the upcoming holiday parties! Crackers 1 C Almond Flour 1/4 C Coconut Flour 1 Egg 1/2 tsp Salt 1 Tbsp Onion Powder 1/8 C Avocado Oil + extra to grease pan Preheat oven to 325. Liberally grease a baking stone, or parchment a baking sheet. Mine covered the whole 9X13 stone.

Pancakes Revisted • Gluten Free Breakfast Recipe These gluten free, grain free and dairy free pancakes are a healthy breakfast treat. The feedback pertaining to the Pancake and Flapjack recipes on my website has been interesting to watch. Many people have loved and had great success with these recipes and many have had trouble with them as well. Since these 2 recipes seemed to be more troublesome then most, I decided to re-work them in this post. Here’s a comment from a helpful reader: I had problems, like other comments have mentioned, that the flapjacks weren’t firm enough to flip.

Apple Picking and Gluten-free Apple Crisp (Oat-free and Nut-free) One of the things I realized when I was back in Alberta a couple of weeks ago is that change takes time to accept and meld into our lives. It’s okay to dig our heels in the mud once in awhile and wish things were easier, cry a bunch, and hibernate from the world. Then, once you’re done with all that, it’s up to you to strap on your boots and make the most of the situation. As my Dad said, you won’t know you hate it in Montreal until you give it a fair chance. Dads always give the best advice. I came back to Montreal, made a list of all the cool things I’d heard that this part of our country had to offer, and made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t decide whether or not I truly wanted to go home until I’d tried them all. I call it Operation Fall in love with Quebec. First up – apple picking. I found this fabulous list of apple picking orchards near Montreal and decided on Le Verger Labonté for our first apple picking experience. Apple crisp seems like a good start, don’t you think?
Cauliflower cheese - comfort food with class Last updated 11:41 05/09/2011 The first month of spring is often a little sad as not much has really changed. Outside is still gusty and chilly, often wet. Perhaps the earth has warmed as the green growth has started to get a wriggle on but all those leaves still hide no fruit. My little patch of veges is particularly behind because of our recent move to our new house. I sit on my hands waiting for everything to burst forth and fill my plate. The soaring price of dairy and a few special organic additions has taken this dish from the humble to the decadent. The milk can be spiced with anything appropriate. There is one more twist in the nomenclature of the white sauce; the roux becomes a bechamel, but when cheese (traditionally gruyere) is then added it becomes a mornay sauce. If you want to be flash, rather than just tuck in with your mates, you could say you are having baked cauliflower and prosciutto in mornay sauce. I'm happy to stick with good old cauliflower cheese. 25g butter 2T flour
