DELIVERING DELECTABLE DISHES DAY & NIGHT!

My immediate family has dealt with lactose intolerance, IBS, auto immune disorders and fatal cancer. From Fall '09-Summer 2010 I went from running 1/2 marathons to not being able to get out of bed, plagued with intense headaches, exhaustion and more. With my family history and my own immune system comprimised I was motivated to take a bit of a journey to better health. Slowly I've made considerable changes, (I'm not always 100% vigilant), but I know these changes have helped me return to better health...FOOD CHANGES: I cut out gluten, cut out most dairy, cut down on the "white stuff"-sugar, white rice & flour, decreased the amount of processed foods consumed, drink green smoothies regularly, eliminated red meat and eat more vegetarian and vegan dishes...just to name a few!

I use gluten free (GF) pasta and either a whole grain blend by Nalani Brown or a mix from Kathy Taylor for most bread, cake and cookie recipes-they are awesome! (If you like Kathy's mix, email me to order her cookbook at ishagirlclub@gmail.com.)

GF mix can be substituted straight across for regular flour if you aren't cooking gluten free!

Hope you enjoy!

1tsp baking powder
1/4tsp salt
1 tsp grated lemon rind
1 large egg or 2 medium ones
2T melted nondairy butter or oil

*drizzle of liquid lecithin to help bind batter and prevent crumbling if needed

1. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.  Add lemon rind.

2. Make well in center and add egg and butter. Combine all, gradually adding non dairy milk until batter is the consistency of single light cream.

3. Spray preheated waffle maker, ladle in appropriate amounts of batter for your machine. Cook 4-6 min or until your iron signifies it is done. Depending on how much milk you've put in you will get about 4 waffles or more.
