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!

1 c GF flour blend, almond flour or combo of both (or just regular flour)
1tsp baking powder
1/2tsp ground cinnamon
1/8tsp of salt if using GF blend
1T agave or brown sugar
1 large egg
2T melted non dairy butter
2/3c unsweetened orange juice
1/3c-2/3c non dairy milk (just enough to make a smooth/creamy batter)
*may need to drizzle liquid lecithin in batter to keep from being crumbly.

1. Sift dry ingredients, male well in center, add egg and butter, then gradually add the orange juice. Then enough milk to make a smooth batter consistency of double heavy cream.

2. Add to preheated waffle maker using a 1/4c or ladle.  Cook till done, 4-6min.
