Banana Pancakes - Healthy & Good

Banana Pancakes

These pancakes are healthy and packed with protein.  They are great for breakfast, a handy to-go snack, or easy on the stomach when sick.  (I got through a week of nursing school with the stomach flu on just these pancakes alone.)  

  Ingredients: 

 









2 large, very ripe Bananas.  (Can also do 2 1/2 if you want more banana flavor)
4 large Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
4 tablespoons Ground Flax Seed
4 tablespoons Coconut Flour
1 scoop Vanilla Flavored Protein Powder


 Directions:

 1.  In a blender, combine eggs and bananas.  Blend these until smooth.





2.   Add vanilla extract, baking soda, protein powder and flax seed in blender.  Blend until smooth.





3.   Add Coconut flour with blender turned on, one tablespoon at a time.  Blend until smooth.  Batter should thicken as you add coconut flour.  If you desire batter to be thicker, add more coconut flour, 1/2 tablespoon at a time.





4.  Pour onto hot, greased griddle.





5.  Cook until able to flip over with spatula, approximately 6-9 minutes.





We have used, as noticed in these photos a regular blender.  Recently, we have invested in a better blender that allows us to make a double batch of pancakes at once.  We recently purchased the Ninja Professional Blender 1000 (BL610) and it works so much better.  Basically, the blender helps evenly combine all the ingredients.


My grandmother has found that these are able to be put into the freezer and still taste great.  We haven't tried this yet because we eat them so fast that there is no possibility of the going bad before being eaten.

Hungarian Goulash

Hungarian Goulash
** My Favorite Gloomy Day Food **



Ingredients:

1 lb Hamburger
2 (28oz Cans) of Tomatoes
8 oz Elbow Macaroni
Dash of Salt
Dash of Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Basil
1/4 Teaspoon Oregano Leaves
1/4 Teaspoon Ground Bay Leaves
(If you use whole leaves, use 3 - 4)











Directions:

Make elbow macaroni according to the package












Brown the hamburger while making the pasta











Drain the pasta












(I like the make mine the slow cooker.  I make it in the morning and cook it on LOW until supper.)

Put pasta in the slow cooker.












Add browned meat to slower cooker.











Add spices: salt, pepper, basil, bay leaves, & oregano leaves.











Add tomatoes











Stir together well.  Add 1/8 cup of water.











(If you taking some of this out to freeze, now is the time to remove half and put it in a freezer safe container.  I can't eat a whole batch of goulash myself and my husband can't eat it because it has to many carbohydrates.  So I take half of the batch and freeze it for later use.)











If you don't want to make this in the crook pot and/or make it ahead, you can make it like stated above and then let it simmer on the stove for about 40 minutes. :)

To unfreeze....let it sit over-night (or a couple of nights) in the fridge.  Then dump it into your pot and cook as directed above.
