There is an old saying that “you are what you eat”. We hear it often and maybe it has begin to become a bit watered down (by overuse) but really it is quite a truthful statement.

Grain Free Coconut Pancakes
One of the things I thought I would have do without after deciding to go grain free was pancakes. Honestly I was not that sad though since I am not a big pancake eater. Of course that was before I tried these coconut pancakes. Now we have a nice treat for Saturday or Sunday mornings when all of us are together and oh my goodness they are divine! Yum! I don't want to list the exact recipe since we got it from The Primal Blueprint Cookbook but it would be a very wise time investment to pick it … [Read more...]
