THIS IS A GREAT PANCAKE AND WAFFLE RECIPE THAT IS A LITTLE MORE HEALTHY THAN THE NORM AND YOUR FAMILY WILL NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!

2 CUPS FLOUR
2 TABLESPOONS GROUND FLAX MEAL
2 TABLESPOONS BAKING POWDER
2 TABLESPOONS SUGAR
1 TEASPOON SALT
1 CUP 1% MILK OR SKIM MILK
1 CUP BUTTERMILK
2 EGGS
1 TABLESPOON CANOLA OIL
Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl, add the wet ingredients and mix with a whisk until smooth.  Cook on hot griddle until browned on both sides.  Makes about 12 pancakes.

Here is a great idea to do if you have any leftover batter.  I make 2 inch size pancakes and freeze them between waxed paper put in a plastic freezer bag, the kids can get them out and warm them in the microwave for a snack or for breakfast the next day.





 

 

ARE YOU HEADED OUT CAMPING OR SENDING A SCOUT ON AN OVERNIGHTER?  HERE IS A TWIST ON THE TIN FOIL DINNER!

 

 

COOK A POUND OF GROUND BEEF UNTIL BROWNED.  STEAM 4 MEDIUM SIZED POTATOES AND 1 POUND OF CARROTS.  PLACE THE HAMBURGER ON THE BOTTOM OF TWO SHEET OF ALUMINUM FOIL, TOP WITH CARROTS AND POTATOES.

MIX ONE 10 OUNCE CAN OF CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP WITH 1/2 CUP SOUR CREAM.  TOP EACH TIN FOIL DINNER WITH THE SOUP MIXTURE, SEASON WITH SALT AND PEPPER AND TOP WITH SHREDDED CHEDDAR CHEESE. 

FOLD THE TIN FOIL AROUND THE MIXTURE AND ROLL UP THE SIDES.  LABEL EACH DINNER WITH A NAME AND IT IS READY TO COOK IN THE FIRE, ON THE GRILL OR IN THE OVEN.  SINCE EVERYTHING IS COOKED YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY IF IT IS DONE AND JUST HAVE TO HEAT IT THROUGH. 

MAKES THREE LARGE DINNERS OR FOUR MEDIUM SIZED DINNERS. 

 

HAPPY CAMPING!

 

 

You Will Never Need Another Cookbook!

 

 

I went to a Family and Consumer Science conference last week and one of the classes that I attended introduced this new software to help organize your recipes.  I just loved it because it can calculate nutritional value for any recipe, you can capture recipes from the internet, print a family cookbook, enter recipes that you already have on hand, and edit recipes for a large group or small group.  You can even get with others and share recipes. 
If you go to their website at www.dvo.com you can watch a video that will show you everything that it is capable of doing.  I cannot wait to get started.
