Fluffy Buckwheat Pancakes with Apple Butter

The easiest, healthiest, fluffiest pancakes I ever tasted. If you have whole buckwheat groats, an apple, and a blender, you've GOT this! The night I invented it, I lay wide awake staring at the full moon. I had just discovered that fine ground "flour" as we know it is neither healthy nor Paleolithic. I mean, how could they hand grind wild seeds on a stone on the floor of a cave? Suddenly I had a vision of fluffy buckwheat pancakes without flour. Yep, sounds impossible. Immediately I got up to soak some buckwheat groats. Next morning, the results were the sweetest, fluffiest, tastiest pancakes ever! We were eating them with apple butter within 15 minutes! A major discovery! ...

The Incans call quinoa the “Mother of all grains” and consider it a sacred food. ...

Fuji Fennel Smoothie

Detoxifying and refreshing with a hint of sweet licorice, here's a great use for those feathery fennel greens.

A delicious invigorating tea, these rich spices will stimulate you to full brain awareness. This Golden Milk is specifically formulated to wake you up and optimize the absorption of turmeric in your body.
