2 c all-purpose flour
1⁄2 c sugar 1⁄2 tsp salt 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp baking soda 1⁄2 tsp cinnamon 1⁄2 tsp vanilla 3 eggs 1 c Plain Greek Yogurt 3⁄4 c Non-fat Milk 1 c canned pumpkin Directions 1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. 2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs; add the yogurt, milk and pumpkin. 3. Combine the egg mixture and the flour mixture and stir until just blended. 4. Use a ¼ cup to pour pancake mixture onto a greased medium-low heat griddle. (Pancakes will cook too quickly on too hot of a pan. Keep the heat low to fully cook the pancakes) This recipe is a great way to add vegetables and protein into your breakfast. The pancakes taste great with out syrup because the pumpkin adds so much moisture and flavor. If there is extra batter, cook all the pancakes, cool to room temp, and freeze. The pancakes are great to pull out of the freezer, pop in the toaster and take to go on a busy morning.

ICE CREAM! This sweet treat has a special place in my heart. As a child, I absolutely loved having a bowl of ice cream before bed. Little did I know that this fabulous treat was causing some of my health issues. Dairy often causes mucus to form in the body. This mucus can lead to allergies, skin issues, digestive issues (acid reflux, bloating, constipation, IBS), it can even cause cysts. The good news is that there are some healthy dairy substitutes! This weekend I treated my inner child to some homemade coconut milk ice - cream and I wanted to share that recipe with you! Yesterday, in honor of Mardi Gras I decided to try something fun - Cauliflower Pizza Crust! Don't let the name or the main ingredient fool you it was delicious!
