Blueberry Buckwheat Pancakes
- 3/4 c buckwheat flour
- 3/4 c whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 t baking powder
- 1/2 t baking soda
- 1/4 t sea salt
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 1/4 c buttermilk
- 3 T honey
- 2 T canola oil
- 2 t vanilla
- 1 1/2 c blueberries, fresh or frozen
Directions
Preheat griddle to 350 degrees. Mix dry ingredients in medium bowl and wet in small bowl. Mix wet into dry, then fold in blueberries or use alternate method for incorporating blueberries detailed below. Bake until golden brown.
Buckwheat flour: Buckwheat gives baked goods a grayish tone, which is quite different from other flours, but has a nice flavor that is a welcomed change of pace. If you do not have, or do not want to use buckwheat flour, substitute whole wheat flour.
Blueberry Incorporation: If you have a cherry picking blueberry pancake eater like I do, (who shall remain nameless, but whose name rhymes with "hubby"), then your going to have to up your blueberry incorporation game to ensure all pancakes have an adequate number of blueberries and proper distribution throughout the pancake. I take a soup ladle, pour about 15 blueberries and scoop about three spoonfuls of batter into the ladle, mix together in the ladle, and pour onto the griddle. This does a fantastic job of properly distributing blueberries throughout all the pancakes.
Pancake batter: Depending on how you measure ingredients and how densely packed the flour is, your pancake batter can be thick or thin, making similar pancakes. To thin out pancakes, add about 2 T of buttermilk at a time. To make pancakes thicker, add up to 1/4 c of flour at a time.

Directions
To bake fresh pumpkin, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut pumpkins in half, remove pulp and seeds, and place face down on baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until knife easily pierces skin. Remove skin from pumpkin and place in medium bowl, mash with potato masher until consistent.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and prep pie plate according to the method of you liking.
For the crust, combine graham cracker crumbs, ginger, and orange zest, honey, butter, and water and mix until crumbly. If mixture is dry, add additional water. Press mixture onto bottom and sides of pie pan and bake for 8 minutes.
Combine all filling ingredients, except evaporated milk, in medium bowl. Mix, add evaporated milk, and mix again. Pour into pie shell. Bake for 40 minutes or until center is set.
Buying fresh pumpkin: The best pumpkins to use for pumpkin pie are sugar pie pumpkins or pie pumpkins. They are small, dark orange, sweet and great for pies, cheesecakes, soups, and breads. These pumpkins are about 4 lbs each, and you will need one for this recipe.
Gourmet Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
- pumpkin seeds
- olive oil
- sea salt
- inspirational seasoning (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Remove the bulk of the pulp from seeds. You can wash the seeds or not, your choice, just make sure they aren't really wet when you go to prepare them. Place seeds in a bowl, drizzle a little olive oil, sprinkle a bit of sea salt, then add any inspiration you like. Toss seeds to create an even coating. Place seeds on a baking sheet and bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown, stirring periodically.
Here are a few ideas for seasonings: chili powder, Cajun seasoning, tequila lime seasoning, cayenne pepper, black pepper, seasoning blend, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian herbs, Parmesan cheese, and cinnamon.
Side Note: We tried Parmesan cheese, chili powder, garlic powder, and cinnamon. All were good, but the Parmesan were my personal favorite.
