Buckwheat Mango-Lemon Pancakes! GLUTEN FREE :)
APPROX. 250 cal/TWO pancakes (1/4 cup batter serving each)
My mom is trying to go gluten-free, so I thought I would come up with a yummy gluten-free pancake recipe :) I really just followed a basic pancake recipe but then made some alterations, as you will see below. They turned out great! I didn’t even need syrup for them because they had so much flavor.
Ingredients:
1 cup buckwheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp Truvia stevia (6 packets)
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp melted butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla
cubed mango
lemon zest (maybe 1.5 tbsp?)
Directions:
1. Mix all dry ingredients (flour through salt).
2. Add in, one at a time, the wet ingredients (egg through vanilla)
3. cube the mango and mix in to batter (about 1/4 cup)
4. Zest the whole lemon (if it is a large one, stick around 1-2 tbsp zest)
5. Use 1/4 cup to measure out batter, and cook until brown on both sides.
Enjoy!

Crock-Pot Dinner! “East-West Barbequed Chicken”
This chicken was cooked on low for 8 hours with the following sauce (from the Crock-Pot website):
1/3 cup ketchup
1/3 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
Underneath the chicken is some rice and stir-fry vegetables, which included:
Yams
Carrots
Broccoli
Squash
Onions
Mushrooms
Zucchini ‘pasta’ and Avocado sauce
Ingredients:
2 zucchini, peeled with a julienne slicer
Sauce:
1 avocado
1 tbsp cilantro
1/2 lime
salt & pepper
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup spinach (OPTIONAL - I didn’t really like it)
2 tbsp sour cream (OPTIONAL - this wasn’t in the original recipe but I liked it)
1-2 tbsp olive oil
Directions:
1. In a blender, combine all sauce ingredients and blend until smooth.
2. In a pot, boil water. place julienned zucchini in pot.
3. Cook until *JUST* tender - only a couple minutes! if you cook for too long, the ‘noodles’ will fall apart.
4. mix together, slice grape tomatoes and add to pasta.
5. microwave for 30-40 seconds. add more salt & pepper as necessary.
Enjoy!
kisses!

someone asked me about SimpsonU…
…how i liked it, advice i could give, etc.
A little background, I graduated from Simpson almost 2 weeks ago, and I had transferred there in 2009 from Humboldt State University.
Anyways, I liked Simpson! It has its good and bad like any school.
The good: it has a really close-knit community that cares about you and keeps you accountable. In my personal opinion, the best part about Simpson is the professors. They genuinely care about you and invest in you personally. The professors that were in my department (psychology) were AMAZING and really helped me grow as a Christian and a functioning person of society. I’ve also made my absolute best friends there, and that is something that’s irreplaceable.
The bad: the close-knit community can get a little suffocating sometimes. Since it’s so small, people can easily get in your business which can get REALLY annoying. It was a little too small for my taste, to be honest, but again, the professors and the friends I made there made me stay. Also you might find that people, at times, can be somewhat close-minded. There’s also not a lot of diversity there, which is an issue. There also isn’t a HUGE amount of different classes you can take, unfortunately, due to the small nature of the school.
anyways, that’s my take on Simpson! Hope that helped, http://nataleezyy.tumblr.com.
I hope you have a great time at Simpson! Get super involved, get a job on campus, and don’t be afraid to talk to your professors or go to their office hours. :)
