Have you ever wanted pancakes but were too lazy to spend the time pouring drippy batter over a hot griddle? Add to that, the time-consuming flipping of just two or three pancakes at a time to build up enough of a stack to feed more than one person? Me, too.  So I wondered what would happen if I mixed the pancake batter and then poured it into a cake pan and baked it. Would I get one big pancake that actually tasted like a pancake with a pancake-like texture? The answer is yes! May I present: Gluten Free Yogurt Cake Pan Pancakes.

I wanted gluten-free pancakes with some organic yogurt mixed in for a fluffier texture. Here’s how I did it:

My go-to gluten-free pancake mix is Pamela’s. (also available in a much smaller bag!) To that  I added two organic eggs, almond milk, organic plain yogurt, a little melted coconut oil, and a dash of cinnamon and a dash of salt. Specific measurements are in the recipe at the bottom of the post.

I just mixed the ingredients in a bowl and then poured the batter in an 8″ cake pan greased with coconut oil. I baked it for 30-35 minutes at 350°. I let it cool for 5 minutes before removing from the cake pan.

Once removed, I cut it into wedges, stacked a few, buttered them and garnished with strawberries and blueberries.

And of course, poured some warm organic maple syrup over the whole thing.

Cake pan pancakes are a wonderful alternative to the griddle cakes method. Give it a try and let me know how you like it!

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Here’s an easy recipe for zesty Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Roasted garlic adds that delicious zing to the potatoes. You’ll have this family favorite side dish ready in no time!

I grew up loving mashed potatoes, and when I was old enough to help in the kitchen it was my job to beat to the potatoes into creamy smoothness with an electric mixer. Lumpy potatoes were forbidden which turned this into a time consuming task. Well, no more!

Call me rebellious, but I take satisfaction in making my potatoes the rustic way – without a mixer of any kind and with some lumps to lend authenticity to their rustic-ness. And, of course, there’s the garlic. Roasted, mellow garlic. This is a grown-up inclusion which can be customized depending on how much of a garlic lover you are.

First, you’ll want to make sure that you have some roasted garlic on hand. You’ll need the cloves from one medium-sized head of garlic. Here’s my post on how to roast garlic. Roast the garlic, remove the cloves, and set aside.

Roasted Garlic Cloves

Next, peel and dice the potatoes. I used organic yellow potatoes here, but russet would work fine, too. Boil the potatoes until fork tender. Drain and return to pan.

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

I like to add butter to the hot potatoes and let it begin melting just a a little before I begin mashing them. I use a stainless steel potato masher, like this one. Once the butter starts to melt, I begin mashing. When I’ve gotten the big chunks mashed, I add the sour cream, half-and-half, salt, and mash some more. Make sure to taste and salt as needed. You may also need to add a little more half-and-half if your potatoes are too dry.

Set the potatoes back on the burner on low/warm and continue.

Add the roasted garlic cloves to the potatoes. You can rough chop them before adding them in, but here, the cloves were soft enough that they mashed right in. Mash (or stir) them in. Taste and see if you would like more garlic flavor before adding the remainder to the potatoes. If you can handle the flavor, add the rest in and give them a stir. Again, you may need to add more liquid/milk.

Once your potatoes are at the flavor and consistency that you desire, serve them up and enjoy!

Hot Spinach And Artichoke Dip

Hot spinach and artichoke dip – ah! This is the kind of dip that I love: super easy to put together and it tastes amazing hot or cold.

Hot Spinach And Artichoke Dip

This dip is heavy on the cheese, as it should be!

Hot Spinach And Artichoke Dip

I’ve tried to use organic wherever possible. Here are the ingredients that I used: organic spinach (steamed), organic cream cheese, organic sour cream, artichoke hearts (chopped), freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and Mozzarella cheese, and roasted garlic cloves.

Hot Spinach And Artichoke Dip

To put it together, make sure you have some roasted garlic on hand. I prefer the more mellow taste of roasted garlic in this dip, but you can certainly use raw garlic, or even garlic powder. However, give the roasted garlic a try if you can. (Here’s a how-to on roasted garlic.)

Go ahead and steam the spinach and set aside. Drain and chop the artichoke hearts; set aside.

In a sauce pan, over medium heat, combine cream cheese, sour cream, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and Mozzeralla cheese (reserve a little for the top). Stir until the cream cheese softens and begins to melt. Add in the artichokes and chopped roasted garlic cloves; stir to combine. Add in the steamed spinach and stir to combine.

Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased casserole dish. Top with reserved Parmigiano-Reggiano  and Mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes to brown the top layer of cheese.

Hot Spinach And Artichoke Dip

You’ll definitely smell this lovely dip before your oven timer beeps. Carefully remove from oven and admire your hot spinach and artichoke dip while it cools just a wee bit. Hey, that cheese it hot!

When it’s safe to consume, serve it up with some bread, crackers and/or chips.
