Whole Wheat Pancakes

2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour (now you can actual use a combonation of flour, corn meal, protein powder but use mainly the flour. I use 1 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup of soy protein powder so I will feel full longer.)
4 tsp baking powder (If you have never shopped at ALDI..seriously save where you can baking powder is baking powder no matter how you add it up),

2 tsp LOCAL Honey (Again among other places Root Beginning cares some, Tuttle Orchard and I have a friend who will have supply soon at Locust Farms)

1/2 Cup Pumpkin Puree (You don't taste this, it add vitamins and you use it in place of eggs so you save on fat and cholestrol, if you would rather use eggs, you can use 2 eggs instead)

2 Cups of milk or milk substitute ( I use Silk Vanilla Soy LIght)

Splash of Vanilla

Mix all ingredients if seems a little thick add a little water. I then heat griddle to 350 degrees. Pour batter, once they bubble and edge set, flip. Serve with LOCAL maple syrup(http://www.locustfarms.com/) and Natural Peanut butter.

All Natural Chocolate Pudding.

GREAT Recipe for those weak moments of PMS. Ingredients for vegan, all-natural, chocolate pudding!
One ripe avocado one ripe banana

1/4 cup cocoa powder one cup alternative milk (I use SILK Vanilla Soy light)

2 tablespoons of local honey.( pick it up at our local farmers market or at http://www.rootbeginnings.com/)

Blend in blender. EAT right out of blender (With it off of course) or refridgerate and eat later. Personally like it better once it has been in the fridge but who has time for that. :)
