Sourdough Pancakes at the cabin

About 8-12 hours before ya make pancakes, stir in 120 g (1 c.) flour (I use hard white wheat, Kamut, or Spelt) and 120 g (1/2 c.) water to your starter jar. Leave on counter with lid lightly on.

20 minutes before ya cook pancakes:
     In a bowl, mix:
240 g. starter
22 g. (1 T.) honey (or sweetener of choice)
54 g. (3 T.) applesauce or a large egg
325 g. (1 1/3 c.) milk or water (or a combination of both)
42 g. (3 T.) cashew butter or fat of choice
     
     In a bowl mix: 
180 g. (1 1/2 c.) flour (I used soft white wheat)
1/2 t. salt
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
     Mix the wet and dry together. Let rest 10 minutes.  Cook over medium-low heat on a greased skillet/griddle.

HERE's my momma's version:

<<< ....insert it here!....>>>>

Serve with:
applesauce (cinnamon or plain)
syrup
jam or jelly
nut butter and syrup
nut butter and fruit
fruit and whipped cream

Spaghetti or Pizza Sauce at the cabin

Sauce:
 In a pan, add:
1 3/4 c (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes
3/4 c. (6 oz can) tomato paste
2 c. (16 oz) water
1/3 c. (40g) flour (I used soft white wheat)
1 t. dry minced onion
1 T. dry basil
1/2 t. dry minced garlic
1/2 t. marjoram
1 t. salt
Bring to a boil, stirring often. Then simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Or... The day before, put all those ingredients in a container in the fridge and let the flavors meld. A smidge before ya need it, just heat it over med-low, stirring often until thickened. 

For Spaghetti:
Add 1 1/2 c. cooked hamburger if desired.
Serve over 16 oz pasta (cooked and drained)
Sprinkle with 1/2 oz. shredded parmesan cheese and serve.

For Pizza:
Spread on dough, add toppings and bake as directed!
OR, make cheesy breadsticks and dunk em in the sauce for "Italian Dunkers".

Beef Tacos at the cabin

Heat leftover beef  that is cut to preferred bite-sized pieces.  (or meat or beans of choice) 

Shred lettuce and cheese of choice

Get lime juice (in a bottle or slice a lime)

Slice an avocado into bite size pieces. (rub with a smidge lemon or lime juice to keep the color.)

Heat cast iron flat skillet/pan.  Get plates ready.  You're gonna eat as soon as they come off the skillet.

Ask God's blessing and put white corn tortillas on the skillet. Heat til the tortilla starts to puff up a smidge in places.  Flip and add the hot meat with a smidge of juice if available. Drizzle with lime juice. Add avocado pieces, shredded cheese, and lettuce.  Serve immediately.
