I lied.  I didn't make pumpkin pie.  I picked up my farm share and someone foisted a half-dozen, over ripe, bananas onto me.  I instead made pumpkin banana bread?  Utilizing buckwheat honey as my moisture?  Never made the recipe before, so I'm trying it now for breakfast.  Butter and drizzled honey on a slice.

 
My mother used to make buckwheat pancakes and I swear those things would practically mummify me, they were so dry. Ugh. 

Paying a friend to make pies for Thanksgiving. I'll post them like I baked them.

Strangely enough, my grandmother used to get buckwheat pancake mix from a friend, and they were the best pancakes I've ever had.  I never was able to figure out what brand the mix was after she passed, and after trying three or four, just gave up looking.

My mother has a cooking skill that allows her to turn anything good bad. 

It came from this cookbook, which she kept as a Bible: https://www.amazon.com/JANE-BRODYS-GOOD-FOOD-BOOK/dp/B0082AHK5I/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_img_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=6A1BNWFZYSYR930FZ7FG

I'm now dying that it's "Living the High Carbohydrate Way." That doesn't sound keto. 

Here's the recipe:

INGREDIENTS



    • Dry ingredients for a mix for 16
    • 2 2/3 cups whole wheat flour
    • 1 1/3 cups unbleached flour
    • 1 cup corn meal (or oat, millet or buckwheat)
    • 1/2 cup wheat germ
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 4 tsp baking powder
    • 2 tsp baking soda
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1 cup dried buttermilk mix
    • 1/3 cup powdered non-fat milk
    • To make a batch for 4 servings:
    • 1 1/2 cup mix
    • 1 1/4 cup water
    • 1 egg white
    • 1 TBsp oil
    • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
    • yogurt, fruit and syrup (optional)


PREPARATION




  1. To make the mix, thoroughly combine all the dry ingredients and store in container in a dark place. To make enough pancakes for 4 people, combine the liquid ingredients and quickly stir them into 1 1/2 cups of the mix. Add more mix or water to make the thickness you prefer. Pour cakes into a very hot greased skillet and flip when ready. Top with yogurt instead of the traditional butter and fruit and syrup.


 
I made chocolate chip cookies last night for a friend's birthday today. But the mix was premade. They look good!

 
Didn't taste them (probably a mistake) because I only made one dozen, and there are going to be 10 people at the house tonight... I didn't want to show up with 10 or 11 cookies, haha!

You can't bake cookies and not taste them. I think it's punishable by death in some places, at least in the south.
