Making these pancakes was easy; taking a picture of them wasn’t. Food photography is hard! Anyhow, I discovered buckwheat and now I am in love. Buckwheat is so nutritious and full of protein, fiber, and magnesium which we all could use more of. Another thing going for is that it is low in phytic acid, so it is a bit easier to digest. It’s not even a grain!!! I had no idea. To make them, I mixed together 3/4 cups buckwheat flour, 3/4 cups water, 1 big banana, and a couple tablespoons of cricket flour. I used coconut oil and fried them in an iron skillet which makes them even better! Next time I make them, which will probably be tonight, I am going to add more cricket flour because I was a little too shy with it. Lastly, when you make these, use real grass-fed butter because life is too short to eat the crappy stuff.

I live in Grants Pass, Oregon with my wonderful husband and am in the process of re-imagining a new life for myself!
I just moved from Portland where I spent the last 11 years on a metaphorical runway and now am ready to take off. College, a marriage, several customer service jobs, death, fear and shyness were all teachers, but it's time for me to take what I learned and use my talents to make a better life for myself and give back to the community.
I have a passion for helping people remember their relationship with nature. I went to Portland State University where I earned my Masters in Educational Leadership and Policy with a specialization in Sustainability Education. I enjoy blogging because it is a way for me to help others regain this relationship and learn how to care for the Earth by living more simply and mindfully.
Traditional cooking, natural building, living simply, permaculture and ecopsychology are my favorite subjects and I have a new obsession with eating bugs as a way to help live a more sustainable life. I only appear quiet and reserved until someone gets me going any of these topics!
