Cream Cheese Pancakes/Crepes

So, I haven't forgotten about you guys. I have been working on another couple blogs and an eBook based on my gluten-free blog. I wanted to put together a more formal recipe book that you can download to your laptop, phone or iPad.

As far as what I have been eating, I have been sticking to meat and veggies (chicken and green beans; steak, potato and salad; fish and chips etc). I am finding this really a lot easier to keep to than I expected. I am focusing more on the things that are already gluten free that I can eat, and less into modifying the things I want to eat. The hardest part is that I discovered I am fighting off Candida. This requires a much more restricted diet than I was already on, so my food ventures have not been very exciting.

I would still like to share a new recipe with you that I have really been enjoying. They taste just like little flat cheesecakes! I am not sure I would want to go back to heavy pancakes after these!


CREAM CHEESE PANCAKES/CREPES

2) Pour into a pan on medium-high heat and let cook for about 2 minutes before flipping over and cooking another minute or so.

Homemade Cream Cheese- So Easy!!

I love cream cheese and therefore find myself buying it often. I am not sure why I have not looked into making my own until now. I was amazed at how easy it was and so inexpensive! And if you make your own yogurt at home it is even better! It will cut down on the cost, packaging and you have more control over what you are consuming.


Ingredients:
1 quart (4 cups) plain yogurt (whole milk or low-fat is fine)


1) Put a colander in a bowl and line it with buttercloth. Add the yogurt and fold the cloth over the top (or cover with something).


2) Leave this in the fridge to drain for a minimum of 5 hours. For a thicker cream cheese let it drain longer.


3) Make sure to remove liquid as it drains so it doesn't reach the cream cheese and become reabsorbed. It is ready and you can eat it!


You can also try mixing in your favorite flavor of jam or some fresh herbs.




*** note: If you are using store-bought yogurt then the expiry date of your cream cheese will be the same as the yogurt***
