Welcome to my recipe collection.

These recipes offer a delicious mix of new and old world flavors. From the kitchens of my mother and grandmother in Transylvania to the new fusion mixes from my home kitchen in Canada. I have been inspired by the fickle tastes of my children ( vegetarian, pescatarian or whichever way the wind may blow) and my desire to become healthier without compromising taste. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Leave me comments and your favorite recipes!

CINNAMON POLENTA PANCAKES




Using polenta (cornmeal) in addition to white flour in these pancakes makes them especially satisfying, as the ground whole grain delivers lots of fiber and a good amount of protein.







  • 1 1/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup(s) cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon(s) sugar
  • 1 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon(s) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup(s) low-fat buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup(s) olive oil
  • 1/4 cup(s) water

Directions
  1. In a bowl, whisk the flour with the cornmeal, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a bowl, whisk the buttermilk with the eggs, olive oil, and water. Whisk the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, leaving small lumps.
  2. Set a griddle or skillet over moderate high heat and spray it with vegetable oil spray. When the pan is hot, spoon in 1/4-cup mounds of batter and spread to form 4-inch rounds. Cook the pancakes until the bottoms are browned and bubbles appear on the surface, 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Serve the pancakes warm.
