Blue Corn Cakes
I love using blue corn. It makes dinner more fun when corn bread and corn cakes are blue instead of yellow. Look for it in Whole Foods or in the natural and organic section of your local supermarket.
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
- 2/3 cup blue corn meal
- 1 TB onion powder
- 1/2 TB garlic powder
- 1.5 tsp (or 1 tsp if at altitude) baking powder
- 1 tsp (or 3/4 tsp at altitude) baking soda
- pinch sea salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- pinch Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes
- 2 eggs
- 2 TB evaporated cane juice
- 1 cup plain rice milk (go ahead and use real milk if you stock it)
- 3 TB walnut oil
In one bowl, combine the dry ingredients, and in another, mix the wet. Whisk the wet into the dry and pan fry like pancakes (300-350 on a lightly oiled griddle) for a few minutes on each side. Serve with something delicious and enjoy.

These quinoa patties are great topped with cheddar cheese and BBQ sauce or salsa.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup veggie broth
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup yellow corn meal
- 1/2 TB powdered garlic
- 1/2 TB powdered onion
- pinch of Coriander
- pinch of Sea Salt
- fresh ground Black Pepper
- Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes
- 1 egg, beaten
Bring the veggie broth to a boil. Add the rinsed and drained quinoa, return to a boil, add the chopped onion and shallot, and then lower heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes or so until all of the liquid is absorbed.
In a large bowl, add all of the rest of the ingredients except the egg. Mix the quinoa into this when it is done. Finally, add the beaten egg and mix until it is just combined. Drop by spoonfuls onto a hot griddle or frying pan, which has been preheated with some olive oil. Pan fry like pancakes, flipping once. Enjoy
