This recipe for Almond-Scented Oatmeal Pancakes fills your home with a delicious aroma as you cook them. Plus, the healthy ingredients make it a treat not only for your taste buds, but for your heart as well. Gone are the days of energy crash-and-burn white-flour pancakes!
The batter is a snap to make with no messy mixers needed. Each batch yields about 12 large pancakes and the recipe can easily be doubled for larger groups. Note: these golden hotcakes are very tasty and go quickly! We suggest that you make a large batch and heat up leftovers for a quick snack or breakfast later in the week.
Walnuts contain an excellent source of omega-3 essential fatty acids (1/4 cup gives about 90% of your daily value), as well as ellagic acid, which support immune function. Flax lignans are phyto-nutrients found in unrefined grains, legumes, certain vegetables and seeds. Flax is the richest source of lignans, providing 75 800 times more lignans than most other plant sources.
1-1/4 cups organic quick cooking oatmeal
I cup organic, low-fat plan yogurt (or vanilla flavored)
I cup organic milk (choose either low-fat, Almond, Soy or Rice milk)
1 tablespoon Molasses (can use honey) organic, if possible
1/4 cup organic whole wheat flour
1/8 cup organic ground flaxseed
1/8 cup white flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon almond extract
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract (not needed in using vanilla yogurt)
1/4 cup chopped organic walnuts
In a large bowl, combine oats, yogurt, milk and molasses with a spatula. Mix in flours, baking soda, and salt. In separate small bowl, beat eggs. Add almond and vanilla extract and mix. Pour egg mixture into oats mixture and mix well. Finally, add chopped walnuts. (Batter should be thick. If it seems too thick, add milk as needed, careful not to make batter too thin.)
Heat a large non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. When a drop of water dances around on the dry, hot griddle and quickly evaporates, the griddle is ready. Spoon desired amount onto grill (about 1/4 cup). Cook about 3 minutes look for bubbles to appear and the edges to become slightly dry looking. Flip and cook until lightly browned.
ITip: For a crisper edge, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of unsalted butter or light cooking oil per pancake to cook. To prevent smoking, wipe the grill between each batch with a suitable cloth or paper towel.
Serve with a light drizzle of organic, warm nutritious maple syrup (never use the fake stuff!). Or serve topped with organic yogurt, granola and fresh fruit delicious! They are also fabulous all by themselves.

Death Row Diaries
A showgirl gets caught in a web of sex, lies, greed and murder.
2 large heads garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half
4 pounds potatoes, peeled and quartered
freshly ground black pepper
salt to taste (optional)
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Slice about 1/4-inch off the top of the garlic heads, throw the tops away, and place heads on a piece of foil. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the garlic heads and wrap them well in the foil. Bake until tender and golden, (about 35-45 minutes). Remove from oven and let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel the skin away from the garlic cloves.
2. Add the garlic cloves to a small nonstick saucepan along with the fat-free half-and-half. Simmer the mixture over medium heat until cream is hot. Reduce heat, cover the pan and continue to simmer for a couple of more minutes. Turn the heat off and lift out the garlic cloves with a slotted spoon, place in custard cup, and set aside. Leave the saucepan with half-and-half on the stove until needed.
3. Place quartered potatoes in a large stockpot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook until very tender, about 12 minutes. Drain potato pieces in a colander.
4. Add hot, steaming, and drained potato pieces directly to a large mixing bowl and beat on low while you slowly pour in the fat-free half-and-half. Season with salt and pepper if desired and gently stir in the roasted garlic cloves. Serve!
