Ok, I admit it. I've gone a bit Yuka nuts, and I am discovering that much of what I eat, much of what I like, and much of what I generally considered healthy are, apparently, crap. My favorite pancake batter, Krusteaz, scores a 3/100. A 3.

The purpose of this thread is to share ideas about healthy eating, good alternatives to bad stuff you thought was good. I always thought regular, plain Cheerios were good. I was wrong. Very wrong...

So to start, two questions...

First, Is there a reasonably healthy boxed pancake / Belgian waffle mix out there that tastes good?

and

Second, who has a killer home made batter recipe for really good pancakes?

I saw one recently, and now can't find it. I found a bunch of video recipes, but someone shared their personal recipe, typed out, and after scanning a bunch of pancake threads, I still can't find it.

Pretty much gave up on carbs with my BS being above normal.

Daughter is heavy into sourdough bread so much so that she'll do a drop on FB and it sells out in an hour or less. She calls her FB page Lady Whistledough, some play on some story books, if you could give her a like!

A good sourdough pancake mix would be much healthier than Aunt J's or Krusteaz, all of their mixes have some sugar. I do like their southern cornbread..

the Hangry Woman has some diabetic recipes substituting Almond flour for traditional.

Get some sourdough starter and begin making bread products with it.

The problem with sourdough starter is not creating it, but maintaining it. There's no need to buy it, it is easy to start a batch, wild yeasts are everywhere. Now if you want a particular strain (like "San Francisco" sourdough), it gets a little tougher because no matter what you start with, in a couple of weeks the wild yeasts in your location will overwhelm the colony you began with, and you will end up with what you would have had if you'd started it from scratch.

Then there is the problem of remembering to feed the culture regularly. Yeah you can bring back a mostly dead culture, but in my experience, it is always dead when you want to use it on bread making day. Unless you bake every or every other day, it seems to be too much hassle for what it is worth (at least for once a week bakers like me).

A good loaf of sourdough is a delight, but much harder to replicate in practice than many would have you believe.
