This is a blog about striving for holistic wellness while treating Ulcerative Colitis. While I am on medication, I am also choosing to remedy Ulcerative Colitis naturally with alternative treatments including: diet and nutritional therapies like the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) and probiotics; exercise; exploration of the mind-body connection including meditation and yoga; and alternative therapies like acupuncture and massage.

Carrot French Toast- SCD Phase 1 Friendly
This recipe is a modified version of the Carrot Pancake Recipe that can be found on TheSCDGirl blog.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups cooked, drained carrots
4 eggs
4 tspn honey
1 tspn vanilla
1/2 tspn nutmeg
1 tspn cinnamon
1/4 tsp sea salt
makes about 8 "french toast" pieces
Instructions:
Boil the carrots until they are soft enough to be cut with a butter knife while still floating in the water; drain. Try to remove as much water from the carrots as possible, then puree. Add remaining ingredients and mix. Take a spoonful of the mixture and spread it to about 4 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick on a piece of parchment paper. Microwave for 2 minutes, or until the carrot french toast sticks together in a patty. Let cool for 1-2 minutes, drizzle with honey and cinnamon if desired, and enjoy!
Other tips: Process the carrots in bulk and freeze 1 1/2 cup quantities. Then, at the beginning of the week, make the batter. Keep the batter refrigerated, and make yourself 2-3 pieces each morning. This is a great "on the go" meal that contains a lot of protein and a serving of vegetables. Not to mention it tastes just like french toast!
