Have you had Blue Corn Pancakes before? If so, let me know in the comments where you had them.🥞

[@eddyburch9437]

No I haven't. My Daddy grew blue corn on the cob, we cooked it and ate it. The kernels were harder but it was delicious.

[@marcyinspired1442]

@@eddyburch9437 That's interesting. I guess that's why it's mostly ground up and turned into corn meal or flour.

Hi Marci my name is Esther and I come from Santa Fe New Mexico. My Grandpa Eppie and My Grandma Josie Montoya owned Josie's Best Tortilla Factory in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Love your recipes

[@marcyinspired1442]

Thanks so much for watching! Coming from a family like yours, I take it as a huge compliment. 🥰

[@eddyburch9437]

The Montoya Family Thanks You

Hi I live in California and was craving some New Mexico food. I found blue corn tortillas in a store and made me some enchiladas

[@marcyinspired1442]

That’s awesome. I love enchiladas made with blue corn tortillas. I think I’ll practice making blue corn tortillas so I can share that recipe down the road.

[@eddyburch9437]

Please do

[@lynnstrosnider8410]

Just made the blue corn pancakes exactly as posted with the blueberry sauce and pine nuts. They were absolutely fantastic! I came across this channel because our family will be vacationing in Santa Fe next month and I wanted to learn more about New Mexico cuisine. Thank you Marcy, for being such a wonderful educator and sharing so much valuable information on this subject with your viewers!

[@aprilshomeandgarden]

Those pancakes look great and the fact that they’re low glycemic and have more protein makes them sound even better. I can’t wait to try these. Loved the Mary Louise Sanchez segment.

[@marcyinspired1442]

I really enjoyed all Mary Louise shared, too. Now, I want to get more blue corn in my diet. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@nanciumphres9001]

This is an informative video. Thanks for sharing!

[@marcyinspired1442]

Thanks. It’s so nice to be able to tap into Mary Louise’s expertise. She really knows her stuff. Now, I want to incorporate blue corn into more of my cooking.

[@genevafieldson4285]

Marcie I never had blue corn pancakes. But, when we were sick my mom would make us Atole, a blue corn porridge.

[@marcyinspired1442]

We had atole growing up all the time, but my mom didn't make it with blue corn meal. I bet it's so good.

[@donnamcl6134]

Nope I've never had blue corn anything...BUT....would love to try it! Nice informative video. Thanks to your guest or explaining.☺😊🥞

[@marcyinspired1442]

It’s delicious. I hope you give it a try sometime. Thanks for watching & commenting. It’s fun for me to bring in Mary Louise Sanchez. She’s a wealth of information and also a sweetheart.

[@taosjedi]

My favorite way to have blue corn is in tortillas in blue corn chicken enchiladas with red chile. They will always remind me of my grandmother. Those pancakes look so good with the pinon. I'm going to have to make them. I always go to the fruit basket too. Great job...

[@marcyinspired1442]

As soon as I get my recipe for blue corn tortillas down to where I'm confident sharing it, we'll have to share an enchilada or taco recipe using them. They're SO good! The Fruit Basket is awesome. My daughter turned me on to that place a while back, and it's great to be able to order from them online. Thanks for the comment.

[@elizabethholguin3635]

They look delicious, also the Green Enchiladas with blue tortilla, they are very delicious, Saludos desde Albuquerque!!

[@milly_cg]

Hacienda de Mesilla in Old Mesilla has amazing blue corn lobster enchiladas! So delicious.

[@ildaam.4365]

Marcy, I'm so happy I found your YT channel. I made your portuguese sweet rice recipe for Christmas. It was delicious. I am portuguese from the azores and I had never tried making sweet rice you made looked so easy THANK YOU. I'm going to try these pancakes. Have a great day.

[@marcyinspired1442]

Thank you so much! I’m happy you found this channel, too. I was so proud of myself when I made that Portuguese rice pudding because I had some big shoes to follow. My mother-in-law’s was the best.

[@brianbrain442]

The blue corn waffle at Tia B’s in Albuquerque was one of my favorites. I need to make it back out to New Mexico soon. Great episode!

[@wilmalrodriguez2341]

[@EgoEgeoNovaLocus]

[@marcyinspired1442]

Hope you like them. Thanks for watching.

[@angelinarojo3990]

I've never had blue corn pancakes before. Now knowing all the health benefits the blue cornmeal has I'm gonna need to get my hands on some.

[@marcyinspired1442]

You'll love the taste, too. Whenever I go to a restaurant that offers enchiladas or tacos with blue corn tortillas, I always order them.

[@AnaBadillo-i1s]

I’ve not had anything with blue corn but blue pancakes with blueberries will be a great introduction! Marci, thank you for your great recipes! Que Dios te bendiga!

[@Barbbeshears]

Good morning Marcy going to have to try 😊thank you from Barbara

[@marcyinspired1442]

Good morning, Barbara. They're really delicious, and good for you! I hope you do try them.

[@estellaturner4614]

I've never had blue corn anything but sure looks delicious

[@marcyinspired1442]

Blue corn is wonderful. An easy thing to try is blue corn tortilla chips, since they’re sold everywhere. But my favorite it enchiladas or tacos with blue corn tortillas.

[@AngelinaBega-e8v]

Delicious especially with the blueberry syrup I gotta try that sometime😄👍

[@cassandras206]

OMG!!! 😱 This sounds delicious! I must make these 😅!!!

[@ledzepgirlnmful]

These are very familiar to me and my family growing up. I was born and raised in Los Alamos, and have family in Santa Fe, and Albuquerque. We would have blue corn Piñon and green chile pancakes or waffles once a month. Blue corn Atole is also a comfort food. Is common for Native (Indian Pueblo nations and Navajo) as well as Hispanic New Mexicans. My family is Hispanic tracing our roots back to Spain. Blue corn, Piñon, and our Red and Green Chile, tortillas (both flour, blue corn, yellow corn, and white corn homemade tortillas, Biscochitos, etc ) is part of our Culinary Heritage. Pinto beans, zucchini with corn, green chile is also a mainstay in our cuisine and part of our culture as well. ¡ viva Nuevo Mexico !

[@eddyburch9437]

Atole. Yum yum

[@maggie2936-q1m]

Love this episode. Always interested in learning about regional food. I’ve never had blue corn pancakes, but have had blue corn chips. I’ve been to New Mexico in my younger days, but my husband has not. We’ve talked about a trip there. Would be an easy plane trip from Houston where we live. I want to give these a try. I’m thinking also a blue corn bread to go with a Mexican style stew. Wonderful episode, Marcy.

[@marcyinspired1442]

Hope you do make it out to NM. Maybe plan a trip for the Balloon Fiesta. Btw, You just gave me an idea. Blue corn bread with a green Chile stew sounds good right about now. Thanks for watching & commenting.

[@maggie2936-q1m]

@@marcyinspired1442 I’d love to see a video on green chili stew and blue corn bread. 😊❤️

I’m jealous! With this cold snap our room temperature butter is as hard as being in the fridge! (-30 to -50 below these last 2 wks and thats not with wind chill)

[@marcyinspired1442]

Oh my! I am such a wimp when it comes to the cold, I don’t think I could handle that. 🥶That’s a good excuse to stay home, make some soup, and curl up on the couch. Thanks for watching!

[@donnamcl6134]

That's COLD! Where do you live? I'm in Southern Illinois and a couple of weeks ago it was -12 and that was WITH wind chill, guess that temp feels like summer to you🤣🥶

[@jjsalt1982]

Delicious

[@estellaturner4614]

Marcy do you have a cook book?

[@marcyinspired1442]

I don’t, but I would love to publish one someday.

[@BryantKHill]

Is it ok to substitute the blue corn meal with blue corn masa harina?

[@marcyinspired1442]

I have never tried it, so I'm not sure. Let me know if you try it.

[@kathyfeliciano4679]

I wish I had access to blue corn 😢

[@marcyinspired1442]

I included information in the Description Box of where you can order it from. I highly recomment the Fruit Basket in Albuquerque.

[@juliawillie3135]

We navajos we add juniper ash so the purple turns blue and doesn't tastes bitter

[@rickbartley9255]

I make all my tortillas, pancakes, waffles, muffins, and bread using masa azule. I use only masa for 2 reasons, nutrition and taste. Corn meal typically is not nixtamalized whereas masa is. As you already know, we can’t release all of corn’s vitamins and minerals in a digestible form without nixtamalization, which our meso-American ancestors discovered thousands of years ago. Masa azule is also non-GMO, has an authentic flavor, and is readily available in stores right next to the white or yellow masa harina. It’s also ground finer than meal and incorporates well in batters. Because I’m gluten-free, for batters I use Gluten-Free flour 1/1 with the masa. There is a dangerous ignorance today in western society about GMO corn, and corn products, the requirement to fortify those corn products with additives, and how the human body reacts to them. Especially high fructose corn syrup. Our ancestors were sustained on real corn- accept nothing else in your diet. All GMO corn grown in the US is an unhealthy impostor. Even that which is in animal feed.
