After searching high and low for a “healthy” cookie that didn’t contain any gluten or added sugar, I’ve come to realize they are few and far between. And when you do find some, they taste like cardboard or cost you a fortune. So what’s a mom to do? Put on your fanciest apron and start baking!!!
There is nothing better than tasting the fruits of your labour! I planted my first official garden this year (last year it was just herbs) and I am currently enjoying a simple yet delicious salad with mesculin lettuce right out of my garden.
Here’s a quick, easy and healthy crowd pleaser! I’ve made this perfect summer cake a few times now and people just love it. Even those that aren’t on a restricted diet enjoy this cake! The key is getting the cake nice and moist and the glaze nice and creamy. Thanks to my Aunt Marian for the original recipe.
Being gluten & dairy free certainly makes life A LOT more difficult when it comes to meal time. If you aren’t prepared or don’t have a lot of time on your hands meal planning can be really stressful. When you are a busy parent, its hard to find the time to look up new recipes that actually taste good and aren’t complicated and time consuming. Here’s a fairly quick family friendly meal that kids and parents will love. You can add any veggies you like. Next time, I might also add carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and baby spinach and will update the post it it turns out.
Eating gluten free can be tough! I’ll admit it, I desperately want to be eating yummy crusty loaves of bread, pies, cakes, beignets, banana bread – the list is pretty much endless. Anyway, I just really really wanted to enjoy something warm and yummy for breakfast and was craving muffins. Thanks to my friend Luch for sending me a recipe that inspired me to come up with this version.
I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised with how delicious and moist they were. Hope you enjoy!
For those of you not living in Toronto (the apparent centre of the universe) we are getting hammered with a ton of snow! It is really hard to believe that just yesterday it was a balmy 10 degrees Celsius (for us Canadians that’s t-shirt wearing weather eh!). This weather is more confusing than the Juan Pablo “After the Final Rose”episode last night!!
