I tried another grain free breakfast recipe from Elana’s Pantry this morning (she has lots of great looking recipes!). Muesli scones. Yum!!! I LOVE anything like museli/granola. And I love scones too. Put them together…and make them grain free…awesome! These are super easy to make. And they taste great. Justin and I both really like them. …
Peanut Butter Cups (grain free, dairy free, egg free, gluten free)
Yesterday I wanted a fun, easy baking project for Rebecca and me. A while back I had seen a recipe for homemade peanut butter cups on The Coconut Mama. They sounded so easy and so good. So we gave them a try yesterday. YUM!!! These are very good. Who knew it was so easy to …
Carob Brownies/Cake
I have a bunch of buttermilk to use up. And I wanted to do some baking with Rebecca yesterday. So I did a quick flip through Nourishing Traditions and found a recipe for carob brownies that sounded good. I did not plan ahead, so I didn’t soak this batch. And I used some cocoa instead …
Grain Free Breakfast Bars
I’m just starting to experiment with some alternative/grain free flours. So far I’ve only used almond flour. And only to make grain free fish sticks and salmon cakes. This morning I used it for some actual baking. I made a batch of grain free breakfast bars. I got the recipe from Elana’s Pantry. I modified it …
Sourdough Breakfast Cookies
As I try to figure out what grains I can or can’t handle I’m currently only eating wheat that is sourdough, soaked or sprouted. So I decided to try modifying my breakfast cookie recipe to make it with sourdough, sprouted wheat flour and no oats. I tried it this morning…turned out great!!!! You’d never know …
Homemade Deodorant
I’ll admit it…I sweat…a lot 😛 I’m not a big person…and I’m cold all the time. BUT I also have severe anxiety. And right now I’m pregnant. Not a great combo 😛 I haven’t used regular deodorant in a long time. I’ve been using a couple different natural deodorants for well over a year. They …
Homemade Buttercream Frosting
February through April (and soon to be May) are birthday months for us. So I’m always baking cakes. I am continually trying to make them healthier and experiment each time. My birthday is next week, so I’m using my cake as another experiment for both recipes and decorating practice for Rebecca’s cake. Yesterday I finally got …
Honey Roasted Peanuts
Back in high school and college I ate honey roasted peanuts all-the-time. Like every single day. I haven’t had them in a long time now. I know any kind of nut in a jar from the store would kill my tummy (MSG anyone?). But this week I was making some crispy peanuts. And I thought …
Cheese Crisps (gluten/grain free)
My SIL posted a recipe this week for cheese crisps. And I knew I had to try them right away! Eating gluten free/mostly grain free I miss things like crackers. These are a great substitute. I just made a very small batch last night to try them out as I was making dinner. So easy. …
Homemade Cereal Bars
One of the few packaged items I keep on hand is cereal bars. Rebecca eats them once in a great while (like maybe once every few weeks). Although we don’t eat them often, they are handy for when we’re traveling or need a really quick/no prep breakfast. They are natural/organic. But I’d still rather have …
