Dessert

I am so thankful to have found this mix and this website! The cake was good, and the frosting was ohh so chocolatey good. Little Miss can now have delicious cupcakes. The girls wanted to trick their Vevee and make a "cake" out of cupcakes. I walked out of the room while they were decorating, and well this is what we ended up with . . .

Oh so delicious

Since I just did a post on milk, here is a great recipe using "milk". Thanks to my new favorite blog

1 scoop almond butter

A sprinkle of shredded coconut

A sprinkle a chia seeds

A handful of blueberries or strawberries

A sprinkle of crushed pecans or walnuts

And topped with coconut milk

Daddy's Yum Yum Bars

We call these Daddy's Yum Yum bars. They do not last long ! Thanks Elana . . .

These hearty breakfast bars remind me of a granola bar or an omega-3 packed power bar. They're filling and tasty. Sometimes I don't have all the ingredients so I had dried apricots, so I used those instead of coconut. ( Little Miss is also allergic to coconut, so that worked out well for us) We have used all kinds of different nuts, and whatever the mix they have always been delicious!! I keep it to 3/4 cup fruit and 1 1/4 cup of nuts.

None of the nuts and seeds in this low-maintenance bar are toasted. I wanted to make something quick and easy, that could be whipped up in just a couple of minutes before popping into the oven.

Recipes

One of the biggest struggles for us, is what do you actually eat? Here is the United States our big staples are bread, milk, yogurt, and cheese. It is such a mind change to have to take these things out. Our food pyramid is based on grains and has equal parts dairy and meat as a protein, so when we have to take those out, we are almost at a lost at what to eat. I will be posting recipes that we use, try, give you reviews, things we like and well might not use again.
