being conscious of
what we eat doesn’t
mean we can’t enjoy
a nice baked good
every now and then.
I started looking for
something fun, easy
and tasty that one
could do to make fun
memories with kids.
You can imagine my
excitement when I
came across a simple
recipe for gluten free
dump cake on http://
from being tricked
into eating things as a
child that healthy food
choices and pleasure
can never go hand in
hand. I am grateful
that I was raised to
become an adult who
would choose veg-
etables consciously
on my own accord. I
remember having “just
because” celebrations
because my mother
is a holiday fanatic.
Life can be hard so
she took every oppor-
tunity to find things
to celebrate. While
reminiscing on those
celebrations, my mind
wandered to all of the
homemade goodies
my mother would
bake. Which brought
on another thought,
www.lifeaftergluten.
com. Not only was it
fun to make, it was
also tasty and I highly
recommend adding
ice cream to it. As with
all recipes, I will use
the ones from the site
until I get a high tech
camera and a pretty
display base.
