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. page 17
