Every new year I like to try something that I haven't tried before, but something not too out of my comfort zone. This year it is Gluten Free Baking. Not that I have Celiac's Disease or anything like that. I just think it can't hurt to limit your gluten intake. I mean you don't NEED gluten in your food and G-free foods are readily available now anyways, so why not. I got this cookbook called The Bakers Guide to Allergy Free Baking. It has really opened up my eyes to all the different grains and types of flours that are out there to use. I have made 4 things so far and, honestly, all have tasted better than anything that I have made before with gluten in it. Don thought the chocolate cupcakes I made were great. He said they tasted like hostess cupcakes and he doesn't even like cake! The banana cake was also to die for. So moist and yummy. Today I tried the Buckwheat Apple Muffins and Chocolate Chip Cookies. I decided that every Tuesday would be "Baking Tuesday" and I could make a new treat for the kids for the week. Allergy free does not mean sugar free so, of course, you still need to eat in moderation. However, most recipes I found call for alot less sugar, applesauce, or light agave nectar. They were a hit, kids loved them! I will definately be making them again.
