Rainy day baking happiness Recipe: https://justwhatweeat.com/cinnamon-rolls-gluten-free-vegan-refined-sugar-free-yeast-free/ Notes: I subbed sorghum flour for millet and used half coconut sugar half unrefined cane sugar (because I ran out of millet flour and coconut sugar). I used almond milk instead of coconut milk for the same reason. Also, use an 8x8, rather than 9x13 pan.

Post- Christmas Pancakes: Holiday Nog Edition
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I ended up with quite a bit of leftover holiday nog.

Monday Meal: Zucchini Noodles
1 cup zucchini noodles sautéed in 1tsp. grapeseed oil and 1-2 Tbs tamari sauce (gluten-free soy sauce). Allow noodles to caramelize a bit for extra flavor. (10-15 min) Serve on top of 1/2 cup cooked white rice. Delicious as a side dish or a quick lunch!

After comparing flours, I decided to go with Almond (low carb, good fiber and iron, high fat), oat, and sweet sorghum (higher carb, low fat, good fiber and iron). Compared to...… Continue reading Rainy Day Pancakes
