Modified Chocolate Brownies

Well, I thought I needed to bake these brownies from this recipe but no it was straight into the fridge ready to eat.

Then again I had uncooked cashew nuts....so better be safe and bake them slightly

Turned out amazingly moist and hits the spot with all the nutty ingredients, packed intensely with wonderful energy and healthy 'fats'

Thanks Kim though! For the instant simple recipe, using initially only just 4 ingredients.

Makes roughly 12 pieces from an 8" square baking tray

Chicken Cordon Bleu

Felt like making it and cooking dinner for the family as a favour. I actually based my ingredients and steps around this recipe and a video clip but I ended up tweaking it more on my own. And I made too much for my family haha. 3 chicken breasts is enough as it was very filling.

Anyway didn't manage to take a decent photo just coz I was a little shy doing it in front of the in laws but here is the ingredients and method. I would have tried the white wine next time as it would bring sauce to the dish and mom in law's clever idea of combining cauliflower to the dish adds balance of vegetables for dinner.

Carrot cake GFDF

With cashew base icing! Should have added more lemon juice to make it like a cream cheese frosting.

Tastes a little dense just coz I replaced tapioca flour with rice and it's almond meal that dominates the mix. Just hope my kid likes it else ill be eating it all.

It's got sultanas and cranberries too instead of walnuts just coz I think there is enough nuts with the almond meal...

All of my gluten and dairy free recipe so far are taken from Chloe Moir nutrition. She just makes it easy to make with a quick video clip less than 2 minutes long. Suitable for mothers on the go like me.

See below for recipe. Makes a 9" cake. Original recipe from here

Gluten Free flour substitutions

Thought I'd pen this down as a quick reference. My sister introduced her version of Avocado chocolate cake and it was delish! She used brown rice flour instead of coconut flour and it works much better as it's less coconut taste and crumbly.

Anyway, the link to the snippets below are from here.

Feel free to explore the alternatives :)

Mini Lemon Cheesecake

But there is no cheese~!

 

My first ever virgin gluten and dairy free cheesecake. Tastes pretty good but I think the lemon does hide alot of the bigger flavours...

 

   

The only thing different I did was to use cranberries instead of dates for the base so it looks abit more redder than usual.

Tastes pretty amazing but there is a strong coconut flavour in general. I was trying to get my kid to try it but it's not his thing. Either that I gave it to him when he is too full. Oh well, it's for me to have heh.

Sweet Potato Chocolate Cake

Baking has become 'cooking' for me in the sense that these days I don't bother with measuring cups or spoons haha. I've become those chef on tv where they just sprinkle using their fingers over the ingredients.

But I do must record it so that I remember and know what I did for sure and of course to share it with the others :)

 

So here it my latest 'creation' I used pinterest to try my luck to find the right recipe but alas it doesn't really work with me. If you're interested to try check out the method and ingredients.
