Gingerbread Cake – Gluten free & Sugar free
This cake is delicious and has no unbalancing ingredients.

He readily agreed….well actually begged to be part of the 'testing process,' and even bravely suggested we try seconds and thirds 'just be be sure.' He then creatively suggested that it would be 'wise' to repeat the whole process the next day on slightly old cake. Read the rest of this entry »

Hermit Cookies – Gluten Free
As I had promised to share this recipe right away, I am posting it before I normally would. These have a dryer texture then the ones with wheat in them and I will be fine-tuning this recipe. We will post below this one the Wheat Hermits soon. Both cookies are not overly sweet which is why we like them.
Ingredients:
¾ cup vegetable fat
4 tbsp sucanat
1 tbsp molasses
¼ tsp stevia
4 tbsp soy flour
1 cup water
1 cup white rice flour
¾ cup brown rice flour
¼ cup potato flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp cloves
¾ cup walnuts
¾ cup sultanas
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
2. Combine butter, sucanat, stevia and molasses until creamy.
3. Stir in soy flour and water
4. Then mix in other flours, baking powder, salt and spices.
5. Mix in fruit and nuts.
6. Roll into 1-inch balls and flatten with a fork on a greased baking sheet.
7. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
Cinnamon is one of the oldest known spices. The darker the cinnamon the better it is.
Benefits of Cinnamon:
