Dairy Free Cake...

Many of you know, and for those of you who don't you'll soon find out that my two youngest boys have issues with dairy.  Our middle son, has never really handled it, from his very early life, when I would eat dairy products and then later nurse him he would projectile vomit...not a pretty picture.  I had to eliminate all milk by-products and soy products as those seemed to be a trigger.  When we had our third son, we quickly learned that he had the same intolerances, after many tears, I remembered that I can eat a lot of things; I just have to make them from scratch.  This is a yellow cake that I made with canola oil and rice milk instead of margarine and regular milk.  I've made it a time or two, and really enjoy it.  I used some strawberries that I had left over from a cake I made this past weekend, and then topped the cake off with a quick frosting that is made of a Milk Free/Soy Free Margarine, Rice Milk and Powered Sugar. 

Enjoy!

Allergy Friendly Cookies

Well these are not my “normal” cookies.  Actually altogether these were different, these cookies are “allergy friendly”.  I made these cookies for my son’s class, he was the “star” of the week, so all week I have tried my hardest to make different snacks for his class.  One of his classmates is allergic to both milk and eggs, so I purchased Soy Margarine and used an Egg Replacer to make these cookies.  The consistency seemed dryer than my normal cookies.  I think it maybe would have helped if I had chilled the dough before working with it, but seeing as it was 9:00 PM last night when I was making/baking these, I didn’t have a lot of extra time.  My taste-tester (my wonderful husband) reassured me that the cookies were “quite good”.  Since I choose to decorate my “normal” cookies with Royal Icing, and one of the main items in that is egg whites that wasn’t a choice, I made a quick pour frosting consisting of powdered sugar, rice milk and corn syrup.  They aren’t beautiful, but they are allergy friendly. 

 Enjoy!
