Lemon Cookies

These were delicious!!  These also came from some recipes the nutritionist gave me for my son.  You would never know there was no dairy!  I altered the recipe a little as it called for some chilling and stuff I didn't have time for but they still came out fabulous.

2 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar (plus some extra for coating)
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/4 coconut oil (heated to liquid form)
1 lemon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl beat the sugar, apple sauce, coconut oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice.  Add the dry ingredients all at once until begins to form a ball.  Roll in 1 1/2" balls and roll in a bowl of sugar.  Place on cookie sheet.

Bake about 12 minutes until lightly browned.  Cool on wire rack.  Enjoy!!

Sweet Libations: Zymurgorium Sweet Violet Gin

Last year I attended the Gin Festival at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange. Yes, it was as amazing as it sounds! A whole festival dedicated to fantastic gins from all over the world. buy Lyrica online ireland It was at the festival that I first sampled Zymurgorium’s Sweet Violet Gin and had to buy a bottle right there and then. crestor 20 mg price cvs This sweet and fragrant gin liqueur has been flavoured with Violet and it is just superb. Every time I taste it, I’m thrown back to childhood with the familiar and somewhat nostalgic taste of Parma Violets. It’s sweet and flavourful and I found it most enjoyable as a treat either before or after dinner. As it is quite sweet, I wouldn’t recommend more than one or two glasses at a time. That’s why I really enjoy it as a precursor to dinner or with desert. This gin was a definite hit with the family and our guests over the festive period and at any dinner parties we have. It was great for enterta...

Easy Vegan Banana Bread -- The Backup Plan

Today reminded me why I started this blog.  It was a frustrating day trying to prepare and get everything we needed to host our Christmas meals.  After my son's recent reaction to soy we are now having to go soy-free as well. For my baking this meant getting the Soy-Free Earth Balance 'butter' sticks, so I headed to WholeFoods. I was attempting a dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, and gluten-free pound cake for Christmas Eve to accommodate all of the allergies.  The recipe came from a blog I like and even included a video tutorial so I thought it was a sure thing.  After navigating the busy stores and checking all my labels and getting rear ended with my baby in the car we where home safe and ready to do some baking.  I had some over ripe bananas so I figured I'd whip up a quick banana bread while I had all the baking stuff out.  I got that in the oven snd then started on the pound cake.  The pound cake was going well and easy to make.  I baked it an...

Around the world in 6 gins: a gin-tasting adventure

Image
Recently, I had to buy a present for my parents, so I went with something that was perfectly aligned with their (and my) love of gin. (If you’re anything like me, you’ll just love buying a gift for ‘them’, that’s really a gift for you). Being a true ‘wegie’, and discovering the wonderful marvel that is Cup and Gin71, I decided that going back to the motherland (Glasvegas) for a gin tasting would be the perfect present and win me the much coveted title of ‘favourite child’. And thus, vouchers for Gin71’s new location, Virginia Bar, were purchased. Each session starts with an overview of juniper and gin, and is followed by the tastings of 6 different gins. On this occasion, we attended the “Gins from around the world’ theme tasting session. As Scots, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to first-rate gins, so it was a fantastic opportunity to try some gins we wouldn’t normally have tried. Find out more about the gin’s we tried (and my findings!) below: order ba...
