News — Chocolate

Father’s Day is right around the corner and Kay and I are thinking of ways to make his day extra special!  We love making homemade gifts so it would definitely be something unique and not store bought!  We’ll also be making his favorite dinner, MEATBALLS!  Chris and I have been doing so well laying of the sweets and junk food but I know he loves ice cream and candy.. so for Father’s Day I’m going to make him a healthier “ice cream” for dessert.  Using our favorite frozen banana method and a chocolate candy.  

Baked Glazed Chocolate Doughnuts with fresh raw strawberry sprinkles.  Fun, delicious, and easy!

Sweet Baby is a tricky little girl to back for when it comes to those “fun” sprinkles and colors.  I actually searched for organic sprinkles and even most of them contain soy.  We really try to avoid all types of artificial ingredients in ours and her diet.  One thing we’ve noticed is she has an FPIES reaction to products that say “contains natural flavors”.   Natural flavors can be anything, and for us we have to avoid that.  Since it’s Valentine’s Day I wanted to make her an edible treat that she would love and would be semi-healthy.  I gave her a choice of cupcake or doughnut by holding up the pans, she picked the heart shaped doughnut pan from Wilton!

With Sweet Baby finally passing so many foods (just recently passed wheat, hooray!) we can enjoy more treats!  Our one hurdle is ice cream and cake.  She still hasn’t had either since she can’t have eggs and couldn’t have a flour until recently.   We actually have a powerful blender that can pulverize anything and I heard about TruMoo.  TruMoo is flavored milk that is nutritious and delicious!  I feel a little better that it contains no artificial growth hormones and also has less sugar and calories than other chocolate milks. TruMoo DOESN’T have any high fructose corn syrup either!
