Allergy Friendly Cake

So I have to admit, I struggle with Laela'a allergies when it comes to thinking of new and exciting things to cook! I was looking online for a cake that I could make that would be nut free, egg free and dairy free... AND I found one!

SO! Today Carly & Ashton, Jessie & Grace, Jackie & Caleb came over for hot chocolates and I decided to make the cake for morning tea, so yes they were to be my guinea pigs for taste testing the cake!

I must admit, I didn't have high hopes for this cake but it was a hit!! Very moist! The girls said that you wouldn't even be able to tell that it was allergy friendly. I topped the cake with icing sugar and raspberries. Mmm mm! I think I may have found Laela's birthday cake :)

First Mothers Day

What a perfect Day!

First of all, Laela gave me the best present by sleeping through the whole night! woop woop! Then she came and had cuddles with Mum before she gave me all my goodies!!

Starting with a note that she had imprinted with her feet! Now, when looking at the note, it looks like blood... but not to worry - it is tomato paste. Yes! Dad dipped Laela's feet in tomato paste and then stamped them on her note... so thoughtful! ha ha

I also got some flowers, some cookies, breakfast in bed and some other goodies :) Very spoilt!

White Choc Raspberry Cake

So for Mothers Day I decided to bake a cake for my Mother In Law (M.I.L). Laela wanted to help! So she got out the pot and wooden spoon that I needed to melt the chocolate in and started eating the spoon. But because of Laela's allergies that is as much as she could help with. This recipe pretty much involves everything she is allergic too!

And here is my creation people... I was so proud!

People tell me that it tasted pretty yum! But most importantly M.I.L enjoyed it! I have the recipe if you want it :)

Sausages Anyone?

So at 11pm last night I wanted a sausage in bread with tomato sauce and onions. So there I was cooking my almost midnight snack and of course Jeremy smelt my superb cookning (ha!) and wanted some too! Once all was cooked we jumped into bed and ate!

Mmm... sausage!
