Friends,
Its been too long since I posted. In the past few months I feel neglecting this blog has been a result of me slowly easing up on my diet. Well, not easing up all the way but less serious about rotating all my foods. And having a little too much "sweet" ie. agave, palm sugar dark chocolate than I should.
Therefore, tomorrow is a new day and I'm going to start going back to being more strict. I am done with traveling for awhile, which makes a great excuse to be less stringent. Sweets should be an occasional treat and I need to eat more vegetables. So here is to a fresh start in March.
Also I need to add my latest find. While I have been making gluten-free, non-processed sugar cupcakes for a bridal shower this upcoming weekend for a friend, I landed on an amazing sugar-free frosting recipe thanks to this cookbook my mom brought home, "The "I CAN Eat!!!" Candida Recipe Book" by Canadian Jane Daniel. Her website is www.icaneatrecipebook.com. Besides this recipe, I have tried a couple so far of her vegetables dishes--they are healthy and yummy! So without further ado, the amazing frosting recipe:
Fluffy White Frosting
1 c. Xylitol (can be found at Whole Foods)
1/3 c. water
1/4 tsp Cream of Tarter
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
--over medium high heat in a saucepan, stir together xylitol, water and cream of tartar until all is dissolved and mixture is bubbly
-- in medium mixing bowl, whip the egg whites and vanilla to soft peaks. Gradually add the xylitol mixture while whipping constantly until stiff peaks form, about 7-10 minutes. This frosting must be refrigerated and will keep for a couple days.
I will try to post the cupcake recipes I use as soon as the shower is over. Maybe I'll even have a few photos and this will be my accountability to not eat too many.
