As many of you know, last April the doctors were ready to put Eliza on Zantac, which is a medicine for the tummy. In an effort to avoid this, i started trying to cook more low processed foods, with a strong emphasis on cutting out the dye. A lot of organic and homemade things started being made at the Fitch residence.
In shopping in the organic section, you will see many things that are labeled Gluten free. After some research i have concluded that although it is not mandatory for us to go strictly Gluten Free, the GF diet is a healthy one, and I would try to begin to incorporate it into our lives more.
The recipe that we are making comes from Pink Princess Cookbook by Barbara Berry. Eliza got it for a present. I think it was purchased from LTD. Most of the recipes are filled with pink/red dye, which is something that my family has to stay aware from.
Two other factors that lead to our new adventure were her Friday morning cooking classes and the movie Julie and Julia. The class was a cooking class that was offered at the Y every Friday morning. It is a fun class, but seemed to mess up our schedule, as well as most of the food was highly processed. I knew it would break her heart to not do it anymore, and i had recently watched the movie Julie and Julia, so i came up with the idea of her and i cooking our way through her cookbook, only trying to change the recipes to be more healthy. so that is what we did.
I will try to get an update on the cupcakes we made the other day still tonight.
