My kids love to cook… Mama doesn’t always like the mess and I often think, “I can do this so much faster by myself“. That said, I’m trying to get better about bringing the kids into the kitchen with me. A recent fun food project we created were Natural Soda (pop) cupcakes.
The resulting treats are very springy in texture, similar to a sponge cake with a light flavor from the soda choice. We use chicken eggs but go sans dairy and gluten due to Celiac and allergies.
Warning: these are not low in sugar or fat, so bake at your discretion. Soda Cupcakes:

I certaintly hope our great nation follows in their foot steps. In the meantime, I will continue making our goodies in order to avoid over-processed, chemical laden foods.
Today we made sugar cookies for Easter. We used naturally derived food colors (yellow from turmeric and orange from annatto), India Tree Nature’s colors decorating sugars and Lets Do Sprinkelz chocolate toppings.
This recipe (oh, so tasty) is gluten free, dairy free and vegan from Karen over at Only Sometimes Clever (we use an egg replacer like Ener-G or flax gel and Earth Balance shortening). I especially enjoy the combination of whole grain flours (even better if you grind them fresh!).
