I constantly get emails from readers and I really enjoy having conversations with people who need help and find balance with a life changing diet. Just last month I was exchanging emails with a parent whose 9 year old daughter is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and celiac disease. Both are auto immune diseases and both involve food intolerances that require constant vigilance. I sympathize with this parent and can imagine the challenges she faces every single day trying to make sure it’s safe for her daughter to eat outside the house. Her email prompted me to put together this post as I thought there may be many other parents seeking the same information.
I have this oats and peanut butter balls recipe that I am making from about a year. I love it as it keeps you energized and satisfied for hours, where a sugary treat might perk you quickly, but make you crash back down just as fast.
Kid Friendly
Homemade Granola (With Maple Syrup Or Date Paste)
Healthy, crunchy, and chewy granola. It makes a great energy boosting breakfast, healthy option for snack and a good dessert accompaniment, sprinkled over yogurt, ice cream or warm bubbly fruit crisp. This recipe for granola is super easy, cheap and also allows you to control the sugar and add the ingredients that you like and avoid that you don’t.

A simple dark chocolate sponge cake filled with white chocolate raspberry ice-cream. A spectacular make-ahead summer dessert that will appeal to adults and kids alike.
Moist Lemon Pound Cake
I couldn’t wait to share this lemon pound cake recipe, after reading wonderful spring recipes on the food blogosphere. This cake is delicious with a perfect moist and delicate crumb and a good lemon flavor. It travels well and freezes well. Hope you’ll enjoy!
Chicken, Beans & Quinoa Casserole
I am not a person who makes casserole on a regular basis, but I do so when I want a change of pace in winter months.
It started at the weekend when I had a good friend over the lunch and then, as I had prepared too much quinoa and had leftover chicken, I made this chicken quinoa casserole with mexican flavors.
Linzer Cookies
I love giving and getting homemade food for gifts. And this love made me participate in an online cookie swap arranged by Foodies+. The partners were randomly paired based on country or location wished by participants. There were only two entries from Canada so I was paired with Sally Weatherly of Vancouver. Since we lived on a 40-50 min drive from each other I dared to to ask Sally if she was interested in meeting in person. She thought it was an excellent suggestion and then we started materializing our plan by exchanging emails, choosing the day, time and location for the cookie exchange. It was a thrilling experience meeting someone face to face from a different background who I solely met through foodies community.
Gobhi Paratha
Paratha is a popular breakfast food in North India, especially Punjabi household. I remember those days in India when I used to eat paratha every other day with malai (cream collected from boiled milk) or churned butter. Now with change in lifestyle and dietary habit I don’t eat paratha on regular basis but whenever I do, I enjoy with whipped butter.
Since paratha is usually stuffed with some kind of vegetable filing, it is best suited for the start of the day, preferably a lazy Sunday brunch, when you have no time to cook separate breakfast and lunch. It is generally served with just pickle, butter and yogurt, but it goes well with any spiced curry.Can anyone guess what curry have I served with gobhi paratha?
