Hey Loves!

I'm back again with another labour of love! For my Mister's birthday I wanted to bake him his FAVOURITE cake, Strawberry Short Cake. As a surprise I wanted to make him a healthy rendition.

I did some research online and looked at a couple of vanilla cake recipes. Once I got a feel for the ingredients I was able to make some substitutions and came up with my own healthy rendition.

On my first attempt at baking the cake base I got a thumbs up from my mother, which is rare mind you.To this day she still raves about it. I still felt the recipe needed some tweaking. I wanted it to be a bit more moist.

I was quite pleased with how it turned out after making some adjustments!

My boyfriend was AMAZED and blown away.

I will share both recipes below. Feel free to try them both out. I would love to get some feed back from you guys. I might just omit the oatmeal flour and use 2 cups of coconut flour on my next attempt. Also I would love to try and use coconut butter, just have to try and get my hands on some!

I hope you guys like this recipe. If you want to make A strawberry short cake all you've got to do is get some low fat whipped cream and strawberries for your filling. For the icing I mixed together 1 package of light cream cheese and light whipped cream. I added the whipped cream until I got the consistency I wanted for my frosting.

Now please keep in mind, the vanilla cake is a healthy rendition to your traditional vanilla cake BUT in no way shape or form is my cream cheese icing and layers of whipped cream "healthy". Lol I will work on creams and icing in the future!

Enjoy My Loves

Hey Loves!

I'm back again with something sweet. :)

 Just for the record you guys I always want chocolate. I have a little chocolate monster that lives inside of me and he NEVER shuts up.

 I feel like everyday is a new challenge. Every night when I go to bed, if its been a chocolate free day I feel like Super Mario when he rescues the princess! VICTORY IS MINE! (Cue in Stewie fist pump)

But seriously, this ins't your normal PMS chocolate cravings. This is just all day everyday get in my belly chocolate cravings. lol With that being said My egg white crepes definitely help keep my chocolate (sugar cravings lets be honest) monster satisfied.

This is a very simple and delicious recipe. You can add to it or keep it simple.

Here's what you will need

1/2 - 3/4 Cup of egg whites. (Depends on how much protein your diet requires.)
1 Tsp of Vanilla
1 Tbsp Peanut Butter
1 Tbsp of Jam

Step 1) Mix egg whites and vanilla extract together in a bowl.
Step 2) Pour egg white mixture on a well heated non stick frying pan.
Step 3) Cook both sides evenly. Remove onto a plate when done.
Step 4) Spread peanut butter and jam on your "crepe"
Step 5) Roll is up and ENJOY :)

This is a fun recipe to play around with. You can use maple extract instead of vanilla for a different flavour. You can try some nutella and strawberries as your filling. Also a crepe inspired parfait with yogurt, fresh fruit and granola. Mmmm mmmm GOOD!
