Doughnuts


Not any doughnuts, but gluten and dairy free ones. What about that? If you have gluten and dairy intolerance, try my recipe. If you don't, try the same recipe and replace what is written with purple in parenthesis. 

- 1 cup almond milk (1 cup whole caw milk)
- 2 eggs
- 2 and 1/2 cups all purpose gluten free flour (3 cups wheat flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon yeast
- 1 teaspoon cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil
- finally grated zest from half of lemon
- 300 grams (10 oz) xylitol

Warm the milk at 35-40 degrees Celsius (or let's say at the temperature of your skin). Dissolve the yeast in one tablespoon of milk and add the sugar. Then pour after the rest of the milk. Beat with a folk the eggs, pout over the milk. Add the olive oil and the grated zest. Add the whole gluten free flour and stir. 

Keep this dough in a warm place for 30 minutes. 

Take with your hand or with a tablespoon small pieces of dough, and fry them in hot oil in an enameled cast iron pan.

Powder with your favorite sweetener.  I used xylitol.

Best Tip to Get Picky Eaters to Eat Healthy Food

I can not believe I didn't tell you till now the most efficient and successful "recipe" for picky eaters. By "recipe", I mean how you can get them eating healthy food with pleasure.

Read very carefully and pay attention for the next rules...

1. Just eat with them, don't let them eat alone, stay near they at table, don't wash the dishes, or watch tv, or speak on the phone with someone else while they are eating.

2. It's not everything to stay with they at the table. Give them your attention, talk to they about the food you are eating, about what you did that day. Keep the tv turn off while you are eating.

3. Also very important is to eat the same food like they are eating. You should be an example for them. If you have a baby or a toddler, my advise is perfect for BLW (baby-let weaning). And never say, even whispering, that the food they are just eating, you don't like or you wouldn't eat.

4. Don't be discouraged if they seemed not to do like you, for the moment. This kind of education takes time. Have all the patience in the world and one day when you won't expect it, you will be surprised to see the results!

Chicken Schnitzel


Gluten free and oil free! What can be more amazing and more healthful for your kids? Gluten free - because we used corn flakes. And oil free, because we baked the schnitzels in oven, we didn't fry them in oil. 

And do you know what is really amazing for me? Last evening when I cooked this meal, my son said: "Mmmm!... It's the most wonderful thing I've even eaten!"

How can you prepare this amazing healthy schnitzel? Smash by hand the corn flakes into a kitchen towel, until you get the desired size of the crumbs. If you do it by a mixer, you will get too tinny pieces of crumbs, almost like a dust. And you don't want that.



Beat one free range egg and mix it with Provensal Seasoning and Himalayan pink salt iodine free. I used only one egg for the entirely amount of chicken breast you can see in the oven in the end. It was a large egg.


Press the pieces of chicken breast in beaten eggs on both sides and lay them down in the tray on parchment paper. And baked them in the preheated oven at 170 degrees Celsius for 20 - 30 minutes. After 15 minutes I suggest you to open the oven and turn the schnitzels on the over side.
