A Goody Day

I wanted to try out 2 sugar and gluten-free treats today.  I also made a French Bread that was no where near gluten-free but I did make it with agave syrup instead of sugar.

The French Bread recipe I got from here and have made it a few times in the past.  All I did was substitute 1 T and 1 t of agave syrup for the sugar and use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.  Z helped me…

Z kneading the dough.

and the whole family enjoyed the bread straight out of the oven with some butter.  Yum.

We also made the most delicious Peanut Butter Pudding – so rich and creamy.  Seriously good stuff.  The only change I made was to use plain, full fat yogurt instead of nonfat vanilla.

And the other incredible goody I made today was these truffles.  TO DIE FOR.  Seriously, just so much yum.

Now here’s my shameful secret – I made it with my food processor that I have never used but have owned for 4 1/2 years.  Please don’t tell my mother (especially since she shelled out the dough for it AND it was a gift I asked for!).  I was seriously pretty scared of the thing.  Now that I have used it, I see how foolish that that feeling was.  But it’s true.

Popping the food processor cherry.

Truffled hands.

The goody goodness.

Finding these recipes and loving them really help me mentally.  I have not been lamenting over the loss of sugar too much but just knowing I can have a wonderful dessert that I think is divine is reassuring.
