Adapted from Colette Martin's "Learning to Bake Allergen Free" - I tried both "regular" and "doughnut hole" types and I found the smaller ones were better overall. The finished nuggets can be rolled in cinnamon sugar or glazed with your favourite mixture - you can even try filling them with jam or Nutella!
These egg free, whole grain cookies are chewy yet slightly crisp, and the perfect balance between “thin”, “flat”, “oat” and “chocolate. Chocolate rocks make a great alternative to other standard chocolate chips or candy coated chocolate, but you can of course use those too if you can’t find the rocks (avail. online: http://www.nuts.com/chocolatessweets/choco
late-rocks/).
There is NO escaping the chocolate goodness in these suckers, and it's a good thing the recipe I adapted from http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2013/02/1
3/1-xxl-death-by-chocolate-cookie/ only makes two because they're the size of your face!
My take on the classic for the kids at school! Creamy noodles and chicken are mixed with a mess of veggies and topped with crushed crackers for bona fide comfort food - and it both freezes and reheats wonderfully!

colate-covered-banana-rice-krispy.html - these are a crispy, light taste of the best banana cream pie has to offer, including a creamy sweet marshmallow-pudding "glue", dried banana chips and a sumptuously sweet chocolate topping!

Though this tender, cake-like bread is gluten free, you will never notice! Since it makes two loaves, slice one after they cool completely and store it wrapped in foil in the freezer. The other one, if you keep it in an airtight container, will last about 5 days. Adapted from Cake and Commerce
Does it get any better than peanut butter, honey, bananas & chocolate? Well, how about adding oats and peanut butter cups too? Adapted from http://delightfulbitefuls.blogspot.com/201

A refreshingly tart bite of a cookie that is low-fat and only sweetened with honey. It's bright, cheery yellow colour adds a wonderful touch to any cookie platter or tea tray!
This could possibly be the BEST answer to that undying question... How do you like your coffee?? Cocoa, espresso powder and chopped up Coffee Crisp chocolate bars meld together for a perfect midday snack.
I spotted this on Tiny Morsels' blog (http://tiny-morsels.blogspot.com/) and knew I had to give it a go. Not having the erythritol or agave that she calls for, and not being able to have coconut, I swapped unsweetened almond milk, honey and brown sugar instead. Makes 6 popsicles.
Dried cranberries add a nice, tart "bite" to this low-fat, creamy tuna concoction, while the celery adds a wonderfully satisfying crunch. Excellent for school lunches on whole-wheat bread or in pitas!
Delicious and very good for those looking for a power boost. Carrots, apples and raisins team up with peanut butter for a treat! The base recipe comes from one of the most awesome cookbooks on my shelf: "The Cornbread Gospels" by Crescent Dragonwagon. I changed it up a bit to play with the proteins, sweeteners and flours used, and made a buttermilk version instead of the soy milk called for in the book.

Deep, rich coffee and cocoa cupcakes are filled with a raspberry buttercream before being frosted with white icing and topped with royal icing "eyeball" buttons and red gel decorating icing (see my recipe here for the candy buttons: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-deta
il.asp?recipe=424670). Made for a Hallowe'en bakesale.
The recipe for one of my dad's all-time favourite pudding. Sunny yellow (but not off-putting) and a blend of sweetness and flavour that puts instant mixes to shame!
A great caramel-coated apple-flavoured cookie that's perfect for fall fairs, bake sales and school snacks!
A great nutritious, vegan and high-energy snack for people on the go or kids to put in their lunchboxes!
Remember Fig Newtons? This is my adaptation of an Anna Olson adaptation of the classic cookie. I call them "grandpa's cookies" because every time I went to my grandparent's house the two of us would share a plate of them!
A sweet and fruity tender white cornbread with a raspberry ribbon through the middle!
This is a wonderfully tart lemon poppy-seed cake that has the added benefit of being mixed in the pan it’s baked in. No messy bowls to wash!
These are so easy and fun to make, they're perfect for kid's bake sales at school too.
Easy, delicious and heart healthy to boot, made with all natural butter and rich walnuts and almonds.
Creamy and slightly sweet adzuki beans, coconut milk, pomegranate juice and strawberries make a perfect summer treat. Adapted from FitSugar - cook time is freezing time.
Something I whipped up to bring a new spin to the standard "chili" on the school menu. It may be a little too spicy for the youngest palates, but serve with a glass of milk and it's all good!
My "experimental" recipe for my experiments with PureVia's Granulated sweetener... it's a vegan version of the Crisco "Ultimate Sugar Cookie" that I made with Ener-G egg replacer and coconut milk and jazzed up with a pinch of nutmeg. Gotta say, I liked making this 100% sugar free dough a whole lot more than the sugar-filled one - it came together easier and baked flatter without spreading!
But how did they taste compared to the original? Stay tuned to yummysmells.blogspot.com to find out!
I wanted to make the toddlers at school something pink in honour of Valentine's Day, since the older kids were getting a taste of my Red Velvet Popcorn. Leftover sushi/sticky rice, a mix of stevia and sugar, whole milk and a few beaten eggs cooked together into a creamy mix that got a punch of colour, flavour and nutrition from frozen raspberries!
Adapted from www.momstestkitchen.com/2012/12/hot-cocoa-
cookies.html, these babies have bittersweet chocolate chips, fudge sundae sauce, hot chocolate mix and chocolate extract in addition to flavourful coconut oil and mini marshmallows
I've become somewhat infamous for these cookies by now - I wish I could take the credit for the original recipe (from AllRecipes), but with my modifications I can lay claim to these!
