"Hey Kelly, Your Almond Muffins really are the BEST ever. If the whole world knew what they were missing out on, I predict they would go insanely crazy on trying to get their hands on a copy of your cookbook. We started with 10 in our store on Monday. We have 1 left!! I think I will live off of vanilla pudding and almond muffins for the rest of my life!" —Courtney Holden, owner of Benefit Your Life

Adopt a Gluten-free Blogger





I'm really excited to participate in Adopt a Gluten-free Blogger, by Sea at the Book of Yum.  I chose a holiday recipe from Jeena at Jeenas Kitchen. Jeena calls it Christmas Cake. I only had to make two small changes to the recipe. I used 8 chopped dry prunes since I don't think we have canned prunes in the US (at least not that I know of) and I omitted the white powdered sugar, since I don't use it. 

This cake reminded me a lot of fruit cake due to all of the dried fruit, only I liked it more than most fruit cakes I've tried. It also reminded me a lot of pie because it was so moist and chewy, as you can tell by the last two pictures. I am going to try her Onion Bhaji and Mango & Coconut Cake next. 

Cheers, Kelly

A little update on this recipe: My 4 and 6 year olds had it for breakfast, as did I, and it was even better after sitting in the fridge over night! We all loved it! Yum!
