Baking Gluten-Free

We documented the Blondie baking process just for the blog :) Mom and I visited a Harry's Farmer Market in Marietta today which had a plethora of gluten-free goodies including blondie mix! This dessert is something I miss most about no more wheat (and Applebees will just never be worth going to without the possibility of eating this delicacy). So, imagine my joy when I found this (AND gluten-free hamburger buns to make our veggie burger dinner complete!).

Mom will be glad to know the stand mixer is used nearly every weekend (at least).

Mixer in action. How did we ever mix without it?



Initial entry into the oven



Finished baking (turned out nicely, no?) When substituted applesauce for oil and added a few white chocolate chips to the mix.




I don't even want to tell you what's in the sauce. It made my heart hurt (probably because of blocking an artery, and in sadness at the absolute unhealthiness of this necessity to make the blondie truly good.).



Final product. It wasn't quite as good as the Applebees version, but they have had time to perfect it, right? BUT, it was still delicious and definitely worth making again.




And now, we close with a brief Moki series. This is her sphinx pose... which is what she does while I'm baking. I think she looks quite satisfied.




Moki also benefits when we get now TOMS. We're thinking about decorating the box as Moki's house. When this happens, we'll post more photos.



Duncan tried to feed Moki and a cracker last night. You see how well this went over. She's way to smart for that :)
