    So, I decided that I wanted to enjoy the holidays without a stomachache this year.  I want all the sights, sounds, lights and TASTES that remind me of Christmas and family.  I was talking with my sister and looking through her recipes, all the hand written notes and recipes that have been passed on through the years.  I wanted to write down all the originals and also make a “new recipe” for the current times.  SO many clients of mine (myself included) have dairy or gluten allergies and I know we feel left out sometimes and or then sick later if we indulge in our “old favorites”.  So, here is my first recipe that I adapted from one of my mom’s recipes.  I will also post the originals so you can learn how to make substitutions with your family favorites.

    ALL ORGANIC INGREDIENTS

    1 3/4 Cups Gluten Free Flour (I used Quinoa Flour)

    1 TBSP Gelatin

    1/4 Cup Raw Cacao

    1/4 Cup Coconut Cream

    1/3 Vanilla Almond Milk plus 1 TBSP Coconut Vinegar

    1 tsp Vanilla 

    1/2 tsp Baking Soda

    1 tsp Sea salt

    1 Cup Drained Cherries

     

    Make “Buttermilk”.

    Drain Cherries.

    Mix Wet ingredients.

    Melt Cacao with Coconut Cream, then mix in room temp Butter.

    Add Dry ingredients.

    Add Cherries.

    Refrigerate Dough

    To make Vegan Buttermilk:

    For this first round, I left out the cherries so I could make a crust instead.  The last creamy batter picture I added the cherries and made them into cookies.
