Any ideas please on what I can make for someone who loves cakes, cookies and very sweet desserts like banofie pie and the like.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2002 Report Share Posted January 13, 2002 Tracy, Starting is always the hardest part! I would start by making there favorite goodies and food, just use whole wheat flour and natural sweeteners. Keep things as much the same as possible, not going all out at once, work into it gradually. 1/2 white 1/2 wheat for a month or so, adding less and less refined as your children adapt to the new taste and textures. Last Friday we made desert pizza, make sugar cookies with whole wheat and natural sugars(when using honey I add more flour for consistency) spread out in pizza pan, top with unsweetened coconut, chopped walnuts, and grain sweetened chocolate chips. bake till done, it looks and smells completely bad for you, may not have a whole lot of nutrition in it, but it is not bad for you either! With sweets and goodies I do not always go for nutrition I am aiming at not hurting. One thing that is a must, do not tell them it good for them when you start!! LOL We do have goodies that are " good for you " but once a week or so we just go for something that is only to satisfy the naughty side. What helped our family the most was me not buying refined things, and smiling even when I really wanted that white stuff. I can give you specific recipes, but just experimenting with what your family is already used to eating seems to be the best way.

It has inspired me as my eldest in 7yrs old. he is VERY fussy.... my middle daughter isn't so bad. If you have any hints on what to feed them that is healthy and yummy, I would love to have the recipes! They have got to like sugar too much, as I have got slack and given them foods I don't agree with. My 7 yr. old was fed only organic food till he was 2, and no sugar or any rubbish. After aged 2, he got fussy, and I resorted to foods that he would eat. I must get tough now, or all will be lost! The problem is - I cannot think of what to give them that they would eat! They are very aware of what is healthy and what is not, but still prefer to eat junk! It's very frustrating. I must admit they are healthier than a lot of their peers - in part due to the fact I didn't vaccinate them. I believe it makes the world of difference to their general health.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2002 Report Share Posted January 14, 2002 Spelt flour is better if you have intolerance's to wheat. I am afraid that whole-wheat upsets me, so Spelt is more of an answer for me than whole-wheat. It is working for someone else I know as well, who blood type O as well, and cannot have wheat.
