Gluten Free Love

A I was perusing Penterist, I came across these cute heart shaped mini cakes so I decided to put a gluten free twist on them and enjoy sweets like the rest of mankind.

1 box of Betty Crocker Gluten Free cake mix (white)
Cool Whip
Butter Cream Frosting
1 stick softened butter
1 1/2 cups Confectioner's Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
2 tbls Almond Milk

Follow the directions on the cake mix box. Add red food coloring to your desired color. Divide cake mix in 2 9x11 pans and bake 350 degrees until center is set. It only takes about 10 minutes to cook.

Let cool. Use a heart cookie cutter and place on parchment paper. Frost, stack and sprinkle with fun.

I used Cool Whip on some of the mini cakes for my Dairy Free lifestyle and the Butter Cream frosting for the rest of my family.

I just had to take a picture of these "sweet hearts" with my tea set as a backdrop.
Enjoy!

Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Chips

Ok, if you know me you know I don't measure ingredients, I just go by taste. So I will try my best to give details on this.

For the fruit salsa:

1/2 green apple
Strawberries
1/2 Pear
All cubed.
I used more strawberries because I like them. Try whatever fruit you like or have on hand.
I think I will try blueberries and pineapples next time.

Mix:
olive oil(about 1/3 cup)
juice from 1/2 lime
fresh or dried cilantro ( fresh is more flavorful)
salt, pepper and poppy seeds
Toss all and add to your desired taste

For the chips I bought:
Target, Archer Farms Cinnamon & Sugar White Corn Tortilla Chips

Hope you enjoy!

Detox Smoothie

I found this on Pinterest and made it this morning with a few variations.

I substituted Arugula for the baby spinach, used a fresh banana, and instead of orange juice, I put a scoop of frozen orange juice concentrate and about 3/4 cup of water. It worked out well.
