Dairy Free Cream Cheese Icing

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

One of my kiddos who loves Red Velvet Cake recently requested one for her birthday. We had to make it dairy-free… it was a little work but we succeeded. I used a boxed cake which said it was dairy-free.

I’ll try to update this with a printable recipe card later but you can print out the cream cheese icing recipe and write in the changes.

All-Purpose Baking Blend

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

As many of you know we are on a healthy eating journey and I have been scouring the web for alternatives to many of our favorite recipes. The hardest thing for me was finding a baking blend that we liked. Many of the blends were either too expensive or just didn’t have a texture that everyone seemed to like.

After a little bit of trial and error, we have found a blend that works well for us and we have been testing this out with some of the Trim Healthy Mama recipes that call for their baking blend. This recipe has worked well for us so far but if I find anything that needs to be tweaked I will update the recipe. You may want to try making a half a batch when to give it a try before making the big batch that we make here. I also found this great container to hold my big batch.
