I really like dietary restrictions. For someone who loves food, and loves to cook, sometimes things make me sick, and I've never been able to pinpoint what or why. So I play around with dietary restrictions all the time. I'm always dairy-free, being lactose-intolerant, but I like to play around with other things. Currently, I'm sugar-free and wheat-free (for the most part). But I love making gluten-free goodies, and until Lent is over, sugar is a massive no-no for me. So I've been going crazy trying to find things I can eat, and...I've been making some pretty tasty treats that I thought I'd share.
Currently, I'm in the middle of making these two recipes:
