I have been experimenting with this recipe from the Bruce Fife cookbook, Cooking with Coconut Flour for a while and finally mastered

These delicious cookies contain no gluten or dairy.

4 egg

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter melted (we use Earth Balance – Soy Free)

3/4 cup sifted coconut flour

Combine eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla, and butter and mix well.

Stir in coconut flour.  Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

Combine 2 teaspoons cinnamon and 1 tablespoon sugar on plate.

Form dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and roll in cinnamon mixture, coating thoroughly.

Place on cookie sheet 1 1/2 inches apart; flatten ball to diameter of about 2 inches.

Bake at 375 F for 15 minutes.  Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

I have found I need to pack the coconut flour before sifting or my dough is too sticky/moist.

I also end up using a lot more sugar and cinnamon to coat the cookies.

Cooking for 15 minutes will tend to produce a softer cookie.  Cooking for an additional few minutes will produce a golden brown cookie that is a little crisp.

Make in bulk and store in the freezer, and defrost as needed.

Cure Child Anxiety

Like many parents I really didn’t know how to help my child when I realized that their anxiety was stopping them from enjoying all that childhood has to offer.  Offering reassurances was no longer sufficient and I really wanted to help them.

I considered taking them to a psychologist but I was unsure how to find the right therapist.  Would the therapist be covered by insurance?  Would our child talk to the therapist?  How would we find the time to fit therapy into our already busy schedule?  How long would it take before our child would make any progress?

Being the internet sleuth that I am, I eventually stumbled across the Turnaround program.  I was so excited to find a program I could have the children use at home, when our schedule allowed.

 

What is Turnaround?

Turnaround: Turning Fear Into Freedom is a multi award-winning, evidence-based audio treatment program that teaches your child how to identify and stop anxious thoughts, calm distressing feelings, and courageously face their fears by using effective strategies (CBT) to overcome their anxiety. Your anxious child will listen to an adventure story designed to capture their attention while learning what anxiety is and how to overcome it. After each lesson, ten in all, your child will complete exercises in the Turnaround Journal that reinforce the material. Turnaround is unique because it is professional and child-centered.  

 

So far we have only listened to the first CD.  I learnt so much about my childs fears from that first session.  I’m looking forward to working on the other CDs with my children.

If you are interested in learning more about the Turnaround program you can visit http://MyAnxiousChild.com

 

The FTC requires that I inform you that I wasn’t paid for this review.  I will earn a commission from any sales generated from the Turnaround links on this blog.

THRIVE is a premium formula capsule.  There is THRIVE W for women and THRIVE M for men.

The results being reported by the limited number of people who have tried THRIVE is nothing short of amazing.  As of today there are only about 120 people who have sampled THRIVE.  These Brand Promoters earned THRIVE VIP Sample Packs for being one of the Top 20 Enrollers for the week.

K N R - “I tried Thrive W with a bit of skepticism…. I was blown away by my experience! I felt energetic, clear minded and focused. My typical muscular soreness was gone! My knee didn’t bother me and when it was time to think about eating something I felt wonderfully in control! Craved healthy choices! No pill can be a substitute for diet and exercise,but Thrive W made me feel I could take on the world!”

T M – “I have tried many “systems” & pills but nothing that compares to THRIVE.I started working out 3 weeks ago. The first week I strained my neck and had to go to the chiropactor. I was in pain, my nerves was getting the best to me since I couldnt turn my head at all. I continued to drive my school bus everyday. I won a VIP pack that same week and I was very impressed with how it made me feel. I slept better, woke up refreshed and the pain in my neck was minumum. I was blessed to have won this product and try it at a time of need. My energy level was amazing. I also lost about 4lbs. while using this and I cant wait to get some more. I am so excited about this product and love telling my story to everyone and cant wait to tell more stories as soon as you send me my next VIP PACK of THRIVE. “


B P
 - “I am so excited about finally a company that has 1 product that really works! 1 product that has helped me lose 20 lbs! What’s ALSO, with THRIVE my chronic pain in my right hip GONE, I have Incredible energy and i find my CRAVINGS to eat GONE and the biggest surprise was and is my vision has improved it has truly changed my life what i really like is the mental clarity i have instantly when i take THRIVE and the overall feeling of good health that’s why we will get flat out RICH!”

J B – “Why I LOVE my THRIVE experience ALREADY! Three years ago I was very close to death due to Obesity. I’ve tried and used EVERY product on the market in my life time and even had Gastric Bypass surgery to lose weight. I’ve used other products but was the cost was very expensive and I had to take 5 of their products to get results. With this ONE a day “miracle” Capsule called THRIVE, I not only lost 10 pounds but I felt better than when I was using ALL 5 other products! 
Did you hear me??? That’s 10 POUNDS in ONLY 8 Days, with ONE product verses 60 pounds in six MONTHS and FIVE PRODUCTS!! Plain and simple…… do the math; 10 pounds a MONTH or 10 pounds a WEEK, FIVE VERY EXPENSIVE products or ONE VERY AFFORDABLE product? Not to mention that THRIVE not only helps with weight loss but also with your pain, stress, mood, digestion, and joint support; just to name a few and that’s ALL in ONE little ALL NATURAL CAPSULE!! Which one will you choose? Thanks LV Life for giving us THRIVE!”

M O K – “ I love the product! I am a diabetic and have been fighting my eating habit for such a long time..it’s hard to walk away from alot of foods or even get on the right track of what to eat…with the THRIVE! I feel better, no hunger, and no pain in my feet…this has been a big change over in my life and hopefully help me overcome my disease…I am a number one fan, and will continue to build my team..!!!thank you LV life for giving me my life back…”

Last Halloween I wanted to make my sons experience a positive one.  It was his first Halloween without Gluten and Dairy and I new my choc-aholic would find it tough.

After much searching on the internet I found a sugar cookie recipe that I liked.   The recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free Sugar Cookie Recipe from Karen at Only Sometimes Clever.

This sugar cookie recipe is extremely versatile, in that the dough and the cookies freeze well and it’s simple to substitute different flours.  Handling of the dough once the cookies are cut is super easy, even for small hands.

I made these black cats and pumpkins to take to his class party and all the kids loved them.  I don’t think they even noticed they were gluten and dairy free.

I’m planning on making some more for this Halloween.  Does anyone have any tips for decorating?

I got our son a weighted blanket a little over a year ago.

When I was researching the different options I knew I wanted a product that was both machine washable and could go in the dryer. I also wanted a blanket that my son would like touching his skin.

He was so happy when he got to custom pick the fabrics for his blanket.

I decided on a toddler size 36 * 52 blanket in custom in a dinosaur fabric from Dream Catcher Weighted Blanket. Our blanket is used every night to help our son fall asleep and stay asleep. He also uses it during the day if he’s having trouble calming down or watching TV.

We take his blanket with us whenever we travel including on plane flights.  It comes to the orthodontist office or in the car on long road trips.  It is well made with the weight evenly distributed and constructed of cotton.

Weighted blankets are great for people with Fibromyalgia, Sensory Processing Disorder, Autism, Restless Leg Syndrome, Anxiety, ADHD and many other conditions. To see a full list of conditions and benefits of weighted blankets visit the Dream Catcher website.

Our son has grown quite a bit in the past year and loves the weight of his blanket so we are looking at getting him a new blanket. We just need to decided if we keep our current blanket or use the Dream Catcher Blanket Exchange Program.

Do you or someone you love use a weighted blanket?
