Stuck at home means lots of baking!!

So, Fletcher has hand, foot and mouth disease... and as it's now day 8 and he's still got blisters, I'd say he has it pretty badly.

This means two things; 1 - we're stuck at home as we cannot socialise or be near other children and 2 - we've had time to bake!!!

Experimenting with paleo is harder than I thought, and the taste is strange and unusual! As someone who's dealt with GF flour for five years now, using coconut flour and almond meal CONSTANTLY is just strange.

For those who haven't tried paleo before, things just don't taste the same. You know how if you get a good GF recipe people cannot tell that what they're eating is gluten free? I once fooled my entire family and friends when I baked Christmas dinner gluten free!! Well, paleo is not like that. It DOES taste different, a LOT different. More earthy, more nutty and if I'm honest so much less interesting!! But, I know it's good for me, so I persevere!

Today's baking menu:

- Apricot Balls
- Sweet Potato Bread
- Banana Muffins
- Rice Salad.

I'll post them all separately for ease of finding them.

And I hope I haven't scared you off, they're not baaaaad, in fact most are lovely but some (Sweet Potato Bread!) are an acquired taste, and I haven't acquired it yet!!
