My Views on Baking & Baked Goods
There are some things you should know… this being a nutrition blog and all! I don’t really believe in low-fat or fat-free baking. If I’m going to eat or bake, it’s got to be the real deal! I did go through phases where I would try to cut out the fat from recipes. After many attempts, I quickly learned that I did not like the taste of low-fat or fat-free baked goods.
Baking is one of my favorite things to do. If I could do it all day I would! On this blog you will see me debut many different recipes, a lot of them will be of baked sweets. While I don’t believe in cutting out ingredients, you will often see me substitute ingredients. For example, I always bake with whole wheat pastry flour. For me, it produces the same results as all purpose flour. You may see me use regular flour in items such as pie crust… but that’s it. Another thing you will see me do is “Veganize” a recipe. In my experience, I have often found that a veganized baked good tastes even better than the regular version… especially in cakes and muffins. I don’t worry about cutting out the fat or sugar, but I will try to use natural ingredients as often as I can (depending on my budget).
You may be wondering if I’m vegetarian or vegan… the answer is no, I’m not a vegan, and this website is not about vegan food, but I am completely open to experiencing all types of food. 85% of my diet is vegetarian… it’s just the way my body naturally eats. So, that being said… stay tuned for my debut recipe creation coming soon!!

Love your take on baking! I, too, feel that–for nutritionally-sound eaters–making delicious baked goods LESS delicious defeats the whole point of generally healthy eating. It’s all about the balance

Sarah, so glad you agree! It’s all about balance

My partner and I were conversing about how we lived our lives in the past few years and life in general. I always enjoy spending moment with him through a brilliant conversation. Our teacher gave us a school assignment where we have to write a song about life in general. I’m studying Art and Music in a university in our city and I’m really thrilled to start working on the project we were assigned to do.

We were discussing in class a painting during the Renaissance period . It was a classy painting about life in general throughout those times. There were characters in the painting doing their daily routines and the painting was like a window of the past .

I was strolling at the mall when I noticed a thief dashing towards the exit carrying a bag from a young woman . I was relieved that it wasn’t me whose bag was snatched but I felt sorry for the victim. Life in general can be unexpectedly harsh for some of us.

I’m planning to set an appointment with my dentist tomorrow for a check-up since I’ve been experiencing from tooth sensitivity lately. I find it very agonizing to drink a glass of cold juice which is definitely unusual for me. I was astonished to see my officemate with really sparkling teeth yesterday. She said she visited to the dentist to have her teeth bleached. Because of her statements I’m thinking to visit my dentist next week to have dental bleaching as well.

I have a schedule with my dentist next week to have my braces removed . I am so thrilled because I have been having my braces for 2 years now. I can no longer remember how I really appear without my braces. I’m thinking to have a hair cut after visiting the dentist to have a full make over of myself. I’ll be visiting to the dentist tomorrow to go together with my grandfather. He’s having problems with his false teeth because it never stops on coming off. whenever he chews or talks it would just unexpectedly come off and he finds it very upsetting. We’re considering to have his false teeth repaired or maybe get him some new ones.

I’m elated to see that more and more people are interesting in detoxing options. I found this report that shows you a preferred way of detoxifying but most importantly what to do after the detox because you definately don’t want to go back to your old ways right after the cleanse at http://www.healthydetoxcleanser.com/
