Healthy Breakfast- Healthy Desserts -Gluten Free Baking – Dairy Free Baking- Chocolate Scones
My little boy Max is now 4 years old and he just LOVES to bake healthy treats with his mommy.
We talk about what we are putting into each recipe, and he often makes suggestions to “add more cinnamon,” or “another egg.” We make a mess, have a lot of fun, and together we experiment making new recipes.
The other day, Max came running down the stairs in the morning right after he woke up announcing that he wanted to bake chocolate scones for “Shoo Shoo,”…… who apparently was turning either 3…… or 5 …. , my son wasn’t exactly sure.
Although the news of Shoo Shoo’s birthday was a suprise to me, I was delighted to bake a sweet treat for him and off we went to create our chocolate scone recipe together.

Flax seed is an amazingly healthy food. Only 2 teaspoons a day can make a huge difference in your family’s health.
Flax seed is quite easy to add into to your diet. Unlike wheat germ which can leave an “after taste,” ground flax seed barely has any taste when added to foods. (If it does have a sour taste you should throw it out, as it has gone rancid.)
