Yep, definitely miss those Cinnabons (I'm also in Oz now!). Add to that I'm gluten intolerant, so I'm trying to find the best homemade recipe that works with gluten-free flour. The ones I made on the weekend were close, but not quite there yet.

Yesterday: Chobani apple and cinnamon Greek yoghurt Today: My husband gave me a challenge a few weeks ago to find a particular flavour of German ginger cookies he had once around Christmas time. Today I tried two different recipes, one with brown sugar (Gerwutzplazchen) and one with white sugar (Pfeffernusse). And we also…

Day 32: Pecan pie with the rice flour/cornmeal crust of the previous banana caramel pie and pumpkin pie are we continuing this challenge over the 30 days??? If so, I'm definitely in!

Today: just so I can post the photo ... Pumpkin pie, made with a cornmeal and rice flour crust and real pumpkin instead of tinned pumpkin puree. Not my finest creation, but still not bad, all things considered!

Honey soy marinated chicken with brown rice and veggies: Deconstructed banana caramel cream pie:

Thanks for the ideas guys! Any suggestions for making desserts (cakes, pies, etc)? We just had a Thai coconut curry and I don't really want to do something similar again so soon ..

For my day 30: Banana caramel pie deconstructed - I tried a different crust recipe that didn't quite work too well, and was too thick, so I just put all the ingredients that should have been IN the pie ON TOP OF the crust. Tasted the same ... delicious! But, I also made pecan pie and pumpkin pie out of the same crust ...…

Yep, not really stressing over it ... as can be seen by my continuing on the challenge! But will try to limit the massive over-calorie days in the future, while keeping on fitting in the yummy stuff that I still want to make!

Day 29 (or whatever I'm up to): Cranberry, marshmallow and walnut chocolate freezer cake - recipe was from Gordon Ramsay and it was kind of like a hyped-up rocky road slice. Didn't take any photos (sorry) Yeah, I know I said I would spread my weekend sweets over the next few days, but I had made this on the weekend and was…

I've only made that bread pudding once before, this weekend was the second time - I'll put the recipe on the website sometime this week, so keep checking back for it! I brought the bars into the office this morning - at 9am more than half of what I brought in were already gone! They are definitely a winner!

I should point out that cookathome.info is my website, but I wasn't trying to advertise it here on this forum (because that would be against the forum rules!). It was simply a way for me to post the photos of the stuff that I was making ... But obviously, if you like what you've seen, feel free to try out the recipes in…

All I made yesterday were stuff that didn't involve an oven ... if you're hanging out for some 'baked goods', why not a no-bake slice or a cheesecake?

Just have to post again ... Today was 5 DAYS IN A ROW!! Although I am very thankful that tomorrow starts the weekend and my legs get a rest!

I love riding alongside the highway and seeing all the cars stuck in traffic - it would take the same time for me to drive to the office as it does for me to ride, and that's including the shower at work! I tried doing my strength 3x week and cardio 2-3x week as well as riding but I just couldn't do it. Now that I'm…

Actually, no he didn't ... but I'm not going to start a ranting thread about it! I get sick of reading those ...! What I love about this challenge is that it's really focused me on being consistent with my calorie intake - I've had many instances of extreme calorie zig-zagging, lots of way over and way under-eating. For…

I know that feeling well - I get cravings for cookie dough so I'll go in the kitchen and make some cookies, eat a lot of dough, bake the rest and then never want to see the finished products again because I either feel crook physically or just never want to see them again. But I'm trying to be consistent with my calorie…

Thanks for the recipe - might try it on Saturday morning - my husband and I were just commenting that it's been a while since we had a good cinnamon roll! And thanks for the tips as well!
