How to make recipes healthier!

♥ From my book; What should I feed my baby?

♥ When you are baking it is very easy to tweak recipes here and there just a little to make them much healthier for you and your loved ones. When you use quality ingredients they will only get better I promise you. I do this all the time.

Here are some guidelines to help you out:

For cakes:

1 cup wheat = 1 cup organic fine spelt
1 cup wheat = ¾ cup organic fine spelt and ¼ cup grounded almonds, desiccated coconut or buckwheat for example.

For breads:

1 cup whole wheat or wheat = 1 cup organic whole spelt
1 cup whole wheat or wheat = ¾ cup organic whole spelt and ¼ cup grounded almonds, nuts or seeds or leftover almond (nut/seed) pulp, desiccated coconut, oatmeal or buckwheat for example.

Cakes:
