Still going strong on my Whole 10, other than a few 'modifications' I've allowed myself. I'm allowing honey when it's an ingredient in an otherwise-approved recipe. And I made myself a pudding with unsweetened cocoa powder, which is technically against the rules because it's a dessert, but doesn't violate any food restrictions. I'm having fun with it this time, because 10 days feels so much more attainable to me.
This afternoon I made another sweet treat that I think my boys will like and it gives me a little indulgence without breaking too many rules. It reminded me that I should share a couple of these easy, quick and reasonably healthy "cookie" recipes that I've been making regularly for my food-allergy-no-cookies-allowed boys.
The first is not Paleo, but it is allergy friendly. We call these "special Tucker cookies" because they're the only cookies he can have. So very simple and perfect for a little one who wants to help in the kitchen.

Two ingredients! Could not be simpler. I usually add in cinnamon, vanilla and chocolate chips. Love that she gives lots of ideas for mix-ins.
The other is Paleo and vegan, which is a must for our milk and egg allergies. I will tell ya - that is the hardest thing about our diet. We don't fit into a nice box. We're Paleo, but we can't have nuts. We're vegan, but we eat meat. Sheesh!

Anyway, cheers to another day of whole foods with a few rules bent for good measure!
