Home for the holidays and it’s time to bake and eat!!! For Christmas Eve dinner, there was plenty of delicious noms. I helped my father a bit with some crème brûlée!

We also had two Brazilian desserts, torta de bolacha (a sort of Brazlian tiramisu) and bolinho de aipim (tapioca cake?).My aunt brought Jesus’s birthday cake, complete with a baby Jesus!!!

Today, I made some gluten-free, sugar-free chocolate chip cookies (recipe thanks to Babycakes NYC cookbook). I then made them into chipwiches with vanilla frosting.

me and my sister are both allergic to Gluten and we were always on a gluten-free diet ever since we were teenagers. ‘
My mother recently was diagnosed with celiac disease, and so I’ve been experimenting with gluten-free flour and other healthy alternatives (like sugar and dairy substitutes). In NYC, there’s Babycakes, a great bakery that specializes in these sort of diets. As I mentioned, they sell a very informative cookbook that my mother loves; it also helps bakers alter other recipes. Check it out: Babycakes cookbook.
