I know. Yikes! Fresh out the oven, it wasn't too bad. Okay, it had the texture of a sponge, a really dense sponge. But butter on anything can make a vast improvement. Now all it is good for is bread crumbs. Which is great - we are having meat loaf this week and spaghetti with meatballs next week.
I did succeed in making "free" chocolate cupcakes from a GF cake mix. Phin's going to take these to his Easter party on Thursday. It's fun to send stuff that he can eat and that everyone else will enjoy too. If anyone is interested, I replaced the egg with applesauce (2 TBS for each egg) and the sour cream with soured potato milk, then cut back the water to 3/4 C. They turned out really good. Even Adam said they were good.
Phin did really well today. He was excited to eat his Cocoa Pebbles with his "special" milk. I tried to toast "the bread", but butter couldn't save it a second time. For lunch/dinner he had peanut butter sandwiches (thank you Mette for the bread) and then he enjoyed a chocolate cupcake as a treat. Tomorrow we will try "free" chicken nuggets for lunch and the meat loaf for dinner.
And although this post sounds nice and cheery, making these changes has been anything but. Adam and I were grumpy and grouchy and everything got on our nerves today. We took a walk to clear our heads (and cleaned the kitchen together) and that helped a lot. Deciding to do this now is not convenient either. We are going to relative's houses for Easter and then we have a week and a half trip to Portland. Trying to eat "free" when you are not at home is a challenge. But I really think this will help Phin. So I'll do it and enjoy it.
