Baking with Ryleigh - Dairy Free Chocolate Cake

Last week while I was holding down the fort solo, I tried to keep as busy as possible...with low key activities. Ryleigh really enjoys baking and does a great job...a.k.a....this is not a stressful activity for me... Also, since I still cannot have Dairy due to Braeden's milk protein allergy...I was totally in the mood for some chocolate.... Anyway....while Braeden took a nap, Ryleigh and I spent some quality time in the kitchen :

Ryleigh stirring some Flour...

Pouring in some oil and water...

The finished cake...I let Ryleigh pick out which cake pan she wanted to put it in :)

Baking with Ryleigh - Zucchini Bread

I recently had to remove all dairy and soy from my diet due to Braeden's possible sensitivity to my milk proteins. So as you can imagine, meal planning has become somewhat challenging....apparently soy appears in 90% of manufactured foods in some form or another....and I miss cheese...anyways Zucchini bread contains ingredients that I can actually eat...and Ryleigh likes to eat it in the form of mini muffins for breakfast...

While we were waiting for the bread to come out of the oven, Ryleigh and I played some games (Duck Duck 1-2-3 & Candy Land) to practice our counting and matching skills. Ryleigh won...

Ryleigh with Duck Duck 1-2-3... she really likes collecting the ducks!!!
