We’ve been trying to be wheat free for a couple of months now. That means no Cakes, no Breads, no Pasta. That’s about almost everything we eat in this household!
Why wheat free?
I recently watched this video and somehow I got convinced. So I tried eliminating wheat from my diet and voila! No migraine. Maybe it’s just coincidence but I’m definitely feeling better without the wheat. I made a mistake of eating a delectable triple chocolate cake one day and had to deal with the headaches for the next two days. Definitely not worth it.
Anyway, just because we removed wheat doesn’t mean we can’t have cake, right? We just have to be more adventurous with our cooking / baking. There’s a lot of recipes around and I decided to try this one – Coconut Almond Cake (or Almond Coconut Cake … doesn’t matter…its the same thing! LOL)
I got the recipe from here: flour-less almond, coconut and vanilla cake.
I tweaked it a bit and added some chia seeds for extra crunch. Also, I was very generous with the almond flakes. Happy to report that everyone loved it.

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!
I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.
Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.
We would love to hear what you think! Leave us a message:
