The *Healthy* Baker?

Looking at photos from some family celebrations over the past few weekends has me thinking that it’s time to modify my diet and exercise plan to lose about 20lbs – to be more “healthy,” of course.

I realize that committing to a diet is going to put a real damper on one of my greatest passions in life – baking. But before I pick up the phone and call Jenny, I’ve decided to embark on a mission to create and / or find healthy recipes for some of my favorite sweet treats that actually taste GOOD.

This is where you, dear TRB readers, come in…

Send me your gluten-free, dairy-free, butter substitute laden recipes, and I’ll pick one to test and recommend on TRB. Here’s the catch – I do not bake with artificial sweeteners – aka, Splenda, Equal, etc. (Stevia, fruit juices and other natural substitutes are acceptable, though).

Are you up for the challenge? Send your submissions to: therescuebaker@gmail.com 

Good luck!
