I have Chron's disease, so i avoid dairy products, acid fruit, spicy food, all kinds of fiber, most vegetables and fruit...

Sometimes i take the chance but that ruins my bowels, and after surgery where they removed part of it, i need to have vitamin supplement, which are not naturally absorbed, so, special diet requires special recipes, specially coz i'm a sucker for food and cooking ;)

 

I have a chocolate cake recipe that has no dairy and no egg in it. You could eat that one I'm sure! Actually, I'm pretty sure that recipe is in my other thread... I'll check later and post the link if it's there.

 

Yep Kelz, exactly the same here, i could have written this u wrote lol

But what the heck is peppermint oil???

Does it happen to u too not feeling like having a number 2 for a whole day but as soon as u get the key in the door u feel the urge like crazy???

Chronies invasion are more than welcome!

 

lol

 

We used to use peppermint water all the time for patient's in the hospital I worked at in Brisbane for gas and bloating. The hospital's pharmacy used to make it onsite and we always had a bottle on the ward, as it was something we were allowed to give without needing a doctor's order.

 

I presume that's the same principle as what Kelz is talking about.

OK, here's that chocolate cake recipe...

 

Australian Tablespoons are 20ml not 15ml so take that into account with your baking.

 

Chocolate Fudge Cake

1 1/2 cups self-raising flour

3 tablespoons cocoa (not the drinking stuff)

1 cup caster sugar

1 cup water

1 teaspoon imitation vanilla essence

1 tablespoon white vinegar

1/2 cup vegetable oil or applesauce

 

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Grease and flour a 20cm ring tin. Sift the first three ingredients into a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients. Whisk until smooth. Pour into tin. Bake 35-40 minutes. Cool in tin for 10 minutes then turn out of tin onto rack to cool. Ice when cold.

 

Icing

1 cup icing sugar

1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa

1 tablespoon butter or margerine

 

Mix with a little hot water and ice cake. If you make it a bit runnier it runs down the sides of the cake and looks artistic. For me that hides the fact that I can't ice cakes.

 

If you use applesauce, it's a low fat cake and still tastes really yummy, but is a lot less "fudgy" in flavour. Plus, it doesn't keep as long without the oil, but that's not usually a problem in my house:naughty:

~Cheesy Caesar Chicken Sandwich~

 

100_4267.jpg

 

Ingredients

  • 6 slices of bread (from crusty bread loaf)
  • 2 tablespoons of caesar dressing
  • 2 boneless, skinless BBQed chicken breasts (diced into thin, bite sized pieces)
  • 2 slices of jalapeno Havarti cheese

 

Instructions

  1. Toast slices of bread, in glass baking dish, in a preheated oven for a couple minutes (or until slightly golden brown). Take out of oven.
  2. Evenly spread a little caesar dressing on each slice of toasted bread.
  3. Heat up chicken peices and evenly distribute onto bread.
  4. Place a slice of Havarti cheese onto each slice of bread.
  5. Place glass dish (with now prepared sandwiches) back into preheated oven and continue toasting until Havarti cheese is melted.
  6. Take out of oven. Place on plate. Eat and enjoy!

 

Also note...

  • Watch bread when toasting in oven because you don't want it to burn.
  • Try out different breads and/ or cheeses: pumpernickel bread, mozarella cheese etc.
  • Serves 3 to 6 people. Depending on how hungry everyone is. :naughty: You can also make it for more or less people, just adjust the amount of each ingredient accordingly.

OK, banana cake recipe!!

 

Milk Chocolate Banana Cake

 

1 1/2 cups self raising flour, sifted

2 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)

2 eggs

1/2 cup caster sugar

1/2 cup milk

125 g (4oz) butter or margarine, melted

1/2 cup milk Choc bits

 

Place flour, banana, eggs, sugar and milk in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for 3 minutes.

Add the melted butter. Continue beating for a further 5 minutes. Blend in Choc bits.

Pour mixture into a greased 10cm x 20cm (4in x 8in) loaf tin. Bake in a moderate over 180degrees C for 25 to 30 minutes.

Allow to cool in tin for 5 mins. Remove from tin. Cool completely on a wire rack.

 

I'm not sure if my tin was slightly too small, but my cake needed about another 10 minutes to cook all the way through the middle. So do be sure to test it at the 25 minute mark and then test again at 30 mins and don't be afraid to leave it in a little longer if you think it needs it. Mine didn't burn.

 

I didn't ice it and it was still delicious but there is icing for it...

 

Icing

100g (3 1/2 oz) milk Choc Melts

125g (4oz) cream cheese

1 cup icing sugar

1 tspn lemon juice

2 bananas, sliced

1/2 cup toasted, shredded coconut

 

Place Choc Melts in a heat-resistant bowl over gently simmering water. Stir until melted. Remove from heat.

Beat chream cheese and icing sugar together until creamy. Blend in the melted Choc Melts and lemon juice until smooth.

Place slices of banana over the top of the cake. Spread with chocolate icing and sprinkle with the coconut.

 

I personally would leave out the sliced banana and the shredded coconut, but that's just me.
