I am an drama queen

I really thought I had tooth decay... I went to the dentist in town last Thursday, He told me loose wisdom teeth caused my mouth ache! I really convinced it was.....  I even gave up cakes! anyway, I had 2weeks till my dentist appointment , during the 2weeks, I was telling everyone(possibly, not EVERYONE...), how i HAD to give up refined sugar products...and not sure how I was guanna survive without cakes, etc. I did give up cakes. I still haven't had a piece. yes, I am gaging for a nice piece of cake. A few weeks ago @ work(old peeps house) I baked really nice lemon and almond cakes. Today, I've baked lovely rustic loaves of cakes with honey, banana, walnuts and oats(and half whole meal and half white flour). I didn't taste them. But i met up with Karen for a cuppa, and gave her slice. She demolished it real quick. So, that means...the cake was bomb!       This is what i baked a few weeks back:

  I also blushed plenty lemon syrup on top. Cake should be very lemony and moist. No-one round here makes cakes like this. Anyway, i got no regret( that's what I'd like to believe) giving up. i just need to find some other alternatives for now........So, when i got home today i baked gluten, dairy and sugar-free cookies. They turned up lot nicer than what i expected.  I made gluten free cookies before but  i wasn't quite sure how they would turn up using different flour mix. I made my own gluten free flour mix with; hemp,quinoa and handful of polenta (for crunchiness). Instead of using honey, I used organic Marple syrup. Add some dried fruits, finely chopped pecan nuts, mixed all together and baked them. First batch I made I left them in oven too long. But second batch was just right. Crunchy on out side and slightly moist inside. Cakes or cookies are best when they are moist in middle. (apart from some cookies/biscuits) 

They don't look particularly appetising, the hemp flour makes this colour. Taste nutty though. Also, hemp and quinoa are excellent source of protein. i used coconut oil. even more healthier! this is fact, my favo book says; refined vegetable oil promotes weight gain by supplying more nutritionally void calories, and lowering metabolic rate. but coconut oil/butter does the exact opposite. It is also the most stable of any known oil/butter(up to 170 degree). He also says, this fat stimulate your metabolism, help you loose weight. By using coconut oil/butter in cooking/baking therefore much healthier option. What I don't get  is that people who try to loose weight, they don't even take this fat or very good extra virgin olive oil, hemp oil, or avocado oil...etc. oh, by the way, apparently, most fat contain 9 calories per gram, but coconut oil contains 6.8 calories per gram. hooray!for calorie counters!
