My handsome Grandpa Joe has gone home.  In his final years he battled dementia, and I have a lot of peace that his "mind" is restored and perfect.  Until we see each other again .... ♥️💔

@aadofficial New Years Party was a huge success. Every time I get to spend time with these kiddos I'm reminded of just how amazing they all are.  They always love on and play with Nora Dove, they cheer each other on like no other hype team, and I heard more "yes ma'ams" and "no ma'ams" than I could count.  Good raisin'.

🎄 Christmas Tree Kitchen Towels 🎄
Do you like giving or receiving handmade gifts? 🖐️ What's the best one you've received? 
This is such a fun way to give a handmade thoughtful gift that will actually be useful! 
Set of white flour sack towels
Fabric paint
Assorted paint brushes
Fun stamps to represent the stump and tops of the tree
Hands and fingers!!
These are so easy and the kids loved doing it.  As you can see from the mess at the beginning it took me a few iterations to figure out what looked best (and lots of texting back and forth with my bestie who is a far better crafter than I'll ever be🤣) if you want to make your own design, try it out on paper first until you get something you love lol. The towels and paints are from Amazon (will link them in bio) and the stamps, paint trays, and brushes are from Michaels. Most of all have fun with it! Let me know if you try it.  If you message me I can send you direct links to the supplies!

🔊👆 Y'all ... so this was surreal. @joshshilling wrote and sang the opening theme for this new true crime show on @oxygen and watching it live and hearing his music not only opening but also in the background all over this show was something else all together. So so so proud of him.

The girls had so much at a birthday party at @paintingwithatwist that I just had to look and see if they had more ways we could come in and paint, and they do!! They all have hours where you can "pop in and paint" and the girls can't wait to go back. Nora Dove we've found just adores painting and is actually quite good at it!  Special thanks to the ladies at the Hendersonville Painting With A Twist for finding a project that was age-appropriate for Nora Dove while Bella Kate painted a sloth with the big girls. We'll be back soon! Wouldn't that make a great Christmas gift for the grandparents? Having the girls go in there and paint them something?

Took the girls with me to vote today in Tennessee.  We had about 30 minutes in line for a nice civics lesson and then they watched me vote with little added explanations from me on each page about the different things we vote for.  The best education in my opinion is the one they get from us as their parents in real life situations like this.  I made sure to explain that our local elections make a huge difference and the importance of being educated on everything on the ballot before heading to the polls (we also voted on 4 potential amendments to our state constitution). They thought it was so cool to see this side of our government process in action ... And to get STICKERS at the end 🤣🫣

When your husband wears the beaded bracelet your daughter made him for a show at The Mother Church (@theryman). I cannot. ♥️♥️♥️ I took this video while the girls watched from the edge of the stage.  They were so inspired and loved all of the music (@carlypearce), but were not as impressed as I expected 🤣 he's "just dada" after all.

The Best Vegan Gingerbread Cookies

best vegan gingerbread cookies ingredients

I’ve known this event was coming since. The first graders at Bella Kate’s school have a huge gingerbread cookie baking event every December. Guess what’s in a normal gingerbread recipe…. yep… eggs. Well, I wasn’t about to risk eggs in the classroom with BK and neither was her teacher. SO I’ve been trying to get good, easy gingerbread cookies to work that are vegan. There are a lot of egg substitutes to help you make your vegan baking dreams come true. Apple sauce, pumpkin puree, flax eggs to name a few and I have tried them all with varied success and depending on the application (cake, bread, cookie, etc.). Thankfully, I have found that Bob’s Red Mill makes an egg replacer that is simply amazing. I get it at Target! So there are no tricks for this recipe. Just egg replacer and I couldn’t be happier because they turned out PERFECTLY chewy. I tried them two nights before the big gingerbread cookie event and then went into the school to help everyone adapt their recipes and had my own group of kids. It was SO MUCH FUN and we were able to still have the normal gingerbread activity that they were all looking forward to AND keep it safe. Christmas gingerbread sugar rush win win.

Testing Out Our Recipe!

So a few things, I recommend mixing this dough by hand instead of using a mixer. Use a fork to mix together the two different sugars and then cream the sugars by hand with a fork cutting the Crisco into the sugar. Then I would switch to a rubber spatula and eventually your hands to mix in the flour.

  • rolled out gingerbread cookie dough
  • unbaked vegan gingerbread cookies on prepared sheets

Once everything is mixed together, flour your surface well. Don’t be afraid to do this. Baking is messy after all. I switched to a thin metal spatula at this point to get the cut gingerbread cookies off of the counter and onto the sheets. I ALWAYS bake with parchment paper. It’s just the best especially for cookies. I found that the first set of gingerbread cookies I cut out which were wetter because I hadn’t added more flour to my surface and rerolled the leftover dough puffed up more (naturally because of more steam) and cracked some in the center. They turned out perfectly fine after they cooled but the ones that were a little drier cracked less so something to consider. When cutting your vegan gingerbread cookies with the cookies cutter wiggle it a little before picking it up, they’ll come out great every time!

Don’t forget to re-roll the leftovers to get every last cookie possible! We ended up with 16!

Vegan Gingerbread Cookie Baking At School

I had so much fun at school with my little group of girls. I loved going from table to table helping the other moms get their gingerbread cookie dough just right, too. This was such a fun event and a great way to reinforce the meaning of fractions when the kids are getting and measuring the ingredients! They’re having fun and learning.

Total Time 45 mins
Course Breakfast, Dessert, Snack
Servings 16 cookies

Equipment

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Small bowl
  • Set of measuring cups
  • Set of measuring spoons
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking sheets
  • Rolling Pin
  • Cookie cutters
  • Rubber spatula
  • Metal spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1 tbsp Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • Pinch allspice
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup separate all purpose flour (as needed)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cut parchment paper to the size of your cookie sheet(s) and place on the sheets.
  • Mix 1/4 cup brown and 1/4 cup white sugar in mixing bowl.
  • Mix 1/4 cup shortening into the sugar. Cut in using a fork to make it easier.
  • In small bowl, Mix 1 tbps Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer with 2 tbsp water. Mix well and let site about 1-2 minutes until it thickens some and becomes gooey like an egg.
  • Add "egg" to mixing bowl and combine well with sugars and shortening until no lumps are left
  • In 1/4 measuring cup combine 1/4 tsp baking soda and 1/4 cup molasses. Add mixture to mixing bowl and combine.
  • Add spices: 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp cloves, pinch allspice. Mix.
  • Add 1 cup flour and use spatula to combine.
  • Measure out 1 more cup of flour. Add small amounts (probably 1-2 tbsp at a time) of flour until your dough forms a nice dough ball that isn't too sticky to roll out. If it gets too dry, add water 1 tbsp at a time and mix in until it forms a ball again. I ended up adding very little of the second cup of flour.
  • Once you have the right consistency, flour your surface (I use my counter), and roll the dough out with your rolling pin. The thickness will be to your taste but I'd guess ours was 1/4 inch thick.
  • Using your favorite cookie cutter(s) cut out the cookies. TIP: Once you place the cutter on the dough and push down, before you lift it up wiggle it a little. This will separate the sides and make it much easier to get up with the metal spatula.
  • Using your metal spatula, pick up cut cookies and place on parchment lined sheets about an inch apart to allow for spread. They don't spread too much.
  • Reform the leftovers into a ball and re-roll. Cut more cookies! Repeat this until you have no more dough left.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes (10 if you want them chewier, 12 if you want them crispier)
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

Notes

Now, when we did this at school with the rest of the kids, they all decorated their cookies BEFORE we baked them.  And all of them turned out great, even the ones that put so many toppings on the cookies you could barely see them anymore LOL A lot of people decorate after they’re cooled. When we decorated in the classroom we used gumdrops, many different kinds of sprinkles, mini chocolate chips (Enjoy Life are vegan), whatever will fit! 
Keyword baking, christmas, cookies, vegan

These lasted 2 days in our house. 16 cookies, just gone. So it was great that BK ended up making more at school hahahaha. They are SO good and you can really let your kids get into decorating the trees or gingerbread people and they still cook up great.

Actual image of my gingerbread cookie dance after the first bite. So good you wouldn’t even realize they were vegan.

As always if you try these awesome perfectly chewy easy vegan gingerbread cookies please leave me a comment or shoot me a message here. I love it when you guys try recipes I adapt and share. I’m here to answer questions too!!

xoxo,

Aleah

Montessori Christmas Activity for Toddlers – Color Matching

Hi!! I am a veteran software engineer with a love of photography, motherhood, and clean food, a touring musician’s wife, and mom to 2 little ladies ages 2 and 6. Our eldest daughter has severe food allergies which lead to a lot of research and even more cooking and recipe creation/adaption and sharing. I like to shoot with my amazing Canon 5D Mark iii, bake lots of bread, and tend my plant babies and indoor garden.

Here you’ll find information about severe food allergies, allergy friendly and vegan recipes, parenting topics, educational STEM information, technology reviews, and other home and lifestyle topics.

Today is a gift, that is why it is called "the present." We will not get a second chance at today. These days with our children are few and limited. I love my career, but my job as their mother is the greatest gift I've ever been given and nothing should come before that. I was so glad we took the day off to take the kids to the @nashvillezoo during fall break.  I can't believe we've lived here 15 years and never enjoyed this zoo. Truth: I'm terrified of heights, but Josh and I both did the zipline with Bella Kate. She asked me at the end "wasn't that fun?!" and I said "I'm not sure that's what I'd consider fun." 🤣 But the truth is, if it's with her, then it's fun.

5 Things To Do With Kids in Chattanooga, TN

After our beach trip was unexpectedly cancelled we decided to take the kids last minute to Chattanooga for a quick getaway before school starts and it did not disappoint!!
Here's a list of what we did while we were there:

1) The Tennessee Aquarium (@tennesseeaquarium). We did the ticket + imax combo and the kids loved it. This was an all day event for us. We did the ocean side, then did an imax movie, and finished off with the river side. They are still doing timed entry so purchase your tickets ahead online. 
2) Ruby Falls (@rubyfallscave). The girls looooooved this. This was their first time into a cave. It was beautiful and our tour guide was full of puns 😂 and dad jokes. They are times as well so purchase your tour ahead of time online. We did a 940 tour and it wasn't a huge group. It took about 2 hours all in. 
3) Ride the Incline Railway (@ridetheincline). You only really need to allow an hour for this but it was really fun. Purchase your queue time online ahead of time for this. We did this after lunch on the day we did Ruby Falls. It was ... Steep there towards to end lol
4) Pinball Museum & Classic Arcade (@chattanoogapinballmuseum). We LOVED THIS PLACE. You pay one fee and it's all day entry and all you can play on the machines that rent for display only. They have a tag with info about each machine too. It was way way cool. The kids loved pinball the best but I think for Bella Kate Galaga was a close second and for Nora Dove it was Mrs Pac Man. 
5) Rock City (@seerockcity). Do NOT skip this. The girls loved Fat Man's Squeeze and the Fairy cave. Truth be told I thought the fairy cave was like a 1930s horror flick 🤣🤣 but it was so so fun. Leave a couple of hours for this. Wear comfy shoes and bring some water, sunscreen, a hat, etc. Make sure you make it to Lover's Leap where you have views of SEVEN states.

Save recipe for later!!
@stayinghomesawyer inspired me with her mini-waffle maker cinnamon rolls. True story: I haaaaaaate heating up my oven for ... anything but baking sourdough 🤷‍♀️ Especially not for breakfast or lunch. It's just ... Uuugh. Anyway she posted about using her mini-waffle iron to make cinnamon rolls, so fun! I decided to twist it and see if I could tackle lunch!  Dude, this is SO EASY!! The girls loved it and thought it was so fun. Perfect for grilled cheese, ham and cheese, etc etc etc. Ours are vegan and peanut free ♥️

Today is Joshie's birthday!!! And so ends the 3 months a year that he tells me how much older I am than him. 😂😍 I love that he always includes the kids when he works when he can.  He has really instilled and fostered a passion for the arts and I love it.  We love you, @joshshilling ! Happy Birthday!

This girl ... Is so excited for the 22-23 season with the AAD COMPANY!! UGH I can't handle my emotions. When I told her she made all 4 teams (contemporary, hip hop, jazz, and tap) she said after screaming at the tip top of her lungs, "Mom, I am so proud of MYSELF!" Amen, sister. You should be. She works so hard and is so freaking passionate and talented it takes my breath.  She can dance, sing, and is picking up piano faster than I ever expected.  I hope I never forget to cultivate her passions (thanks @whatwouldjennado and @crystal_og). Whatever she wants to do ... I'm down.  Gosh I love this kid and cannot believe I am so blessed to get to watch her grow, thrive, and blossom.
