I Quit Sugar Kids Cookbook Review and a Simple Caramel Recipe
I got a copy of the I Quit Sugar Kids Cookbook in the hope of getting some new ideas to feed my 3 boys and although it’s not all grain free cooking, it’s mostly gluten free, processed sugar free and junk free. My middle boy (now 6) is probably the fussiest of the three, and I don’t blame him with all the nut allergies and tummy problems he has had. I am always on the lookout for new inspiring recipes and got some new dishes to include in our meal plans now thanks to the IQS kids cookbook. I tried out a few recipes and also have a few more on the list to to try.
These are the pumpkin pikelets I made with grated apple, crushed almonds and a simple caramel sauce.

To make the simple caramel sauce:
Mix 1 heaped tsp butter melted and add 1 tbsp rice malt syrup to the warm butter, serve warm! or use maple syrup or honey to keep it Paleo friendly
The Sticky Chicken Wings were super tasty with only 4 ingredients! They were really easy to make and there is an excellent tip on how to make them deliciously fall-off-the-bone! These sticky chicken wings would be excellent on a finger food platter or birthday party menu.

- Soy Sauce / Tamari – use Coconut Aminos

My 6yo wanted to try these Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies (using buckwheat) which were also a hit and a great treat for their lunch boxes as they are nut free. I will stick to the recipe next time and use dark chocolate chips rather than cacao nibs although the kids did enjoy them with cacao nibs, they did request chocolate chips for next time and I would definitely recommend adding the extra sweetener.
