Gluten Free Cranberry Cake


Hello Picket Fence friends! This is Angelina from JoJo & Eloise!

Well, 2013 quickly came and went, and now we are looking at the Brand New Year of 2014!
I SERIOUSLY have no clue how this has happened. I still remember the EVE of the year 2000, like it was yesterday. Maybe it’s age or maybe time is REALLY speeding up on us, I prefer the latter thought of course.

This year I am all about NEW things. One of those NEW things is Foods. I really want to try out, LOTS of New foods this year. Whether that be a New Spin on something old or just trying out something completely NEW to me, kind of foods.
Cranberries are one of those, NEW things I want to try more of. It’s not that I have never tried or had Cranberries before. It’s just, that I don’t EVER use Cranberries. I find myself looking past them or picking something else on the menu to eat, if Cranberries are in it.

Just before Thanksgiving, one of my Facebook/Blogging friends, Clarice from Storybook Woods had posted a Gluten Free Cranberry Cake recipe. Our family is Gluten Free, so I am always on the look out for new GF recipes.
This one particularly caught my eye. I had actually just (that day) bought some Fresh, Organic Cranberries from the Market. I am not sure, I really had any intention of using them, it just seemed like the Holiday thing to do. Not to mention I was seeing all those BEAUTIFUL, Sugar Sprinkled cranberries, ALL over Blog land. I did a Quick assessment of my pantry, to see if I had all the ingredients on hand. To my surprise, I had everything needed.

I am really looking forward to this year of 2014, in how I can work Cranberries into our Families diet. Finding New ways to use and enjoy them.
What foods have you over looked or maybe even turned your nose up at?
Are you willing to try some NEW things/food this year, if so what might that be?
Maybe you’ll consider giving this Gluten Free, Cranberry Cake a try, I am sure you will LOVE it, just as much as we do.

NOTE** It’s not a super sweet dessert, so if your use to SUGARY foods you may want to add more sugar. We have a VERY, VERY low sugar diet, so our children are use to, low to unsweetened foods and desserts.
I Hope you enjoy it and have a VERY BLESSED New Year!

    Our son is a type 1 diabetic so I am always looking for healthy low sugar stuff. What is that coconut sugar? That is new to me. I want to figure out this year how to boost my iron intake since I became anemic and also limit my consumption of gluten and sugar,to see if it helps with headache/sinus problems. I want to dramatically alter my diet to more clean eating, less chemicals. That means more time planning, shopping and cooking healthy meals but I am up for it (i think 😉

      Hi Suzi,
      Yes, that is Coconut Sugar 🙂 It is made from sustainably harvested, sap collected from Freshly cut flower buds of the the coconut palm trees. It’s MINERAL rich, Gluten Free and Low-Glycemic. It has a Carmel like flavor. Gluten has been linked to many different ailments and can cause inflamation in the body. We are a family 8 and have successfully been GF, with even the pickiest of eaters 🙂 All the best to you this “Healthy” New Year!

      Suzi, coconut sugar is the lowest sugar on the glycemic level. My mother is got her diabetes under control and uses coconut sugar and stevia. Of course you do not want to eat tons of it. Moderation in all things. One reason why this recipe is not too sweet. Clarice

      One more thing Suzi, this can be assembled the night before and baked off in the morning if that helps. Clarice

I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake a I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake and grabbed a banana out of the freezer and was about to put it into my shake before I realized it was a frozen egg roll. Sooooo that's how my day is going so far! 🤪How about you?

It's honestly fairly representative of my state of mind these days as I can't seem to make the date on the calendar match the date in my spirit because it feels like it should be January 45th. Every year this month drags on and every year it seems to surprise me for some reason. In addition, my heart just feels heavy as I witness a lot of darkness and sadness around me. So, I'm choosing to control what I can control by making my house feel as cozy as possible, relishing the sunshine whenever it dares to peek through the clouds, gathering inspiration for warmer weather projects and, most importantly, resting in the comfort of the sovereignty of my Father.

“God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that everyone he has made may know his work..." Job 37:5-7
What if you could do something at the beginning of What if you could do something at the beginning of your day that would be a gift to yourself later on? That’s what we’re talking about on this week’s Tip Tuesday! #tiptuesday
The sun decided to make another appearance today! The sun decided to make another appearance today! It’s been such a lovely Sunday. Chocolate croissants for breakfast followed by church then naps/football/reading/etc and soon we’ll be heading out to dinner with friends. These are my favorite kind of weekends. Hope yours has been lovely too! 🌿
Yesterday was stormy and cold but today the sunshi Yesterday was stormy and cold but today the sunshine is breaking through the fog and my house just seems happier. We definitely needed to see that light streaming in through the windows and it’s a gift I don’t take for granted.

And yes, there are still twinkle lights on my mantle because those help when the sunshine goes away again. ✨
Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here i Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here in the Willamette Valley has me feeling less frustrated about my migraine forcing me to just snuggle up indoors and these flowers in my kitchen are lifting my spirits. What are you up to on this holiday weekend?
It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offe It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offering a gentle reminder from my own parenting experience after feeling my heart pricked with conviction about what was waiting for my daughter every day after school. I hope it will encourage you! 🌿#tiptuesday
The day after Christmas I found myself laundering The day after Christmas I found myself laundering and folding all of the linens we used the previous night as we hosted my husband's side of the family for dinner and other festivities. As I laid out each cloth napkin and folded them one by one, I couldn't help but be struck by what a simple, yet meaningful, task it was. It's such an honor and privilege to be the hostess and, at this stage of my life, I realize that this has almost one hundred percent become my role now. Our parents are in their 70's and have either downsized significantly or simply don't have the energy to take on hosting duties for a large group. I could resent this. I could feel overwhelmed by it. But, instead, I'm choosing to embrace it knowing that, someday, I too will pass the hosting torch and I hope that I will be welcomed with love and attentiveness. So, I fold the linen napkins, taking pleasure in the way all of the creases line up and how neat and tidy they look in the drawer of my dining room buffet. These seemingly simple chores are part of the lifeblood of homemaking and my attitude towards them can either be one of gratefulness or grumbly-ness (yes, I'm making up words now). 

And I’m choosing gratefulness. 

“This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.” (Elisabeth Elliot⁣)
Welcome to Tip Tuesday! I’m so excited to be kic Welcome to Tip Tuesday! I’m so excited to be kicking off the year with a brand new series! Each weekly installment will feature a tip for everything from your home to faith to parenting to family life and so much more. My goal for 2023 is to have far more personal interaction with this community while continuing on with the mission of weaving together all things heart and home.

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. H “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” 

Here’s to beginnings. Happy new year friends! May you experience the majesty and sovereignty of the Lord in 2023 like never before! ✨
Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favor Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favorite for sure. Everything is still festive and decorated but there’s none of the stress of the cooking and wrapping and making preparations. It’s the week where we get to take everything slowly and simply enjoy being together while the house still has twinkling lights and we can just be cozy.

What about you? How will you be spending this week? ✨
