Yummy World is a brand that specializes in fun food-related toys (plush, keychains, collectibles, etc). These toys are absolutely adorable and would also be the perfect gift for an adult who is young at heart. Over here at Give It A Whirl Girl I blog about all things that are food related and I have been busy creating gift guides for the past month. I did not want to leave the children out of these foodie gifts so today I wanted to break down my favorites that can be found on Amazon.

The Yummy World brand is associated with Kid Robot. The Yummy World items are not only too-cute-to-resist but they are great collector’s items as well. They are continuously coming up with new and exciting product offerings. They sure do have some creative masterminds working for them because their toys always have an innovative design. read more

RECIPE – Devil’s Food Vegan & Gluten Free Donuts – To Die For Goodness

4 Comments

I have a confession to make. I am addicted to my donut pan! I picked one up last weekend at Mile’s Cake and Candy Supplies in Clinton Township and I am so glad that I did. It is so much fun to work in the kitchen with my daughter making these healthy-ish gluten-free baked donuts. I went with a 6-cavity donut pan from Wilton. Wilton is a trusted source when it comes to baking supplies so I felt very confident purchasing this pan for the Give It A Whirl Girl kitchen. I did not use this pan for the recipe below but it would be best going with this pan. I used a flexible heart-shaped silicone mold with the donuts in the recipe and they were difficult to remove from the mold. So trust me here, go with a Wilton pan. You will thank me later. The cooking times are the same for either pan. read more

The Baking Edition Part One – Friday Faves

Image 2 Comments

I have recently fallen head-over-heels in love with baking. It is something that I am very passionate about. I know the appearance of my baked goods is not yet top notch like a professional's work. My baking technique is something that I am determined to perfect so someday I can have some drool-worthy looking goodies. I will say this, though, the flavor is usually spot-on and I do nail that! Some will say that is all that matters but I also want my baked goods to look more visually appealing.

This week's Friday Faves will focus on items that will help you along your way with baking. I will include some essentials and also some other items that look worth splurging on! This will be part one of this list. There are a ton of other baking items out there that I have my eye on so I will do another baking essentials list in the near future.

TRUWOMEN protein bars are made of completely plant-based ingredients and they include ingredients like cassava flour, brown rice protein, sunflower oil, roasted almond butter, and they are lightly sweetened with organic cane sugar. No sugar alcohols here because sugar alcohols can cause an upset stomach for many. The great thing about these TRUWOMEN protein bars is that there is absolutely no chalky aftertaste that you often get with a protein bar. So if you are into clean eating with only clean ingredients TRUWOMEN can come through and deliver the greatness to you!
