Hubby and I decided to make the most of a child-free couple of days during half term, and booked a meal at Brocco on the Park, a restaurant & hotel at Hunter’s Bar. We’d been looking forward to it for ages, and having browsed their rather slick website, I knew they catered for coeliacs, so … Continue reading
Quite often I end up eating cereal for breakfast during the week, as it’s quick. But when I have time, I prefer to have something different, for variety and to avoid over-doing it with cereals and grains. I made a very simple breakfast frittata with some leftovers: 1 large egg a slice of ham, chopped … Continue reading
I really wish I could have made this look a bit prettier! But it tasted divine and it’s lighter and healthier than traditional lasagne. Today was just an assembly job as I already had the bolognese sauce in the freezer. Everybody has a bolognese recipe so I don’t think I need to reproduce mine in full … Continue reading
Lokanta is a lovely Turkish mezze restaurant in Broomhill, Sheffield. I’ve seen on their website that Lokanta have introduced their first entirely gluten free menu, having found that much of their food naturally lends itself to being gluten free. This is their new early bird menu, and they’re planning to add a gluten free symbol … Continue reading
Breakfast in the week is always such a rush, so we like to make something a bit more special at the weekends. Home made Scotch pancakes with maple syrup & bacon were a big favourite but off the menu now for me, due to the flour, the sugar and the syrup – triple whammy! It’s taken … Continue reading
On many occasions I feel like being coeliac and off refined sugar where possible means I miss out on lots of food – in some cafes and restaurants more than half the menu can be off limits, which is frustrating. However, sometimes I find myself being more than a bit grateful that my food quest … Continue reading
I really want to share this recipe because it’s become a staple in my house. It’s great on so many levels: it’s quick and simple to make, super healthy because of all the green veg, the kids love it, and it’s a great way of using up broccoli stalks which would otherwise go in the … Continue reading
Looking at my recent posts, we seem to have eaten out a lot recently! Last weekend I finally made it to Eten Cafe in Sheffield, a cafe/bistro I’ve been intending to get to for some time. We had some visitors for the weekend so hubby, the kids and I took them on the train into Sheffield … Continue reading
Hubby took my parents and I to Fischers at Baslow Hall for a posh lunch for my birthday last week. We had planned it a while back, having been to the same restaurant once before I was diagnosed. We used to really enjoy eating out and trying the swanky tasting menus and with the coeliac … Continue reading
During half term my kids were on a football camp for three days, which involved packed lunches. As most gluten free bread is rubbish for sandwiches I treated them to a pack of 6 soft white rolls. To save time I decided to make all the sandwiches at once then freeze them, for streamlined lunchbox packing … Continue reading
