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
This is nothing at all to do with food but I wanted to share it anyway. It’s just the ice that had formed on my car windscreen this morning. I wish I understood how this comes about. It was so pretty and feather-like, and it reminded me how remarkably beautiful the world can be. Then … Continue reading
I took my boys for a half term treat to the National Emergency Services Museum in Sheffield city centre this week. They had a great time climbing in and out of the fire engines and ambulances and trying on the fire fighters’ helmets! I searched for somewhere for lunch within (the kids’) walking distance from … Continue reading
Instant noodle pots seem to be having a bit of a revival these days, and have been given an oriental flavour. This is a vast improvement on the Pot Noodle in my view. And it’s great that there are some emerging convenience products to cater for us coeliacs. These noodle pots make a great filling work … Continue reading
I’ve written a review of Orgran Gluten Free Pizza and Pastry Multimix for the Gluten Free Centre. You can read it here. This is the rather yummy pizza I made with it, topped with chicken, artichokes and peppers. Continue reading
Great news! The Carluccio’s Italian restaurant chain is going to try to work with Coeliac UK to gain the gluten free accreditation. Last week, I wrote about my trip to the new Carluccio’s restaurant on Eccy Road in Sheffield – see my previous blog post. I had a great time, but subsequently found their disclaimer … Continue reading
I had a pretty good meal at Carluccio’s on Ecclesall Road in Sheffield recently. I went with my book club, one of whom is also gluten free, and I have to say, the food, wine and service was good. Carluccio’s (an Italian chain) is pretty new to Eccy Road, not far away from the locally famed Italian Restaurant, Nonna’s, and nestled amongst … Continue reading
We love a good breakfast in my house. On lazy weekend mornings hubby and I love to sit with a big mug of coffee and indulge in a nice hearty breakfast, to ring the changes from our midweek cereal scoffing. I was looking for interesting brunch recipes for over Christmas, when I came across this … Continue reading
