My recent discovery of nut creams and brief obsession with them has led me to experiment with home made ice creams: Cashew and strawberry ice cream I blended about 100g cashew nuts with a little water to make as smooth a cream as possible in my mini-whizzer. I then added some strawberries and a bit of agave … Continue reading
My oldest friend (as in length of time, not age) came round to stay the other week and very kindly brought me a bag of gluten free goodies from a farm shop in Congleton (I think). The thing I was most excited to try was this packet of Easy Bean Chickpea Crispbreads. BC (before coeliac) … Continue reading
I recently made a discovery that there’s a fab gluten free food company on my doorstep, in the centre of Sheffield. Delicious Alchemy was set up by coeliac Emma Killilea, who discovered she was coeliac after having a bad reaction to some wheat that had become stuck in her sock! According to the company website, Emma was … Continue reading
So, my attention-grabbing headline is slightly misleading – it’s actually frozen yoghurt. But it’s pure genius. It takes literally seconds to make and is such a treat for breakfast it feels like it should be bad for you, but it’s really healthy. All I did is blend a single portion of frozen fruit with … Continue reading
I have a new obsession – nut creams. I’d never really heard of nut creams until I saw a demo of a Vitamix blender at the weekend. Rather impressive it was, yet extremely pricey for a blender, albeit one that can make silky smooth cream from just nuts and water. The cream demonstrated by the Vitamix … 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
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
