We took the kids for a well deserved pub tea with some friends last week. We chose the Norfolk Arms in Ringinglow. Partly because I was previously tipped off about their gluten free menu and partly because they could accommodate eight of us at short notice. Yes, they have a separate NGCI menu (no gluten containing ingredients), … Continue reading
I went out to Ashoka on Ecclesall Road for a Christmas meal last week. And I’m very pleased to report that it’s another good option for gluten free food on Ecclesall Road, as there don’t seem to be that many at the moment, particularly individual places that aren’t part of a chain. I called the … Continue reading
Every year in my village there’s a lantern parade and Christmas tree lights switch-on. It’s a really nice event and I love taking the kids. It feels like the start of the Christmas season. Lots of kids with home made lanterns, carol singing, and a brief appearance from the big man himself. In order to … Continue reading
I had a great tip off from my mum this week. She was extremely excited to tell me that she’d been in Marks and Spencer and put in an order for all sorts of gluten free goodies for our pre-Christmas get together. Now obviously M&S isn’t the cheapest, and if you like everything home-made, it’s … Continue reading
I bought myself a Vitamix blender this week (early Christmas present). It’s a high speed blender that is able to process at much higher speeds and with much sharper blades then a regular blender. They’re expensive, but having researched extensively, the only high speed blenders on the market are this price. And I’m planning to use … Continue reading
I can’t remember the last time I looked at Twitter and didn’t find post advertising Bionita’s gluten free gnocchi at the top of my feed. It’s a tireless campaign. But I do like gnocchi and after initially swearing not to because I was fed up with the sight of it, I eventually succumbed to the … Continue reading
I was very kindly sent some of the new Ilumi Noodle Pots to test out. Hubby and I have had fun sampling them over the last couple of days and my cooking time has been much reduced! Asian flavoured noodle pots seem all the rage these days, and as rice noodles really lend themselves to gluten … Continue reading
My youngest boy’s absolute favourite meal in the world is fish and chips. Which is why I was delighted when somebody on Twitter let me know that there is a chippy in Sheffield that serves gluten free fish and chips. As it was small’s birthday this week, there seemed no better option than to take … Continue reading
Hubby and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary this week! What a decade it’s been: we moved to Sheffield and made it our home, we got cats, kids, moved house twice. Lots to celebrate. Obviously, a swanky meal out is called for, and we had a lovely meal somewhere we’d been keeping for a special … Continue reading
I’ve been redoubling my efforts since my last dietitian appointment, as my bloods showed there may be still some reaction to gluten going on in my body. My dietitian advised me that it’s not uncommon early on and it may be I’m sensitive to codex wheat starch – I hope not. But it got me … Continue reading
