I have surpassed myself! Very pleased with this little invention and only minutes to make. Fantastic little gluten free treat that’s also pretty low in sugar. I have been in love with the Eat Natural Peanut and Popcorn bar since I discovered it a few months ago. Last night I was inspired to make my … Continue reading

Mini puds
We had some friends round for tea a few weeks ago and I fancied doing some mini desserts to nibble at in the evening. After a lot of wasted time looking through recipe books and failing to find quite what I wanted, I managed to get some better inspiration from the good old web. I … Continue reading
Cannelloni
Pre-coeliac diagnosis, I used to make cannelloni using either the dried pasta tubes you can buy, or latterly by rolling them up in fresh lasagne sheets. Neither of these were totally satisfactory as the tubes were always too small and fiddly, and the lasagne sheets generally split. So it’s been on my mind for a … Continue reading
Home made southern fried chicken
I spend quite a lot of time looking for nutritious recipes to cook for the family, but it’s also nice to make comfort food. I’ve been meaning to try this for a while now as I had some buttermilk in the freezer, but there are hundreds of recipes to choose from online. I chose this recipe by … Continue reading
Waffle experimentation
I was very excited to get a waffle maker for Christmas – I’ve been after one for quite a while as part of my breakfast diversification programme. 😀 My waffle maker is this Cuisinart one that makes two square waffles at a time. I can’t give the lowdown on any other machines as mine was a … Continue reading
Buckwheat blini
I’ve been meaning to try making my own blini for a while now, to make the most of buckwheat flour being gluten free. I already use it to make galettes (the French savoury pancakes) but I was really pleased when I came across this easy peasy recipe on the Doves Farm website. Blini are traditionally made … Continue reading
Home made gluten free fruity fibre cereal
Boy no. 1 has been on his gluten free diet for a few months now and is adjusting well. I’ve had to rethink my after work/school weekday teas but there are plenty of things available to replace the old glutenny favourites almost like for like. It’s easy to get hold of gluten free gnocchi, pasta or fish fingers, … Continue reading
Yorkshire puds
I’ve been experimenting with a recipe for gluten free Yorkshire puddings and managed to create a recipe that I think replicates the texture very well, albeit without much of a rise. They look a bit more like concave buns but they taste great. They’re really simple to make because you just lob all of the … Continue reading
Sweetcorn fritters
Now one of the boys is gluten free as well as me, I’m having to go back to the drawing board a bit on weekday tea ideas. Previously, I was able to persuade them both to have a hot meal at school a few times a week so I could make something quick and light … Continue reading
Puy lentils with squash and ham
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about my top five naturally gluten free products. One of them was these ready prepared Puy lentils from Merchant Gourmet. I just thought I’d share a randomly created meal I used them in this week, as it’s quite quick, nutritious and very tasty. And it’s very colourful – I … Continue reading
