My afternoons often consist of “Mummy my tummy’s hungry” from Miss K (age 4) and “Mor Mor” with a sign for “Eat” from J-boy (17 months). I swear the toddler boy could graze all afternoon if allowed! I’m constantly on the look out for tasty, healthy snacks for my kids. Generally I prefer to have […]
Spiced Apple Granola Bars (gluten free, no added sugar)
You remember that whole apple and peanut butter craze? If you liked that then you will love these. Don’t fret, if you are not a nut butter fan (my hubby isn’t) then I’m pretty sure you should try these too. Think apple, cinnamon, cloves, almonds, pumpkin seeds, crunchy sesame seeds and a sweet apple undertone. […]
My best gluten free, wheat free bread recipe!
Finally. HALLELUJAH. I’ve got a recipe to share with you for not just decent, but really nice, tasty, can be eaten without toasting, doesn’t crumble all over the place…. wheat free, gluten free BREAD. I know. Really. I’d pretty much given up making bread for myself. I make the family 1-2 loaves a week in […]
Gingerbread Biscuits: Wheatfree and gluten free.
We’ve been doing an activity advent calander this year, which has been a lot of fun. Each day I’ve planned out and put a different Christmas themed activity in our advent calander. It’s meant I’ve been able to plan in all the little things I’ve wanted to do with the kids and it’s made me […]
Healthier Chocolate Beetroot Brownies: wheat free, gluten free.
I love a chocolate brownie, who doesn’t? But they so often just don’t agree with me. Due to having Crohns diease I have to e wheat free and I can’t tolerate too much fat. For ages I have been meaning to play around with making a lighter, healthier, wheat free version of a brownie. Finally, […]
A birthday tea party!
It was my birthday this week. I LOVE birthdays. However often I end up a little disappointed because nothing quite gets organised in time. So this time I took control of the matter and decided birthdays are for celebrating! Seeing it was to be a glorious sunny day I invited a few friends round for […]
Blackberry Scones (no added sugar, wheat free, gluten free)
It’s Blackberry season. Earlier than last year but then all fruit seems to have been. I love a bit of free food (who doesn’t) so myself and the kids have been off foraging. This typically leads to some very purple fingers, a few prickles and lots of eating but a few blackberries have made it […]
Health in a loaf: Nut and Seed Bread.
I’ve been properly wheat free for about 5 years now and in all that time I’ve yet to fully master the art of a decent bread. I’ll be honest it isn’t something I’ve spent much time on, but I probably should! Ask me to bake crumpets or pitta wheat free and I’ll rustle them up… […]
Pizza Pinwheels
My family love pizza and so I usually make extra and we have leftovers for lunches. However being picnic weather I don’t always find cold pizza transports well. So this weekend I played around with making pizza pinwheels which have promptly been names pizza rolls by Miss K. Her initial comment was “Mummy what’s this” […]
Broccoli, Stilton and Apricot Scones (gluten and wheat free)
Some very kind friends had Miss K to play the other day. When she came back one of the main things she was full of was food and descriptions of food. I’ve created a foodie! One of her descriptions reminded me of how I’ve not made savoury scones for so, so long and how […]
