Cheesy Courgette Biscuits Vlog – great toddler snack.
Recently the husband and the toddler have been have a bit of a “snack-off”. She asks for “pink biscuits”, “sweeties” and snacks that generally she knows are not for everyday eating and Daddy finds it hard to negotiate. She is a highly skilled negotiator (may get that skill from me), watch out for her later […]
Gluten Free, Wheat Free, Low Fodmap Tortillas/Wraps Recipe.
New toys…. getting a new breadmaker has sent me I’ll admit, a bit breadmaker-tastic. I made wheat free pizza base, normal pizza base, gluten free bread, normal bread and these tortilla wraps all in one weekend. Having chatted about Mexican food and sampled some Nacho’s recenltly I had a desire to make fajitas…. which turned […]
Gluten Free Healthier Chocolate and Beetroot Brownies.
Chocolate Brownies, what’s not to love? I actually can’t eat rich foods, so these babies hit the spot for me on more than one level. They are healthier as I’ve cut down the butter and chocolate, they have lower in sugar, gluten/wheat free and they contain beetroot plus prunes. Today was one of those days […]

What I can tempt you with is this is a super healthy, tasty alternative to ice-cream that will leave you refreshed and cool without having that slightly guilty “too many calories” type of a feeling.

Homemade Blackberry Frozen Yoghurt
When it’s hot, ice cream calls! However much I love the creamy taste of ice cream, too much of it’s richness does not agree with my tummy or waistline. Frozen yoghurt is a much healthier option and this one has the bonus of being fulled of calcium and fruit with a little added sugar. So […]
Vegetable Biryani
Today was one of those days when we were starting to distinctly lack in terms of vegetables in the house…. it took me a little while to get inspiration for what to make with green beans, baby sweetcorn and mushrooms. A flick through my handwritten recipe book came up trumps though…. I love having my […]
Elderflower Wine
Homemade elderflower wine really isn’t a hard to make as you’d think and it’s pretty fun to do too. We discovered this a couple of years ago when I was planning small girls dedication party.
