I am SO glad this recipe worked. My hubby is a huge quiche fan, I’m not particularly but that’s mainly because I just don’t like pastry. So this recipe is the perfect combination as it uses rice as the base making it suitable for me and it still hits the quiche spot for the husband. […]
Overnight Oats: Breakfast in a hurry.
You know those days when you look at the next days diary and realise it’s just going to be a hectic morning, with no time for breakfast? Or those evenings you feel dog-tired and know you need a few extra minutes in bed? Well in my mind not eating breakfast is NOT AN OPTION. I […]

We all love mushrooms in our house, they are always in the fridge which means this quick, easy recipe is a great standby one. However this week I had a handful of real mushroom beauties to use… that we had grown ourselves in the kitchen (using a mushroom growing kit before you query my cleaning […]
Va Va Vroom Vegetable Fajitas
This week I haven’t managed to blog much as the toddler has been sick, not sleeping much and in my bed. Sleep deprivation and a need for many mummy cuddles balanced around work has been a real juggle! Today she has definitely been on the mend, which has given me some more time to get […]
Healthier Chocolate Brownies: gluten and wheat free.
This week California Prunes were kind enough to send me some samples of their delicious, juice prunes. They came individually wrapped which I thought was a bit quirky and great if you just wanted one at a time but a bit of a faff if you wanted more than one. The prunes themselves really are […]

When in Spain…Eat Paella.
With parents living in Spain I’ve eaten a fair bit of paella and I must admit it’s yummy but often very rich and just a bit too much for our tummies. I’m also wheat intolerant and let’s just say that the area of Spain my parents live in is NOT good for special diets. We […]
The Homemade Bread Trial
After about 12 years my trusty old breadmaker recently gave up on me, well to be more precise, I gave up on it. It was making all kinds of odd noises and only baked bread properly with a tea towel over the top of it, my wheat free bread wasn’t working at all. So I’ve […]

I love butternut squash, this recipe was inspired by a friend has made a similar dish for me for lunch on occasion and it’s alwasy stood out in my memory, so here is my take on it. Its a good way to get veggies into those who aren’t keen on them, the butternut goes sweet, […]
