gluten free cookies glutenfree biscuits
Today I was asked for ‘those yummy chewy cookies’ and I really couldn’t remember … so that is where this blog comes into action. The reason I started this in the first place was because of being chaotic and forgetting recipes so for my own benefit I started this because I would not be able …

gluten free crumble gluten free rhubarb crumble
Any fruit will do – the point really is the crumble topping. We really missed crumble at the beginning of being gluten free and now we don’t. (I am making it sound as if we eat this all the time – it is an occasional treat!) Only Olivia and I are gluten free and the …

gluten free leftovers rationing
One of few veg I can guarantee Mats will eat (he is 11), is broccoli. Over enthusiastic about how much he may consume, I had enough leftover for a whole other family lockdown sitting. Turning sadly pale in colour (the broccoli!) in the fridge, this was the answer, this time anyway. And you probably will …

I don’t know about you, but I find that sometimes I think we will have this or that for lunch and then something else is eaten and I end up with unintentional leftovers. Well here I had cold baked potatoes looking wrinkled and lonely and perhaps not fit for much … until … I …

baked alaska compote gluten free pudding rhubarb
This is so similar to the Rhubarb pie that it is hardly worth posting, but the reason I am is that it is a pastry-less version which my daughter prefers. She is strictly gluten free so all of these are with her in mind, and me as I think I am where she gets it …

This is from last weekend and despite being in lock down, I feel as busy as before so have not got around to posting this yet. Well I probably am not busy really but I am enjoying being able to focus on all those things I perhaps didn’t before, like painting walls and doors. Sadly …
