Banoffee Pie is one of my all time favorites possibly only beaten by lemon meringue pie (Link- Coming soon) depending on my mood.
This pie is definitely not for the faint hearted or those calorie counting, but it is so simple and just dam delicious and is a great thing to whip up if you have people coming over for dinner and your guests won’t even know it’s gluten free. Continue reading
For those who don’t know this week is invisible illness awareness week (8-14th September) and to raise awareness I am going to post a blog a day whether that be in my new personal updates section or even a recipe.
I started off the week by answering invisible awareness week’s “30 Things About My Invisible Illness You May Not Know” (Link) but today I am going to do a bit of a u turn and talk about a great snack which is naturally GF but also something hassle free and nutritious , so that people suffering from an invisible illness hopefully would have no problem making.
This amazing snack simple nutritious is … Corn. Yes I know it might not be what you expected me to say. But on a day like today, where I have been to work for a couple of hours got home mid afternoon it is absolutely perfect. Continue reading
So tonight for tea after a fairly busy weekend, I wanted something easy and nutritious for tea. Like most of my meals I kind of made it up as I went along but I was so please with result I thought I would share it and save it on here so I actually remember for future reference.

Like most offices we defiantly have a bake/cake policy when it’s your birthday or for basically any other reason. So when my friends last day coincided with me passing my final chartered accounting exam, it was defiantly time to make something a little special.
My friend absolutely loves peanut butter, so I put my thinking hat on and remembered this absolutely amazing PB fudge the other week. So t I decided it would make a great leaving pressy for a friend but also be something a lil different for ‘Fat Friday’ at the office. Only problem is I have never made fudge before in my life nor did I have a clue how to do it. But how hard could it be right?
Well I suddenly realised most recipes are a bit fiddly and required a sugar thermometer and careful timings, well I have to be honest that isn’t what I called fun. But I found a great fudge making technique online which doesn’t require a thermometer or careful timings YAY!!!
Today a friend asked me if I wanted to meet up for a catch up at lunch. I jumped on the offer to have something other than my standard jacket potato and tuna from my works canteen, pretty much the only GF option.
As I don’t have a full hour break due to being on a phased return to work, I needed something quick and most importantly had a non potato GF option. So Friska on Victoria Street it was. I had been there many times before I was GF and all their food is super tasty and I thought, it is just the sort of place that would have GF options (And I was right!). Continue reading
I love falafels, they are just soooo tasty!!!! So many recipes are quite complicated and take a while due to having to soak chickpeas for agesss. When I discovered this recipe I was very sceptical to how nice they would be considering from start to finish they only take about 10 mins.
I decided that the falafels by themselves simply wasn’t enough chickpeas, I may or may not be obsessed! So I decided to make these gorgeous Chickpea Flat breads/ Pancakes they are somewhere in between a pancake and a flat bread. Continue reading
This is a simple and delicious recipe, that I adapted to make GF from the Hairy Bikers Diet cook book. Not only is this recipe GF it is also less than 300 calories per portion.
A lot of people are a bit confused about Quinoa and I can safely say I was a bit scared of it to begin with, but it is something that I have fallen in love with since going gluten free.
So I really wanted to write a posts which explains all the benefits of quinoa, as well as a one stop guide to cooking it. Continue reading
