GF DF Banana & Egg Muffins
GF Toasted Marshmallow, Chocolate & PB Cookies
Warning: These cookies these are not for the faint hearted, they are incredibly moorish and not being modest at all breathtakingly yummy.
I made these beauties to take into the office for a Movember bake sale, I wanted something that I could eat (and my fellow GF collegues) but that anyone could eat without having a clue it was GF.
This did just that, no one knew they were GF until I told them after they had scoffed them down/ realised I had brought them in.
Review: Sainsbury’s Free From Digestive Biscuits
I brought these biscuits to make the base of my fabulous gluten free banoffee pie (Link) and they really did do the job well, it was a shame however the reason the base for the pie was so lovely was due to the butter and chocolate that I added to it.
I brought 2 packs and had almost 3/4 of a pack left after the pie, however all but one are still in the cupboard over a week later.
So why you ask are these biscuits still in the cupboard and not in the depths of my belly? Well they are flavorless, have a odd crumbly texture and resemble nothing of a digestive, they are £1.35 (Link) for about 10 biscuits.
Overall opinion Mr Sainsburys you can do better! So all in all I give them a 2/10.
They only scored the points that they did because they helped make such a yummy pie.
I have reviews loads more GF products so you don’t have to try out the dud ones feel free to check them out 🙂 (Link)

Snacks & Breakfast ideas
Gluten Free Toffee Popcorn (and salty variety)
I had a few friends coming over for a few drinks and a jolly good catch up at the weekend, and I wanted there to be some snack nibbly bits, and was wondering what a nice and easy GF option would be.
So pop corn was most certainly the answer, naturally gluten free, super quick and easy to make a variety of flavours- this time I made a nice buttery salty savoury and a sweet and sticky toffee.
Gluten Free Amaretto & Chocolate Brownie Cake
I baked this cake for my house mates birthday, and it is hands down one of the best cakes I have ever made. It is a little chewy like a brownie at the edges and a cross between a cake and brownie on the inside. However you have now been warned it is super sickly, so little piece at a time is the way forward. Continue reading

Review: Nairns Gluten Free Oakcakes (Herb & Seed)
Pre Gluten days I loved loved loved having cheese & biscuits. I thought these days were long behind me.
But these tasty little oatcakes hit the spot. They were very tasty and fairly seedy and complimented my cheddar perfectly, I think they would be great with soft cheese too.
The only downside to them is that they are a little bit cardboardie in texture and I think for that reason a plain version of these could be a bit disappointing (not that I have tried them yet!). Continue reading
